This year has been good for the company Blizzard Entertainment. Much has been done, now the company - a large number of plans for the development of its products. Some actions Blizzard Entertainment did not look too good. We are talking about closing Nostalrius Begins fan server, the company has made it off no matter what. Of course, many fans of games from Blizzard did not like it. Nostalrius team was going to put the source code and the database of players in the network to enable the WoW fans continue to work on the project. But then the decision was overturned.

But now there is another game - StarCraft Universe. They created her fans StarCraft II, and StarCraft Universe is now available in beta.

After a while the excitement subsided, and Blizzard has given his blessing to the project, after WINZ changed the name of fashion, and the company was convinced that all this is not intended as a standalone game, but as events to an existing game. Blizzard invited modders in the studio, and he launched on Kickstarter fundraising campaign, which successfully reached the planned mark, and even exceeded it, raking in $ 84 000.

And now the game was released in beta. Release of the final version will be held in August, the developers plan to collect some more money on Indiegogo. At this time the funds are going to support the game and its servers.
