Give "premium" players, as in people who spent money on SC2, a higher queue priority. a higher queue priority? also not a good idea i think | ||

I think this is the key takeaway At the very least, the multiplayer portion needs to be standalone or the online community will get really tiny come LotV | ||

At the panel, Browder basically said that, if they could make money from it, they'd do it. Well, duh. Absolutely any question that begins with "If you could make money with.." would be answered with a clear "yes" by Blizzard (or nearly any other company, really). But I'm sure this thread will go on for a dozen more pages with half the people in it seriously believing that Blizzard is actually having plans to do this. Oh, well.. | ||

You guys do know that this is Blizzard's standard answer for everything, right? It doesn't mean anything at all. They're not planning to make the change, and they're most likely not even seriously discussing it. At the panel, Browder basically said that, if they could make money from it, they'd do it.

-Blizzard made map editing software (like whole new map functionality/doodads/etc) which means you will need it for any custom map that uses it. -avatars -names -clan tags -offcial blizzard background art -new sound tracks for units/music released by blizzard -option for map makers to charge if they really want to try, and take a percentage of that. -Split the multiplayer and single player, so for people who didn't buy anything yet, they can buy just the multiplayer or a specfic campaign of their choice for less then buying whole games. -pay a small fee to expand friendlist +100 -pay a fee to rent a specific channel such that the owner can have moderator powers and give priority to certain people (if fully boot one person over another). Also expand max channel size for this specific channel. -rent space in the bnet "cloud" to save replays or game data not already saved. just a few ideas. | ||
