So, ready to jump on the rumor mill? Because it's churning out big stuff about <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/Blizzard/">Blizzard</a> today. <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/MMORPG/comments/2u4j8n/big_anonymous_blizzard_leak_today_wow_team_has/">An anonymous source from inside the company</a> has apparently claimed that <a href="http://www.wowinsider.com"><em>World of Warcraft</em></a>'s next expansion has quadrupled its art outsourcing and is nearly feature-complete. The source also claimed that <em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/Hearthstone/">Hearthstone</a></em> is doing banner business, with its next expansion set to release in April with a heavier PvE focus.<br />
<br />
Darker news was revealed for the other franchises under the company's banner. The next part of <em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/StarCraft-II/">StarCraft II</a></em> is done but with no release date. <em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/Overwatch/">Overwatch</a></em> is in the midst of debates over business model and payment plans, with the studio pushing for a 2015 release but most likely going for 2016. Meanwhile, <em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/Heroes-of-the-Storm/">Heroes of the Storm</a></em> has low expectations among the upper management and the <em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/Diablo-III/">Diablo III</a></em> team has been "completely gutted." It's up to you you believe the rumors, of course, although come April, <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/MMORPG/comments/2u4j8n/big_anonymous_blizzard_leak_today_wow_team_has/">they might look rather plausible</a>.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2015/01/30/rumor-blizzard-leak-reveals-next-world-of-warcraft-expansion-to/">Rumor: Leak suggests the next WoW expansion is nearly feature-complete</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Fri, 30 Jan 2015 15:00:00 EST.

<em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/starcraft">StarCraft</a> </em>is of immense importance to the world of online gaming. It's one of the franchises responsible for establishing <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/blizzard-entertainment/">Blizzard Entertainment</a> as a titan (<a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2013/08/28/project-titan-a-brief-history-of-a-game-that-doesn-t-exist/">get it!?</a>) of the games industry. It serves, for many, as the ideal example of what an <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/real-time-strategy">RTS game</a> should aspire to be. And it was among the first titles to transcend one-off competitions and contests to become a global <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/esports/">e-sport</a> featuring pros who make the big bucks and events watched by millions.<br />
<br />
Without <em>StarCraft</em>, there would be no <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/dota-2"><em>Dota 2</em></a>, no <em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/league-of-legends/">League of Legends</a></em>, perhaps no <em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/smite">SMITE</a></em> or <em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/infinite-crisis">Infinite Crisis</a></em>. The <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/moba/">MOBA</a> niche, now one of the most profitable areas of online gaming, might not exist if not for the original <em>StarCraft's</em> custom three-lane <a href="http://starcraft.wikia.com/wiki/Aeon_of_Strife_(map)">Aeon of Strife map</a>. <em>StarCraft </em>and its sequel, <em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/starcraft-ii/">StarCraft II</a></em>, represent the quintessential essence of small-scale online warfare.<br />
<br />
As a fan of MOBAs and an ardent lover of clicking things quickly, I took a spin in <em>StarCraft II</em> in an effort to better understand the foundation of the games I enjoy. What I discovered was a difficult, punishing game that demands your full attention and gives you plenty of reasons to keep coming back.<p><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2014/09/21/starcraft-ii-an-mmo-players-perspective/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>StarCraft II: An MMO player's perspective</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2014/09/21/starcraft-ii-an-mmo-players-perspective/">StarCraft II: An MMO player's perspective</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Sun, 21 Sep 2014 16:00:00 EST.

If you really want to check out <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/BlizzCon/">BlizzCon</a> but can't quite manage a flight out to California, a solution is available.  <a href="http://us.battle.net//blizzcon/en/blog/15663730">Virtual tickets are now available</a> from <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/Blizzard/">Blizzard</a> for $39.99, allowing you to watch the panels, the competitions, and the events live from the comfort of your own home.  Sure, you won't get to actually be packed in the convention hall, but this way no one cares whether you're wearing pants or not, so you even come out ahead.<br />
<br />
Purchasing a virtual ticket will give you access to bonus in-game goods for <em><a href="http://www.wowinsider.com">World of Warcraft</a></em>, <em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/Diablo-III/">Diablo III</a></em>, <em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/StarCraft-II/">StarCraft II</a></em>, <em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/Heroes-of-the-Storm/">Heroes of the Storm</a></em>, and <em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/Hearthstone/">Hearthstone</a></em>, although the details are not yet available.  All of the streams are also available in high definition and can be re-watched, so you needn't worry about missing something.

Earlier this month, <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/Blizzard/">Blizzard</a> claimed that a "disproportionate" amount of <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2014/08/05/world-of-warcraft-drops-another-800k-subscribers/">its 800,000</a> lost <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/world-of-warcraft/"><em>World of Warcraft</em></a> subscribers were from the east. While that may be, China is doing quite well with the studio's games.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/223619/Blizzards_Chinese_partner_NetEase_sees_revenue_profits_rise_in_Q2.php">Gamasutra reports</a> that Blizzard's partner in the region, <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/netease">NetEase</a>, posted a "modest rise" in both profit and revenue during the second quarter. The company reported revenue of $376.6M, a rise of 13% from last year. This financial summary includes NetEase's own titles along with<em> World of Warcraft, StarCraft II</em>, and <em>Hearthstone</em>. <em>Hearthstone </em>was singled out as a "strong earner" due to its recent launch in the region.<br />
<br />
Both Blizzard and NetEase are working to bring <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/Diablo-III/"><em>Diablo III</em></a> and <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/Heroes-of-the-Storm/"><em>Heroes of the Storm </em></a>to the country in the future.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2014/08/18/world-of-warcrafts-chinese-partner-sees-increase-in-profit-and/">World of Warcraft's Chinese partner sees increase in profit and revenue</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Mon, 18 Aug 2014 16:00:00 EST.

With yesterday's announcement of <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/world-of-warcraft"><em>World of Warcraft:</em></a> <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/Warlords-of-Draenor/"><em>Warlords of Draenor's</em></a> <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2014/08/14/world-of-warcraft-warlords-of-draenor-releasing-november-13th/">launch date</a> fresh on fans' minds, <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/blizzard">Blizzard</a> has followed up on the hype with details concerning <a href="http://us.battle.net//wow/en/blog/15225287">the contents of the expansion's collector's edition</a>.<br />
<br />
The CE, which is priced <a href="http://www.amazon.com/World-Warcraft-Warlords-Draenor-Collectors-Edition/dp/B00MP4UBZS/ref=sr_tr_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1408129059&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=warlords+of+draenor">at $89.99 on Amazon</a>, includes the full game, a behind-the-scenes DVD/Blu-ray set, the soundtrack, a 160-page art book, and a mouse pad.  Of course, if digital goodies are more your style, then you'll be happy to know that you'll get a Dread Raven mount and Dread Hatchling pet for <em>World of Warcraft</em>, two <em>StarCraft II</em> portraits, a pennant for <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/diablo-iii"><em>Diablo III</em></a>, and a custom card back for <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/hearthstone"><em>Hearthstone</em></a>.<br />
<br />

Massively's <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/editor/mike-foster">Mike Foster</a> is still learning the basics of <em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/starcraft-2/">StarCraft II</a></em>. In <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2014/01/20/the-stream-team-noobing-it-up-in-starcraft-ii/">his first <em>StarCraft</em> stream</a>, he had the help of an expert to explain to him what was going wrong and what was going right as he staggered around in <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/blizzard-entertainment/">Blizzard's</a> iconic RTS. This time around, Mike is launching himself into one-on-one matches with live human opponents. Maybe he'll win and maybe he'll lose, but in the end he'll have no one to blame/thank but himself.<br />

After a month that involved a polar vortices and a polar plunge (I'm surprised we didn't end up with polar <em>bears</em>!), I know a number of people who are threatening to carry out bodily harm to a certain weather-forecasting critter if he deigns to suggest that winter will be extended. Spring or the groundhog gets it! That's the cry I hear around these parts. Hopefully it doesn't come to that, but if you have any furry friends show up on your doorstep this week asking for asylum, you just might want to grant it. Invite them in to watch some <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/the-stream-team">Stream Team</a> adventures on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/livestream">Massively TV</a>.

Snow sharks one week, polar vortexes the next: What happened to just raining cats and dogs? The weather is a zoo!<br />
<br />
Maybe you were in a part of the country that didn't turn people into popsicles this past week; if so, count yourself lucky. Many of us couldn't leave our houses and were forced to game furiously to keep warm! Wait... maybe we were actually the lucky ones! Either way, we accepted our lot -- as trying as it was -- and found additional ways to add to our warmth. Did you know that good, hearty belly laughs at the antics of the <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/the-stream-team/">The Stream Team</a> can raise your core temperature? It's true! So if you find yourself needing to stay warm this week, tune into <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/livestream">Massively TV</a> and test it out for yourself.<p><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2014/01/13/the-stream-team-human-popsicles-edition-january-13-19-2014/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>The Stream Team:  Human Popsicles edition, January 13 - 19, 2014</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2014/01/13/the-stream-team-human-popsicles-edition-january-13-19-2014/">The Stream Team:  Human Popsicles edition, January 13 - 19, 2014</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Mon, 13 Jan 2014 09:00:00 EST.

There's no need to wait until Black Friday if you were hoping to get a good deal on <em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/world-of-warcraft">World of Warcraft</a></em> or <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/starcraft-ii/"><em>StarCraft II</em></a>; Blizzard is currently offering both titles and their expansions <a href="https://us.battle.net/shop/en/product/category/digital-games?games=wow%2Cstarcraft">at a deep discount</a>. New players to <em>WoW</em> can grab the base game, with all expansions up until <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/mists-of-pandaria"><em>Mists of Pandaria</em></a>, for only $4.99. To add <em>MoP</em> to the mix, plunk down another $9.99 for the standard edition or $29.99 for the digital deluxe edition (a savings of $30.00 on each). <em>StarCraft II</em> fans can save twenty bucks and scoop up <em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/Wings-of-Liberty/">Wings of Liberty</a></em> for $19.99 and/or <em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/heart-of-the-swarm/">Heart of the Swarm</a></em> for $19.99 or $39.99 (standard and deluxe editions, respectively).<br />
<br />
For those who already have the games but want to get friends involved, there is also an option to gift the purchase. However, to take advantage of the deals you might want to act fast -- there's no guarantee that the sale will last.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2013/11/27/blizzard-offers-deep-discounts-on-world-of-warcraft-starcraft-i/">Blizzard offers deep discounts on World of Warcraft, StarCraft II</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Wed, 27 Nov 2013 11:30:00 EST.

There are a lot of people who would very much like to see an MMO in the <em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/StarCraft/">StarCraft</a></em> universe. <em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/StarCraft-Universe/">StarCraft Universe</a></em> isn't <em>quite</em> the same thing, but it manages to turn <em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/StarCraft-II/">StarCraft II</a></em> into something very close to an MMO. And with just one day left to go on its <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/Kickstarter/">Kickstarter</a> project, <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/747939120/starcraft-universe?ref=category">it has hit its funding goal</a>, ensuring that <em>StarCraft II</em> players can turn the real-time strategy game into a third-person MMO-style game at will.<br />
<br />
So how much does the mod actually contain? Eight classes, vehicle gameplay, customized models, a variety of boss encounters tuned for various difficulties, in-game strategy databases, a fully voiced plotline, and crafting mechanics. There are also single-player and multiplayer components for anyone who wants to experience the game solo, and the entire project can be experienced for free without a need to buy <em>StarCraft II</em>. If you're interested, there's still some time left to <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/747939120/starcraft-universe?ref=category">toss money into the Kickstarter and pick up a few extra rewards</a>.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2013/09/09/starcraft-universe-reaches-its-funding-goal-on-kickstarter/">StarCraft Universe reaches its funding goal on Kickstarter</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Mon, 09 Sep 2013 14:00:00 EST.

Ahh, summer love. With the vacations, the longer days, and the elevated moods brought on by all that additional sunshine, it's no wonder that romantic interludes are known to crop up before and after the vernal equinox. Between the extra time and the good feelings, the summer season is an optimal time for a dalliance or two.<br />
<br />

Remember <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/starcraft-universe/"><em>StarCraft Universe</em></a>, the fan-made mod <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/10/19/starcraft-universe-mmo-mod-testable-through-october-30th/">that turned the RTS into an MMO</a>? The project is still going strong after two years, but its development team is in dire need of funds to push it over the hill and into open beta testing. The solution? <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/747939120/starcraft-universe?ref=category">Kickstarter, of course</a>.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/upheaval-arts">Upheaval Arts</a> hopes to raise $80,000 or more to finish the first act of the game and get it into public testing. Currently there are two races in the game (Terran and Protoss), although with stretch goals the Zerg are a possibility.<br />
<br />
The team has some respectable names attached to the project, including Composer <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/david-orr">David Orr</a> and voice actors <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/danielle-mcrae">Danielle McRae</a> and <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/eric-dieter">Eric Dieter</a>. <em>StarCraft Universe</em> will require Battle.net to play and will be completely free to all.<br />
<br />
If you're concerned about <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/blizzard">Blizzard</a> finally lowering the boom on this mod, well, don't. The team says that it's gotten the studio's approval: "While Blizzard is not directly affiliated with this project's production, we do communicate with them to submit bug reports and make technical requests. They have given their blessing/permission for us to launch this Kickstarter, and they are supporting our efforts by featuring <em>SCU </em>as an arcade highlight."<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2013/08/12/starcraft-universe-appeals-to-kickstarter-audience-for-help/">StarCraft Universe appeals to Kickstarter audience for help</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Mon, 12 Aug 2013 09:30:00 EST.

Ever hit that point in life when sleep just gets in the way of all you want to do? Maybe it's a gaming marathon worthy of the record books or just a late-night raid you absolutely HAVE to be there for (you know if you aren't, your piece will drop and some PUG person will get it!). Or maybe it is an <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/soe-live-2013/">awesome con</a> you're attending. No matter the reason, sleep seems to be the nemesis to our gaming, especially if we have to fit other real life stuff in the equation too.<br />
<br />
So what can we do about it? No, an IV drip of pure caffeine is not the answer. Neither is the old toothpicks-and-tape bit. How about just add more stuff so you are too busy to think about sleeping? There are plenty of <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/the-stream-team">Stream Team</a> adventures on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/livestream">Massively TV</a> to keep you occupied so you don't even thing the "n" word. Now, up and at 'em, and make your plan of attack using the following schedule.<p><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2013/08/12/the-stream-team-sleep-is-for-the-weak-edition-august-12-18/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>The Stream Team:  Sleep is for the weak edition, August 12 - 18, 2013</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2013/08/12/the-stream-team-sleep-is-for-the-weak-edition-august-12-18/">The Stream Team:  Sleep is for the weak edition, August 12 - 18, 2013</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Mon, 12 Aug 2013 09:00:00 EST.

Do you like <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/eSports/">eSports</a>? <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/Blizzard-Entertainment/">Blizzard Entertainment</a> clearly does, as the company has just <a href="http://www.gamespot.com/news/blizzard-purchasing-ignproleague-technology-and-assets-6406588">purchased the technology and assets of IGN Pro League</a>. Several employees came along with the acquisition, including former IPL general manager David Ting. The hard assets will be used to promote various events centering around Blizzard's online games, while the staff members are joining Blizzard's internal eSports teams according to initial reports.<br />
<br />
Needless to say, this marks the end of IPL's competitive gaming coverage, which has in the past included games such as <em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/League-of-Legends/">League of Legends</a></em> and <em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/StarCraft-II/">StarCraft II</a></em>. The brand does not go with these employees or assets, meaning that last weekend's $100,000 <em>Shootmania</em> launch event was the final broadcast for the IPL. It remains to be seen what will be launched from the expanded Blizzard team, but representatives from the company were quite clear in stating that this is <a href="http://www.gamespot.com/news/blizzard-purchasing-ignproleague-technology-and-assets-6406588">a move meant to promote the company's online and eSports presence</a>.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2013/04/08/ign-pro-league-technology-purchased-by-blizzard/">IGN Pro League technology purchased by Blizzard</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Mon, 08 Apr 2013 18:00:00 EST.

This week a sizable chunk of the gaming industry descends on downtown San Francisco for the annual <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/gdc-2013">Game Developers Convention</a>. And yes, Massively will be there cornering every dev that gets in our sights, convincing them all to answer as many of our burning questions as possible before someone finds and rescues them!<br />
<br />
I was even thinking how neat it would be to add these little t&ecirc;te-&agrave;-t&ecirc;tes to the <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/livestream">Massively TV</a> line up. Alas, I was thwarted; something about "evidence." Ah well, there are still plenty of live shows scheduled and a plethora of reruns to fill out your week while waiting on the GDC news.<br />
<br />
If you have any burning questions about your favorite games, add them to the comments below and we'll see how many we can get answers for. And don't miss our two bonus polls at the end.<p><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2013/03/25/the-stream-team-gdc-edition-march-25-31-2013/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>The Stream Team: GDC edition, March 25 - 31, 2013</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2013/03/25/the-stream-team-gdc-edition-march-25-31-2013/">The Stream Team: GDC edition, March 25 - 31, 2013</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Mon, 25 Mar 2013 09:00:00 EST.

It's strange, but every year around this time, someone sneaks into my room and manages to snatch an hour away from me, right from under my nose! Sometimes I stay up extra late trying to catch the thief, but he always eludes me. One of these days I am going to nab the scoundrel who pilfers precious time. I want that hour back; I need all of them I can get.<br />
<br />
But I guess I have to make do now. My hour is probably being sold from the back of some truck in a dark alley to some desperate fellow as we speak anyway. What? You say it is banked, and I'll get it back? Well if it's in a bank, I expect it returned <em>with interest</em>. I want at least a 5% return on that time, compounded daily, when it's returned. That's right -- you take my time to invest, so you better be paying me the dividends! Wouldn't you agree? Weigh in with your opinion on Daylight Saving Time after the break.<br />
<br />
Speaking of investing time, we've got a good place for that right here: <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/livestream">Massively TV</a>!

It's a magical time: Throughout this week there will be sightings of leprechauns, lucky shamrocks will sprout up everywhere, and folks will be chasing rainbows hoping to find a special treasure. It's also the time I can say "blarney" without everyone looking at me askance! Yup, Saint Paddy's is right around the corner, the day that capstones a week when untold masses find their inner-Irish self. Those brave enough to admit they've adopted the traditions of this time can stand up and be counted in the poll at the end.<br />
<br />
Need more to do while awaiting Sunday's revelry and pinch-a-thon? Why not watch a smorgasbord of tomfoolery on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/livestream">Massively TV</a>. You can join your favorite <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/the-stream-team">Stream Team</a> hosts in chat or even in game and be a part the trouble they get themselves into!

It can strike out of nowhere: that random line or twenty from one of the movie greats just rockets out of your mouth. But I'm not talking about some box office smash. Oh no, I'm talking about the truly defining films of our culture -- the cult classics! With their quirkiness, their courage to stretch beyond the boundaries of the industry, and of course those sensationally memorable lines, these films embedded themselves in our psyches and helped shape our social environment.<br />
<br />
Wouldn't it be great to have been at the dawning of these bits of history? Well why not be at the start of a budding cult classic? While there are no guarantees, there's certainly a possibility that one of <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/livestream">Massively TV's</a> shows will rise up and join the hallowed annals of cult status. You never know, so why deny yourself the opportunity and live with regret?<br />
<br />
Check out this week's <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/the-stream-team">Stream Team</a> schedule after the cut and be a part of history in the making, all while enjoying the crazy commentary of your favorites hosts as they show off new betas and old standbys alike. Then vote for your favorite movie to MMO conversion in our poll at the end.<p><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2013/03/04/the-stream-team-cult-fever-edition-march-4-10-2013/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>The Stream Team: Cult fever edition, March 4 - 10, 2013</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2013/03/04/the-stream-team-cult-fever-edition-march-4-10-2013/">The Stream Team: Cult fever edition, March 4 - 10, 2013</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Mon, 04 Mar 2013 09:00:00 EST.

And into the fire! Or water, as the case may be.<br />
<br />
Have you ever had one of those days when every time you finally extricated yourself from one mess, you just landed smack dab in the middle of another, managing to climb out of a water trap only to have your celebration cut short by falling right into a sheer-sided pit? And all after getting lost in foliage on a mountainside? Well, if you ever do have a day like that, hunker down and watch some <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/the-stream-team/">Stream Team</a> adventures on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/livestream">Massively TV</a>.

	It's been quite a while since we heard anything about ambitious <a href="http://www.massively.com/tag/starcraft-ii,starcraft-2"><em>StarCraft II</em></a> mod <em><a href="http://www.massively.com/tag/starcraft-universe">StarCraft Universe</a></em>, which endeavored to turn the real-time-strategy titan into a full-fledged MMO. Well, it turns out that today the creators of the mod have launched the game's single-player prologue, which has been designed to introduce players to the story and teach them how to play.<br />
	<br />
	For those of you wondering why a mod aiming to recreate the MMO experience is launching with only single-player content, the devs state in the YouTube description of the game's trailer that they "need to release this project slowly to ensure all of [the] core systems work properly." So in a way, this could be thought of <em>StarCraft Universe</em>'s open beta where players can play around and help the developers iron out the kinks before the multiplayer content launches. To get a look at this ambitious mod in action, skip on past the cut to check out the game's latest trailer. If you wanna go straight to playing it yourself, though, all you have to do is search for "Universe" in <em>StarCraft II</em>'s arcade.</div><p><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2013/02/18/starcraft-universe-prologue-goes-live-on-battle-net/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>StarCraft Universe prologue goes live on Battle.net</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2013/02/18/starcraft-universe-prologue-goes-live-on-battle-net/">StarCraft Universe prologue goes live on Battle.net</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Mon, 18 Feb 2013 18:00:00 EST.

Will he or won't he? This week, eyes turn towards <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punxsutawney_Phil">Punxsutawney Phil</a>, that celebrated weatherman covered in fur, to learn whether winter is getting kicked out the door or it will stick around with feet propped on the coffee table like a bad houseguest whose welcome has long worn out.<br />
<br />
Our fate lies in the shadow, and only the shadow <em>truly</em> knows! Or does it? Maybe Phil has a little under-the-table agreement going with his shadow and the results are totally precalculated. Perhaps the groundhog and his shadow want only to mess with us, toying with our hopes and emotions. Resist this type of tyrannical manipulation, I say! Resist by ignoring the threat (or promise) of the weather and focus your energies on watching <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/livestream">Massively TV</a>. After all, you can rest assured that <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/the-stream-team/">The Stream Team</a> would never mess with you like that.

Last spring there was <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/05/11/blizzard-renames-blizzard-dota-to-blizzard-all-stars/">a brouhaha</a> over the name <em>DotA</em> that was ultimately settled with <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/Valve/">Valve</a> keeping the four-letter moniker and <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/Blizzard/">Blizzard</a> changing its upcoming MOBA to <em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/Blizzard-All-Stars/">Blizzard All-Stars</a></em>. But after that, the newly rechristened game seemingly fell off the radar. Even the official website only offers the tease "coming soonish." Despite the lack of information, however, the game is still being developed.<br />
<br />
A recent statement by <em>StarCraft II's</em> production director <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/Chris-Sigaty/">Chris Sigaty</a> notes that the studio hasn't forgotten about <em>Blizzard All-Stars</em>, but is focusing on its free-to-play business model. "We're actively working on it," Sigaty said. "That I can confirm. A lot of the stuff that's remaining right now that we need to focus on are the systems necessary to pull off a game with a different business model than <em>StarCraft II</em>."<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2013/01/23/blizzard-all-stars-moba-reappears-on-radar/">Blizzard 'actively working' on All-Stars MOBA</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Wed, 23 Jan 2013 10:30:00 EST.

Change is good. Especially when it's lots of change... like in the $100 bill variety. Of course, I'm talking coinage there, not alterations in life. When life changes too much, it can really throw us for a loop. Though come to think of it, is that such a bad thing? Watching your favorite <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/the-stream-team">Stream Team</a> members doing loopty loops would be pretty dang entertaining!<br />
<br />
A few things in my life have been on the path to change lately -- some abrupt, some gradual. Even here at Massively we've had recent changes (new streamer and cool behind-the-scenes programming goodies FTW!). And <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/livestream">Massively TV</a> is all about change, bringing you new shows to enjoy each week! In that light, I'm willing to accept that the whole change-is-good mantra isn't all bad.<br />
<br />

You went right over the edge at full tilt, like a speeding locomotive with dreams of flying. Oh, you knew it was coming. You knew it was bound to happen, most likely sooner than later. You already envisioned that plunge over the cliff.<br />
<br />
What? No, not <em>that</em> cliff. For shame, trying to bring politics on the hallowed ground of <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/the-stream-team/">The Stream Team</a>. I was talking about your favorite <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/livestream">Massively TV</a> hosts veering off the path and plummeting (at times to their deaths) into the depths below, just as I did it this past week in the Icy Keep! We like to say it is on purpose, but... yeah.<br />
<br />
Have you seen your favorite livestreamers pull a "whoops" or Leeroy Jenkins lately? If not, you'd better join in this week to catch all the new blunders. And you certainly don't want to miss out on the special treats -- an all new Massively livestreamer and a game of pin the quote on the streamer!<p><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2013/01/14/the-stream-team-over-the-cliff-edition-january-14-20-2013/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>The Stream Team: Over the cliff edition, January 14 - 20, 2013</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2013/01/14/the-stream-team-over-the-cliff-edition-january-14-20-2013/">The Stream Team: Over the cliff edition, January 14 - 20, 2013</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Mon, 14 Jan 2013 09:00:00 EST.

It was bound to happen. And we totally understand -- really. We've all been there, so there are no judgments coming from us. Besides, you might have even made it longer this year than last. Perhaps this could be one of those times when we say it's the thought that counts. After all, those pesky resolutions seem made to be broken, don't they?<br />
<br />
I'm actually not doing too badly, relatively speaking. Luckily, some of my resolutions revolve around <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/the-stream-team/">The Stream Team</a>, so I have maintained my record on those. Experience crazy technical glitches? Check! Got that one rolling early on. Watch more <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/livestream">Massively TV</a> each week? Pfft, bring on something hard to do! Oh, here's one -- team up with another livestreamer for two hours of amusing antics? Well, you'll just have to check past the cut to see whether I succeeded at that one. And while you are there, let us know how long your resolutions held out.<p><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2013/01/07/the-stream-team-broken-resolutions-edition-january-7-13-201/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>The Stream Team: Broken resolutions edition, January 7 - 13, 2013</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2013/01/07/the-stream-team-broken-resolutions-edition-january-7-13-201/">The Stream Team: Broken resolutions edition, January 7 - 13, 2013</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Mon, 07 Jan 2013 09:00:00 EST.

It's the final countdown. Do do do do. Do do do do do... Admit it, you were just singing along too, weren't you? That's OK -- I wasn't listening. Or recording. Promise! If your sparkling rendition becomes an overnight sensation on YouTube, it will be purely a coincidence.<br />
<br />
Seriously, how is this year over already? This is it. The clock has nearly finished ticking down on 2012. In fact, before this week is out, we will leave the year behind us. It was a fairly good one, and I will give it a fond farewell. But then it is on to a brand-spanking new year.<br />
<br />
It is at this time that many folks make resolutions to enhance their lives. What better way to enhance life than by adding more <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/the-stream-team/">The Stream Team</a> hilarity? I shall join in this time-honored tradition and commit to immerse myself in as much <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/livestream">Massively TV</a> as possible, starting with all of the great shows this week.

I don't know about you, but I am pretty glad the world didn't end, either by a butterfly flapping its wings or by <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/world-of-warcraft"><em>World of Warcraft</em></a> shutting down (your top two votes!). Despite all the troubles in it, I'm still pretty fond of this place. After all, this is where the MMOs are! And <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/livestream">Massively TV</a>. Of course, there are many other reasons, not the least of which is this very special time of year.<br />
<br />
On that note, <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/the-stream-team/">The Stream Team</a> wishes you all a wonderful holiday season. May your homes and lives be filled with peace, happiness, and lightning-fast internet! Oh, and also the sound of this week's streams...<p><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/12/24/the-stream-team-peace-on-earth-edition-december-24-30-2012/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>The Stream Team: Peace on Earth edition, December 24 - 30, 2012</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/12/24/the-stream-team-peace-on-earth-edition-december-24-30-2012/">The Stream Team: Peace on Earth edition, December 24 - 30, 2012</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Mon, 24 Dec 2012 10:00:00 EST.

It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine! Why? Because we've got <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/the-stream-team">The Stream Team</a> to keep us company in the final week! So even if the world ends on December 21st, there are plenty of wacky Massively antics to keep us entertained. What's on the schedule this time around? Plenty -- see for yourself.<br />
<br />
But wait, if the world is ending, why bother extending the schedule past the fateful date of destruction? Well, it just looked too unbalanced when chopped in half! And besides, if the world ends with a zombie apocalypse, who's to say that we won't enjoy some shows even when we become zombies? Speaking of endings, what is your prediction for the final finale?<p><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/12/17/the-stream-team-end-of-the-world-edition-december-17-23-201/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>The Stream Team: End of the world edition, December 17 - 23, 2012</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/12/17/the-stream-team-end-of-the-world-edition-december-17-23-201/">The Stream Team: End of the world edition, December 17 - 23, 2012</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Mon, 17 Dec 2012 10:00:00 EST.

The lull is over, and now the hustle and bustle of the winter holiday season begins! Regardless of which holiday you celebrate, mid-December is a time to prepare for and enjoy the festivities. For some folks, that means lots of cooking, lots of eating, and lots of family and friends. And for many of us, we add game time in our favorite MMOs on top of all that. We are even masterful at combining any variation of all of the above! That's where <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/livestream">Massively TV</a> comes in handy.<br />
<br />
Join your friends (and possibly family?) on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/the-stream-team">The Stream Team</a> in-game and in chat as you watch and even participate in various adventures across the MMO spectrum. Sandboxes and themeparks, PvP and PvE -- they are all represented. And we have a new streamer joining the ranks! So take a look at what games catch your fancy this week, welcome our new guinea pig... er streamer, and then tell us what your favorite in-game holiday festivals are.<p><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/12/10/the-stream-team-get-your-festival-on-edition-december-10-16-2/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>The Stream Team: Get your festival on edition, December 10 - 16, 2012</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/12/10/the-stream-team-get-your-festival-on-edition-december-10-16-2/">The Stream Team: Get your festival on edition, December 10 - 16, 2012</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Mon, 10 Dec 2012 09:00:00 EST.

	What's worse than a surprise monster troll invasion? <em>Missing</em> watching a surprise monster troll invasion happen to your favorite <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/the-stream-team/">Stream Team</a> host! It may not happen today. It may not happen tomorrow. In fact, you never know when or where or even <em>to</em> <em>whom</em> it might happen, but it just might happen! Heavens to Betsy: It could be that one has already happened.<br />
	<br />
	Don't take chances; don't risk missing such an iconic moment. Be sure to watch <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/livestream">Massively TV</a> this week to catch all of the action, commentary, and surprises that live gaming can bring. And <a href="http://www.twitch.tv/massivelytv/videos">check any missed livestreams</a> from last week. Those trolls could be anywhere! They could even be hiding in the poll at the end of this column...</div><p><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/10/15/the-stream-team-october-15-12-2012/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>The Stream Team: October 15 - 21, 2012</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/10/15/the-stream-team-october-15-12-2012/">The Stream Team: October 15 - 21, 2012</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Mon, 15 Oct 2012 09:00:00 EST.

Awareness. Social, self, spatial -- whatever your flavor of awareness, it's a useful trait. And if livestreamers have got it, great. If not, well then <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/livestream">Massively TV</a> is just that much more amusing! Didn't notice that boss mob standing at your heels? Chuckles ensue. Was that actually a cliff two steps back? A good belly laugh commences. Yes sir, these things and more have transpired while all eyes were watching.<br />
<br />
Don't miss out on the fun! Tune in this week to watch <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/the-stream-team/">The Stream Team</a> members as they brave a variety of worlds, or <a href="http://www.twitch.tv/massivelytv/videos">watch the classic episodes</a> of yester-streams, so you can see for yourself how well the Massively livestreamers exhibit awareness. But what about you readers? How does your awareness measure up? You could test yourself with <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSQJP40PcGI">the basketball clip</a>, or you can keep reading and take Massively's own awareness pop quiz at the end!<p><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/10/08/the-stream-team-october-8-14-2012/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>The Stream Team: October 8 - 14, 2012</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/10/08/the-stream-team-october-8-14-2012/">The Stream Team: October 8 - 14, 2012</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Mon, 08 Oct 2012 09:00:00 EST.

<br />

<a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/05/30/korean-government-raids-blizzard-over-alleged-diablo-iii-wrongdo/">After investigating numerous complaints</a> that <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/Blizzard/">Blizzard</a> wasn't granting refunds to dissatisfied South Korean <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/diablo-iii/"><em>Diablo III</em></a> players, the government there demanded that the studio do so anyway. The South Korean consumer protection law ensures a refund if there's a problem with the product that isn't related to the customer.<br />
<br />
Many South Korean players were angered due to massive server crashes and high latency while playing <em>Diablo III</em>. <a href="http://blogs.wsj.com/korearealtime/2012/06/19/diablo-gamers-1-blizzard-0/">The Wall Street Journal reports</a> that 66% of <em>Diablo III</em> online traffic in Asia comes from the country.<br />
<br />
As for the refund itself, there are a few stipulations. It currently extends to players who haven't reached level 40. If eligible, the customer has to file for a refund between June 25th and July 3rd. Past that date, Blizzard said that it will offer refunds for any players under level 20 within 14 days of their purchasing the game. The studio is also extending an olive branch to upset gamers by handing out 30-day trials to <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/starcraft-ii/"><em>StarCraft II</em></a>.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/06/21/south-korea-forces-blizzard-to-give-diablo-iii-refunds/">South Korea forces Blizzard to give Diablo III refunds</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Thu, 21 Jun 2012 09:00:00 EST.
