Any truth in the matter?

This sort of guessing game is getting monotonous. When they build it, it will come.


EDIT:

What if they make a Diablo RTS? Maybe a World of Starcraft?

"I want to be clear that we're not just content to be an MMO company. Some other companies get into the role of making just MMOs, but Blizzard lets the developers pick what they want to work on, and it's not all MMOs."

-Blizzard COO Paul Sams

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

dun, dun, dunnnn.

[Denial]

That be gay if they were to shut it down which i doubt it since diablo II and warcraft III runs off battle.net as well As well as a new patch for starcraft for tournaments is coming out within a few weeks.

[Spht]

It was a translation after all.  Maybe it was supposed to, say "Blizzard had plans for a sequel but shut down the project and decided to focus more on their servers for Starcraft to ensure its success into the future."

I dread the idea of Starcraft 2. I typically don't like modern games, for example, Warcraft III. I'm worried that a Starcraft sequel will ruin the good name of Starcraft, and one of the best classic games. :-/

QFT iago.

[Mystical]

I think i'd be cool if Starcraft II was like the same, but with more features and maybe a new race like ORC

But if it does come out lookin like Starcraft Ghost, or World of Warcraft, I'd be disapointed, Because I like games that are like WARCRAFT II, and STARCRAFT. =(

Well it will be in 3d so that sucks they should make it the same im sure millions of people would buy it if it came out looking the same as starcraft

[KrewL RaiN]

They best better keep the gameplay identical and not make it like warcraft 3 with the hero units for example.

[rabbit]

Hero units were great in single player, I just hope that's where they stay.

I agree i hope it will follow everything being the same just in 3d. But everything i hope we will have all of the single player games and multi player like we do now.

Straight from their webpage. If it's Starcraft 2, it ain't an RTS no more.
