Activision has issued a cease and desist letter to the developer of the World of StarCraft mod, an online StarCraft 2 MMO mod that combines the lore and gameplay elements of both games. His choice of names may have been his downfall, but the mod maker known only as "Ryan" is hurt and shocked by the legal threats.

"You created a tool that allowed us to do anything with your assets. You encouraged us to use your assets and were eager to see what we might come up with. You had to have seen this coming?" Ryan wrote on his forum. "I know it's hard to trust someone you've never met to piggyback on your own legacy. The brilliance of StarCraft combined with the multiplayer focus of World of Warcraft. You might be a little worried about your lore being butchered or, even more so, worried about a guy with no supervision tainting the name of your company with poor product."
