Warcraft > Warcraft > Diablo > Starcraft > Diablo > Warcraft > Warcraft > Diablo?

There’s a pattern in the time line.

This will be Starcraft 2

This will not be World (or indeed universe) of Starcraft

That doesn’t look like two tracks to me so much as they’re staggering the titles on the timeline so that it isn’t cluttered. I think you’re reading too much into their graphic design here.

Or perhaps I’m just thinking shallowly. At any rate, I don’t see much rhyme or reason to which titles are on top, and which are on bottom.

Oh, I totally know it’s going to change. I am looking forward to the Diablo days. :)

What makes me think this might be something new is that they’ve got the question mark all by its lonesome in the middle of the two tracks. Its isolation suggests to me that perhaps it’s a bit separate, a bit different, from previous titles?

One can only hope. I really have little interest in a StarCraft MMOG.

I think this is just a countdown, and we’ll see the highlights shift to the later titles on a day by day basis. In fact, I just noticed that the main splash image is named “day1.jpg” so it’s definitely a countdown.

Doesn’t mean that it is or isn’t StarCraft, just means that Blizzard wants to rev up the hype. (Not that they need to.)

Can’t wait to see what it turns out to be…
