yeah, I remember a little while back some kid was making "world of starcraft" UMS game and blizz stepped in and told him 2 stop or they would sue him Lol.... glad 2 see this is finally making some headway though!
I was hoping though it wouldn't just be a SC2 mod... I wanted them 2 develop an actual MMO like WoW but all SC2... would be amazing... but well see what ends up happening with this mod, looks sick.
Actually maynard blizzard did not tell him to stop. he was hit by copyright claims from activision BUT blizzard stepped in and were like damn this is cool, so they brought him in to finish it XDthe cool part is that this whole thing is developed from the map editor, this guy is truly pushing the boundaries of the map editor
Blizzard owns the rights 2 the name "world of starcraft"
and blizzard had made mention of another MMO coming out and made light hints regarding starcraft before this guy started making the UMS game, blizz did not steal his idea, hence why they had already owned the rights 2 the name...
