    Do you think the Starcraft universe could ever get tied into WoW?

    When I played EverQuest one the expansions actually took place on the Moon of Norrath (basically in space). Do you think this could happen in a game like World of Warcraft, where an expansion takes place on another planet / moon, and you get to interact with Zerg / Protoss, or would this be going way too far?

    I think with the lore similarities between the two I think it will eventually be revealed that the two universes are connected. Something like the Xel'naga and the Titans being related / being the same beings or something along those lines. Though I don't think we'll see Protoss/Zerg in a WoW expansion as such things likely don't exist yet or are long extinct.

    I don't think so. That's like asking if milk could ever get into orange juice. No good would come of it.

    No.

    World of Starcraft? Sure, one day, maybe.

    There's already Tauren Marines in SC and Mini Thor's in WoW.

    I don't think starcraft and wow would mix very well without causing tons of lore problems. But I would be for an expansion on another planets like BC.

    This has been said before, it basically comes down to imagination and if Blizzard would do it.

    Zerg Overlord looks similar to an old god, zerg can be considered different evolution of Quiraji, rest insectoid races while linking Protoss tech with Titans etc etc.

    They can do whatever they want, but they shouldnt.

    Which do you think would be extinct, the Azeroth folks or the Protoss / Zerg? Just curious because I remember when I watched Star Wars even though it seemed futuristic it apparently happened a long time ago. The universe is crazy like that.

    Can you give an example of the Lore problems? I don't doubt you, I'm just curious. Didn't they mention "Earth" in Starcraft 1? I could see that being problematic.

    It was one of Blizzard's April Fools jokes.

    maybe that's what Titan is! :O

    after all, if they release a new mmo they're going to want to wean people off of WoW and onto Titan, if Titan was centered around the overarching "Blizzard Universe" it would include WoW lore, as well as SC lore. The factions would change from Horde/Alliance to Azerothian/something...come to think of it, while I'm sure the horde/alliance could join forces and end the war in order to defeat sargeras and become buddy buddy, I'm not sure if the zerg, protoss, and terrans could do that. Maybe a splinter faction of all 3 join up, Kerrigan's zerg, Raynor's terran, and the next hero character's Protoss, all join up to create their own faction of 3 races (with vast racial differences to make up for only having 3 races, so you could be say a primal zerg if you desired).

    It could be that after defeating Sargeras, the Draenei and Velen have decided to stop fixing the Exodar, and instead build a fleet of Ships, or maybe fix the Exodar and use it as a flagship, to explore worlds outside of Azeroth. Reasoning being, they have no idea if another creature as powerful as Sargeras could ever invade again, so instead of waiting for it to happen, they shall seek those creatures out themselves, as a joined Alliance and Horde known simply as Azerothians. At first they find nothing, perhaps small settlements on primal planets, until one day they meet the splinter faction of Terran/Zerg/Protoss, and any attempts at peace are made impossible when fired upon by the Starcraftians heavy machinery/protoss weaponry, which at the time surpassed that of the majority of the Azerothian fleet.

    No. The stories, tones, backgrounds and settings are vastly different between the two. It would be very stupid and contrived if they turned out to share a universe.

    There's also little voodoo fetish guys from Diablo. And miniature version of Tyrael. And a flying horse named and based after him!

    titans =/= xelnaga.. titans created what whould alter throu old god corruption become humans.
    in sc2, xelnaga is only said to have created zerg and protoss.

    where is the old gods in SC? wiped out? along with all other races of azeroth? and the burning legion? none of it fits into sc2..

    i think you whould have to go throu ridiculus leghts to tie wow and sc lore together.

    Doubt it, but been thinking that if they made an MMO that was able to import characters from their other games that would be amazing... Someone's Blood Elf is now suddenly captain of some spacecraft thing.. hehe (Not including any ability to steal a space goat ship. lol)

    I really hope not.
    The eastereggs are just fun things blizz throws between games.

    lol this.
    High elfs + blood elves + humans = HUmans in SC2 which is why they have the pysonic powers
    night elfs + draenei + ethereials = protos
    bugys= Zerg.

    done! ;3
