Starcraft MMO preview - StarCraftWire The Unofficial Starcraft 2 Forums

While browsing the web I found this entertaining image. It's been put together quite nicely if you ask me

While it is stamped with a Gamespot logo I cannot remember ever seeing it in one of their articles so I have no clue on the actual age of this screenshot.

That was an April Fool's joke from Blizzard a while back. It was either Blizzard that released it or someone else and it was made intentionally as an April Fool's Joke.

Who knows though, maybe we will see a Starcraft MMO down the line after WoW loses some steam.

lol. Notice how they just made the map see-through, and used the tree in the background as the land mass.

Hmm, yes, now I remember

Oh well, it wasn't here yet and it is somewhat related to SC 2 so I will leave it on here. It was a joke by gamespot, but the article no longer exists so thats why I was unable to find it.

My guess is that it was Gamespot.

Extinguished? They have been replaced by the hybrids. Kerrigan is called queen of the Blades/Zerg, but she herself is no zerg.. she is a hybrid aswell

This was definitely an old April Fools joke made by Blizzard.

I actually believe both you AND Shiv to be correct. It was a joke posted at Gamespot, but clearly with the support of Blizzard since I don't see the editors of Gamespot putting something like that together.

World of Starcraft: Okay, so this gag has nothing to do with Blizzard (this was all GameSpot's idea)

Edit: It probably did at least have Blizzard's blessing, though.
