Blizzard has been on a very high ascending trend in the last few years. However, although the hugely popular World of Warcraft MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) has risen to new heights in terms of paying subscribers, 11,5 million, it seems that the company isn't resting on its laurels, as two more franchises in its portfolio, StarCraft and Diablo, are set to receive sequels in the near future.

Although the development philosophy of the company, which is to release a game “when it's done,” is great, in terms of the quality of the finished product, it doesn't offer a lot of details to the fans. It now seems that Blizzard wants to interact more with its community and has recently released a poll on its website in which regular fans can decide how the units that will appear in StarCraft II will look like.

It seems that the first poll will have users decide which type of Dark Templar will appear when you will play with the Protoss alien race in the extremely popular RTS (Real Time Strategy) title. You can choose from two clans of Dark Templars, each with their own behavior and apparel, one from the Lenassa tribe and the other from the Zer'atai one.

“The protoss dark templar has always been one of the StarCraft community's favorite units – now, the community has a chance to participate directly in the dark templar design process for StarCraft II! Over the course of the next month, players will vote to decide which dark templar model will appear in StarCraft II multiplayer matches,” reads the statement made on the official StarCraft II website.

Gamers can cast their vote by visiting this address, but there is a third option, for people who can't make up their mind, in which both tribes will appear in the final build of StarCraft II, spawning randomly when you decide to create a Dark Templar.

All that's left for gamers to do is to choose which unit they want and hope that the first chapter in the StarCraft II trilogy of titles will appear this year.
