Pretty interesting stuff, considering it was made via mods on Starcraft 2. One of the comments has the video stuff in their link.

Yup, i still don't understand why Blizzard don't make a Starcraft MMO. I prefer sci-fi settings by FAR. *shrug*

I don't like the sci-fi setting in an MMO personally. Its gotta be fantasy. I wouldn't play a World of Starcraft even if it was great, just wouldn't have the right feel for me.

Earlier this week, a player-made StarCraft II mod called World of
StarCraft and described as a “StarCraft MMO†was featured on a number of
prominent gaming news sites, catching the attention of gamers as well
as our own. With the name so closely resembling that of World of
Warcraft, we wanted to discuss the title of the mod with the developer,
and as part of our routine procedure, we contacted YouTube to request
the video be removed while that discussion took place. We were also
curious about the project and wanted to discuss with the developer what
the mod entailed.
It was never our intention to stop development
on the mod or discourage the community from expressing their creativity
through the StarCraft II editor. As always, we actively encourage
development of custom maps and mods for StarCraft II, as we’ve done with
our strategy games in the past. That's why we release an editor with
our RTS games, and why we feature top player-created content in the
custom game search. It's also why we held a contest to spotlight the
best community-crafted StarCraft II mods at last year's BlizzCon, and
why we’ll continue to improve Battle.net to better showcase
player-created content.
Like many players in the community,
we’re looking forward to seeing the continued development of this mod,
and as part of our ongoing discussion, we've extended an offer to the
developer to visit the Blizzard campus and meet with the StarCraft II
development team. As always, we appreciate all of the efforts of the
talented and enthusiastic mod-making community, and we look forward to
seeing and playing what they create using the StarCraft II editor in the
future.

Well a lot of Youtube videos get yanked every day because someone thinks they need to get paid for it and they're not.

UPDATE: World of Starcraft Cyberspace Poopstorm
« Thread Started Yesterday at 10:22am » [Quote]
I know there's a lot of questions as to what has gone on with it.
A brief history of what happened in case you're not fully aware... I posted that youtube video about a week ago, and after the 4th day it started to go viral. I was periodically checking it to view comments when I noticed the hits were going up at about 10,000 an hour... Once it got up to about 150k views with over 300 supportive comments, Activision pulled it. I was really confused seeing as how there were many other World of Starcraft projects attempted and youtubed, and furthermore confused by the copyright issue. Everything inside of Blizzard's editor is copyrighted material so I thought as long as things were being produced within SC2 it was fair game regardless of title.
Kid logic I suppose.
The Deputy General Council from Blizzard contacted me last night to discuss the details of the "World of Starcraft" project. We talked for a while and apparently some people from Blizz were concerned I was developing the game somehow outside of SC2. Anyways I explained the details of the project to him and made it clear this mod was to be developed within SC2. After that was clear he obviously wanted the name to be changed... I'm trying to work with him to get the name Starcraft Universe (Currently in holding by Mille25) or Starcraft Chronicles. I am fully respectful of Blizzard's Intellectual property, and they DO in fact own a copyright on "World of Starcraft" and have EVERY RIGHT to do what they did. If I want to continue this project I'm at the mercy of Blizzard's good graces since they OWN it all.
Continued...

Seems pretty weird that their beef is over the name of the mod. I mean... it's a mod. It's essentially a downloadable map. Who cares what he calls it?

This is the only reason I can think of for them to have a problem with the name. Has Blizzard submitted copyright paperwork on it?

Haven`t seen anything yet, but Blizzard certainly played with the idea. I think that is safe to be said.
