Q. How many people can play this game?
A. Currently, in the PVP arena we are focusing on 3v3 arena gameplay.

Q. Do we have to pay a monthly subscription to continually play this game like World of Warcraft?
A. No, Starcraft Universe will not have a monthly fee. Players just need to purchase their own valid copy of Starcraft 2.

Q. How many custom maps do you plan on making?
A. Currently, We are going to be releasing 3 maps. One map will consist of a PVP arena which will be 100% free for the community to enjoy (even once the map market is released). The other 2 maps will be a boss simulations/trainer map and the other being a PVE World Map.

Q. Will players be able to join in a specific match once it has already started?
A. No, due to the current limitation (which may change with Heart of the Swarm) of Battle.net, players will not be able to join in once a match has started, or be able to re-connect if they are disconnected from a match. Alternatively, players can simply host a new match and invite others to play.

Q. Once I leave a game match, will I be able to use my created character (hero) on another match?
A. Yes, players will be able to create and save characters so that they may choose to progress with it anytime. Like any action RPG, players create, customize and save their own heroes.

A. You may save up to three characters at one time, this cap may or may not be raised as time goes on. We have several character classes and we encourage SCU players to pick and try several of them.

Q. How many created heroes can we play at the same time?
A. Each player playing SCU, can only control one character at a time, but SCU will offer items and abilities which support mercs and pets.

Q. How will there be any character progression?
A. Characters will gain exp from pvp arenas/pve battles; Obtain items, other loot, minerals, allocation-points to increase stat attributes, achievements, and skill points to learn new abilities . These will help players in customizing and boosting their character stats. We will go into greater detail on this system as we get closer to release.

A. Minerals will be gained while progressing through raid instances/ PVP arenas and will be used to purchase items and weapons.

Q.What are allocation points and how will they be used in SCU?

Q. Will there be shops for players to purchase equipment?
A. Yes, several shops will be available in SCU.

Q. Will there be original designs implemented on SCU?
A. Definitely! SCU itself is an original custom map idea made for the Starcraft 2. Some items, weapons, and sounds will be original but heavily inspired by Starcraft lore. If you are a Starcraft 2 player, you will see many similarities found in SCU.

A. We are currently in "Closed Beta Testing", but we plan on releasing "Developer Preview" of the PVP arena before Blizzcon, and most likely releasing PVE portions of the mod after Heart of the Swarm. Page has been viewed 1373 times..
