Users MrStormyZ and Azothan has made tons of warcraft 3 videos and I ask them if it would be alright to post their video work for the news, they accepted and now I present to you their latest release so far!
Blizzard today revealed that “spawning,” a feature from the original StarCraft, has now been adapted for StarCraft II, enabling players who don’t own the game to still play with their friends.
A post on the StarCraft II blog explains that while non-paying players can still access StarCraft II via the limited Starter Edition, spawning has now enabled their game experience to be scaled up to that of a friend in their party. Players at a lower expansion level will be spawned up to access the same features and options of players at the higher expansion level. For instance, while partied with a Heart of the Swarm-level player, a Starter Edition player will be able to access HotS content.
Scars of Conflict is an altered melee set in the Warcraft II era currently being developed by Bloodlust Studios: Linaze, Mr.Goblin and Deolrin, as well as 2D art from NFWar. The project features entirely new techtrees, dozens of new models, naval warfare, new maps and much more!
Currently, the project is on hiatus, due to the absence of both of its 2D artists. However, there are plans to release the first BETA version of Scars of Conflict - as well as a few more surprises! - as soon as we're done with a few art pieces, so stay tuned!

Your task is to pick one of the seals (see the thread) and create a race that responds with the philosophy of the selected seal. The seals hold indirect messages as to what you may focus on, depending on your very personal preferences.
Contestants have to create a game where the main goal must focus on gathering materials, resources, items, and anything the contestant can interpret as 'Farming'.
Ralle's birthday was last month! Wish him a merry Christmas if you feel like it.
This will be the last news batch written by me. I do not know if another Staff member will continue the batches, but should you be interested in writing them, make a thread in Staff Contact about it.
