Starcraft was made in 1998 and Broodwar came out soon after...this means there was at least 6 months and cents of updates, patches, fixes, bugs, problems, issues that you were not around for....so of course you walked in on an awesome game.....why make such opinions about a game that is still in the beta stage


Starcraft was considered an awesome and entertaining game even before the release of Brood War. We didn't have to wait until Brood War came out to be able to have open chats with eachother either... Balance issues are understandable, but we're talking about a basic game feature here... Beta tests back then were also different from beta tests today. Today, betas are used just as much to promote the game and advertise the in-game experience as they are to actually test the game. Certainly Blizzard's recent betas have been more about hyping the game than testing features, which is why Blizzard recent games have gone into beta much more polished than other companies.

i think you shouldnt rely so much on such online-chats and communitys (ofc on TL you should ;])
because if you look outside the window, you can see so many people, be potentialy your friend and you could see him/her every day without even going online. i never saw the communication system in bw and i dont say its bad but after 10 years, i imagine there are many changes. during the beta are of course also many changes and possibly after 10 years there are also just a few people. so go outside and see people, you can see every day if you want. its not so heartbreaking then

im pretty sure i read dustin browder say they have no intention of bringing the chat channel system back, because they didnt have enough time to release date, and with all the stuff they are working on now (facebook integration oh jesus i cant wait for this shit).

It puzzles me as to how stupid blizzard can be, to remove one of the most basic components of a multiplayer setting. BW had an ok chat channel system, which was further improved in wc3(with clan system, active friends list and such), and now they removed it, lol
Question.?
