Thread: Starcraft 2

  1. #1

    Default Starcraft 2

    Ok, the chairperson has said we can start threads about indivdual games so here it goes:

    Should starcraft have a forum at the new site?

    What advantages would we the site have by adding a new forum for it?

    How could we gain new members from it?

    Well firstly i say yes for sure.
    When Starcraft 2 is released if we already have forum dedicated to it we can grab those new fans quickly before other sites.
    Also if it is moddable we can get started on mods quickly attracting more people.

    On its release its a Blizzard game, if they say its coming out on a day expect a delay. If its just announced expect a few years of a time gap.

    They are very.... ponderous at releasing titles if thats the right word to use.

    considering the massive SC fanbase, it would probably be prudent to have an entire site dedicated to SCII. As kanaric said, seeing as how a release is going to be further off in the future than even blizzard says, we'll have plenty of time to make a decision before the game comes out.

    I think the sooner its started the better though. We could have other blizzard games on there along side it like Warcraft 3.

    However we need to make sure we have people on this site that already would visit such a place and post there to start things up. I think we should have that for this.

    Star Craft 2 is easily the most anticipated game ever.

    I think seting up a forum at the Paradox site would be a good way to test the waters for a possible new blizzardcenter.net style site in the future - like the EU forum here and the Paraodox site.

    There wasnt realy any complaints when people suggested Starcraft 2 in other other thread - if there isnt any objections before the 2nd report is writen then I think its safe to assume that people are happy with star craft 2 having a forum at the site.

    IF the Paradox site is successful in the short and/or long term, once its established I think then SC2 would be a good game to look at, if not a blizzard site in general.

    I am not suggesting 'puting are eggs in one basket', I was just saying that a star craft forum would be a good basis for a possible new site in the future.

    Anyway does anyone have objections to starcraft 2 being given a forum?

    Nope no objections fully support this idea.

    they should be given a subforum, it should be generally about blizzard games and not just Starcraft 2

    I agree,

    if there is enough interest a subforum could be added to a blizzard forum for star craft 2 at a later point.

    Can we stop these threads suggesting random games? They don't serve a purpose. Thanks. Our decisions and task has already been made and made clear. Threads like this don't serve much purpose, and because they are largely irrelevant any decisions reached there-in will not be given due consideration by an adequate number of people.

    I'm starting to agree.

    However I think that Starcraft is a valid topic of conversation. I want to see ideas and discussion on it though otherwise its a useless topic.

    I am sorry - what exactly is the point on discussing star craft if you dont want a forum for it at the Paradox site? - which means because of TWC's gold affilate issue it cant be put anywere.

    If you have decided that there will be no other forums at the Paradox site then accept the fact that what appears to be your favourite game will not have a forum or sub forum at either the current or possible site.

    As with agreeing with Prof about not wanting me to start discussions about other games, you seem to be delibratly forgetting your comments on tuesday:
