it could have been a miscommunication in translation and what they mean is removal of 200 food cap and replaced with something else. also that seems like the sort of detail that could definitely be changed
That's what I assumed they meant, and I think it sucks really hard 
Just asking for lag fests and I just think it will make come backs etc much rarer.

shutting down the servers is kinda crazy huh?
It doesnt matter though, theres always going to be people who will make pvpgen-esque 3rd party client softwares and stuff, the original starcraft will still be playable.

Uh, opinions that blizzard will kill starcraft <- what's in the first post, meaning SPECULATION NOT FACT.
IGN's source is TL.net so they just made a mistake.

Shutting down the servers for SC seems like something that Blizzard would never do, especially because every single one of their games, old and new (excluding WoW) links to B.net. Just take Diablo as an example. It's as old as SC, yet they didn't touch the original games server accessibility in order to give D2 more success. It's just a bad idea to piss off those who want to play your other games to try and force them into another, and I don't think Blizzard is naive enough as a company to believe otherwise.
Just because WC3/WoW have been their focal point for so long doesn't mean they're abandoning SC or becoming less of a good company. They're still patching this old as hell game, aren't they?
All said, while I hope SC2 is coming, I'm holding out 'til official word comes to believe it. :p

they can't shut us down, we'll eventually find a way to get back up ;P:!!
|
I just want to say that I'm in shock at how good IGN's article is.
|
o shit ign actually checked here?
|
Man I hope this is true, where from this taken from?
Testie pm me
|
Holy shit, I heard about this from DIGG. TL.net is officially E-Famous.
And btw, If they shut down the original SC servers, I think a lot of people will just flat out kill themselves.
|
I just hope my computer can handle SC2 when/if it comes out.
But yea i would for it to come out but the features im worried about are removing the food cap and being able to select more than 12 units ;/

"The report also claims that Blizzard plans to shut down its original StarCraft servers in order to ensure the success of the sequel."
I hope thats bullshit...

Those reports of Blizzard "killing off" sc are complete and total bullshit. Think of the number of updates BW has undergone to get it to the state it is at today both client and server side. You think they'd get that all right on the first release of SC2? hell no, its going to have tons of bugs and imbalances that will take years to work out.
It will be very interesting to see how the pro scene reacts though

If they were going to shutdown the servers to ensure the success (which they don't even have to worry about success, StarCraft is the biggest RTS of all time), then why didn't they shutdown Warcraft II when they released Warcraft III.
|
AFAIK Blizzard has never shut off any of their games from multiplayer, no matter how old. If something this radical happened, private servers for both sc and sc2 would just become much more widespread.
|
And a deep hatred would arise for Blizzard, from the fans of Brood War.

i doubt thjis is true.... blizzard is working on wow like full fledged... and the website has yet to accounce any notion of actually there existing a SC2

So the whole blizzard team is working solely on WoW (which have been already released)? Doubtful.. REALLY doubtful.
