Generix.. I had no idea there were laws like that. Who patrols these laws? The FBI?

Normally I'd agree, but in such a case of a game where people are making fan sites, it is extremely rare for the company to go after them. They silently encourage it, especially Blizzard.

I mean, they allowed thosuands of sites for their original, such as Starcraft.org for example, and even linked to them on their own site!

It only benefits their company to have dedicated fan sites help promote their company.

Look at the whole market Korea opened up on the Starcraft brand; it only massively helped the SC image, not hinder it.

So, no, I'm not concerned at all.

Now, if I were to buy the domain "Google2.com" or "MSNSupport.com" for example, that's an entirely different story because you're COMPETING against a brand and losing them money.

I'll reinforce this, Kid is a beast.

extentions make these domains xx-high xx in value. the game wont be out for awhile and well... like i said, the extensions kill the value.

Also the names say starcraft, no reference to starcraft 2. there are already established star craft sites right now. the best one you have is only worth low xxx if your lucky and find the right buyer.

Thanks for the advice sir. I've bought and sold many domains in the past for $2,250, $10,000, $14,500, $200,000, but I'll take your word for it.

BTW, as of a few minutes ago I did end up getting Starcraft2.net, and SC2.net will be in my possession in a week

How much do you pay for these domains in the first place? if you dont mind me asking?

A lot

nice one, if you can get something going with those two domains you could easily sell them off right before the game launches and get a nice return. I was reading your blog and you said you were going to keep one to make your own site? have you decided which one yet?

I'm going to be developing SC2.net/Starcraft2.net (first one will probably be a 301 redirect to the latter). And I'll keep starcraftforums.net and later will sell off the rest probably.

btw, i remember you offered a challange on the publisherforums saying you would pay anyone who beat you on starcraft 50$...you feel like getting whooped tonight!?
