Four years ago I got to work as a temp for the QA department on starcraft 1 ( the person who told me about the job is now a vice president of Blizzard, Frank Gilson)
At that point they had already completed starcraft, but with just two races, the zerg and human. It was decided to try to put the third race in which ended up taking about as long as making the game up to that point it was so complicated.
QA was open 24 hours a day and anyone who wanted to could walk in off the street and get paid to play and fill out forms.
Anyhow, I think it turned out one of the best games ever. It didnt come out perfectly balanced, the new race was still better than the other two. But to that point there wasnt really a game that had three equal but different forces like that it was super cool.
Anyhow, I thought warcraft 3 sucked wouldnt play it more than an hour. I hope starcraft 2 comes out and is something like the orignal.
