Also, this would probably spark off a huge surge of players joining Starcraft 2 again pretty soon, in my opinion. | ||

But wait – there’s more! We’ve enabled the Protoss and Zerg races for the StarCraft II Starter Edition. That means all Starter Edition players can choose from all three races for a limited time. How much is this limited time?edit: Answered in Slasher's interview with Chris Sigaty: But, starting today up until the end of Sunday, all three races are available. We will go back to one race being active, but then we'll have weekends with promotions to switch the race or have multiple races active at once. Thus ignore the rest I said.  It's really nice that the races will be more or less available via this method. Limiting only to terran was a problem, because it's very possible for a newcomer to have watched competitions and already like some other race. | ||

Production director Chris Sigaty explains why spawning is only just now coming to RTS, says company has done a poor job making gamers aware of Starter Edition. Excerpt: Spawning has been a feature in Blizzard games since Warcraft II and Starcraft: Brood War. As such a Blizzard-specific feature, why has it taken so long for this to come to Starcraft II? I think priorities. This was something we talked about in the past but never really had a good vision for it. We were working on important features for the core game as we did Heart of the Swarm, and a lot of the patches that followed up Wings of Liberty that added things like Masters and Grand Masters leagues. If you go across the patches they were all adding newly important functionality. Then Heart of The Swarm drops with a whole bunch of great stuff, including things that make life easier for players to find each other, take command, all the new replay functionality, all that stuff felt more important. Now that we've had the bandwidth to do this, it just felt like the right time now that we've finally had a little bit of air to breathe into this feature. http://www.gamespot.com/news/blizzard-talks-new-spawning-option-for-starcraft-ii-6409256 Also, there was a special StarCrafts about this: | ||

I have plenty of friends who bought WoL but haven't purchased HOTS. Now they can play with me any time they want at no extra cost! Come to think of it, now all my friends who bought WoL, played it for a bit and then switched to LoL can play with me any time they want without having to invest 40 bucks into HOTS. This is awesome. | ||
