Rob Pardo said in one of his interview, that the production of World of WarCraft have been delayed for one year the development of StarCraft 2 in it's early stages.
Rob Pardo:
"One of the reasons that StarCraft II had some delays very early on in development is because a fair amount of the design team went onto World of Warcraft for a year to really help finish the game off."

Prepares for the onslaught of WoW-haters as they unleash their wrath...
I don't remember any sources but that's been said in several interviews a while ago. Even shortly after the announcement if I recall correctly.
hehe... I kinda understand that...but one year!! It would be out by now D:Quote:

I don't see either...but they could delay WoW instead of SC2 :D
That game was obviously a bit further along being that it came out 4-5 years before SC2 did.Quote:

World of Warcraft had a design team? I would of never known.
DAMN YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WoW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WoW is a cash making machine. I think all of that cash helps Blizzard take all the time and resources they need to make SC2 as great as it can be.
Can't we all be one big happy Blizz-family? :p
Nope...Quote:

He said the exact same thing the day of announcement. Welcome to May 19, 2007.
Still, I'd wait an additional year so that World Of WarCraft would be what it is today and provide Blizzard with the funding to make such a massive game.
Blizzard didn't make it faster expecting it to be their next cash cow. They were originally aiming for 100k-500k players (which would be larger than EQ). This is one of the reasons things were so rocky at the beginning.Quote:

So you would want them to delay an almost finished game to work on a game that was in the very very early stages of development? And if they had not delayed SC2 it wouldn't look as great as it does right now, they would have had to pull back on the graphical bells and whistles.Quote:
