    Hey everyone,

    I was hoping to collect a consensus about the number of people interested in Starcraft II. It looks like it's going to be a big game and I would imagine this community would be interested in pursuing something a little more official.

    Any thoughts?

    Kira

    PS I saw the other SC2 thread, just looking to get something a little more clean and specifically about XoO's involvement.

    I plan on playing this game to death. My enthusiasm shows in the thread I keep updated which you mentioned. I hope many people in XoO get and play this game. We need an RTS division :)

    That is the plan, Comm. Starcraft II is going to be awesomely competitive and team oriented, I think it would fit right in with XoO. Will need some leaderships. *nudge nudge*

    I can't guarantee I'll play it competitively a lot - it looks interesting, but I've never been very good at RTS games. I do want to mod the hell out of it though, so I'll probably buy it the day it comes out.

    Now this is what I like to hear. Maybe we can get good enough to place well in ICCUP. Assuming that they keep it going into SCII.

    I'll definitely practice whenever I can if we can get enough competitive players together.

    Modding as per usual. RTS generally isn't my thing but the engine is interesting.

    I have never played RTS on an intensely competitive level. I would like to though, a nice change from RPGs at least. Comm you think maybe we can get together and talk about this on vent?

    We should definitely have a meeting to discuss this game. I still think it might be a little early because beta isn't even out yet. I'm hoping for November for the beta. But when that starts we should start getting organized for sure.

    A prelim get together would be a good start. I'm also hoping that with a community this size would would get to see a few beta keys.

    Id be willing to share if I got one or if anyone else did. Because I know I can trust Xen Members.
