StarCraft II Editor vs World of Warcraft Subscription

StarCraft II Editor is a free tool for creating custom maps and mods for StarCraft II on Windows and macOS. It supports player-made tower defense maps, MOBAs, campaigns and competitive ladder maps. Custom campaigns can load one map after another and can be played through the StarCraft II Arcade. The editor includes Trigger and Data Editors for changing game assets and creating visual effects. In the Data Editor's Easy Mode, collections are grouped and selected fields appear in a customizable table. Galaxy Editor terrain tools support up to 15 cliff layers and shallow- and deep-water pathing. The Trigger Editor provides a GUI for working with data table instances. Mod packaging and script editing are supported, with formats including .SC2Map, .SC2Layout, Galaxy script and XML data. Blizzard's maps and mods guidance covers publishing creations on Battle.net. A Verify Bank trigger function checks whether a bank's signature is intact. The default server storage space for Arcade map creators is 300 MB.

World of Warcraft is an online game in which players take the roles of fantasy heroes exploring Azeroth. A subscription includes access to both World of Warcraft and WoW Classic; an active subscription or non-recurring game time also means WoW Classic does not need a separate purchase. The free trial covers World of Warcraft, but not WoW Classic. Characters above level 20 require a subscription or non-recurring game time, and upgrading also enables guilds, unrestricted in-game chat, and the Auction House. The game runs on Windows and macOS, requires broadband internet, and is installed and launched through the Battle.net desktop app. Subscription options are billed monthly, every three months, every six months, or every 12 months, and each can be canceled online anytime. No prices are listed for these options. Blizzard recommends an authenticator as an added account security measure. The company says it takes steps to protect personal information but cannot guarantee complete security for information it or its vendors handle.
