Sorry, WoW: New StarCraft Universe Trailer Slays Bosses, Doubts
Goodness. This is frighteningly impressive. Sure, people dream up ambitious mod ideas every day, but rarely do they ever lock horns with Blizzard, dust themsleves off, and emerge with a product worthy of tears from most pros' ducts. StarCraft Universe – perhaps better remembered by its former name, “World of StarCraft” – is a mod that aims to transform StarCraft II into a fully featured multiplayer RPG. Earlier this year, the project was certainly coming along nicely, but now... damn. Can we give someone money for this? Or at least a slightly discounted hug? Gawk at the full thing yourself after the break.

If playing as Zerg, how many levels do you spend as a Lowly Larvae, before class change/evolution chain? and how would the Larvae level up?

If I was Blizzard, I'd take a good hard look and try to hire this guy. And not just to have the rights to the property and publish this as a formal game, but jesus look at the talent. Take away the technical challenges just to achieve it, just the design of the game is awesome. He could be hired as design alone, let alone technical difficulty!
I heart mutas.

Definitely an interesting trailer and this might push me enough to get SC2. Hopefully, the mod team won't pull a Blizzard and charge subscription fees.
As for the people who want to give money, they ask for donations on their website (www.starcraftuniverse.org).

I wish i had Four hands.. so i could give this game 4 thumbs down. Where is the new ideas? the innovation. not being negative nancy but starcraft always bored the hell outa me and making another WoW with new stuff to look at is not something to "gawk" over. It looks boring already.

Yeah, I think that was my reaction as well. Then again, trailers do have the tendency to make us all do that, so we'll see how the actual gameplay goes.
