In the basis of unprecedented successful achieved by World of Warcraft, Blizzard Entertainment released StarCraft II Beta Testing this year. As the sequel of StarCraft, StarCraft II is developed in the background of three races among Terran, Protoss and Zerg. Through global battle net, it has provided online game mode for players so as to continue resplendence of classical RTS games ---StarCraft Series.

At one time, some players conjectured this game is the signal for Blizzard Entertainment making web game. But after that, there are no more inclinations for Blizzard Entertainment to make web game. Recently, we found a web game, called World of Lordcraft, whose name is almost the same as World of Warcraft by Blizzard. And it seemed that its theme is also similar with Blizzard’s. Even the system of game is almost the combination of Blizzard’s World of Warcraft and Ubisoft’s Heroes of Might and Magic.
