Earlier this week we reported that a group of modders were using StarCraft II's extensive editing tools to create an impressive World of StarCraft MMO mod. Since then, Activision has pulled out the copyright guns, Blizzard has issued a statement, and job offers have been made. Read on for the details.
Meanwhile, at the mod's forum , Wizen posted "The Deputy General Council from Blizzard contacted me last night to discuss the details of the World of Starcraft project, We talked for a while and apparently some people from Blizz were concerned I was developing the game somehow outside of SC2." He also explained that he's looking to change the name of the mod to either StarCraft Universe or StarCraft Chronicles.
And if the news that the mod still lives wasn't good enough, Wizen has also been contacted by Riot Games - the studio behind League of Legends - with a job offer. Tom Cadwell, Design Director at Riot posted on the League of Legends forum : "When I see a modder with a lot of drive that has done something cool, I tend to contact them. I shot him an email recently asking if he was interested in exploring an opportunity here. As to what comes of that, who knows -- that depends on the mutual fit and his own goals."
