Perfect time for a player who has always wanted to play to ask questions

• Is this a valid entry point into StarCraft?

• How different will this remaster be to the current product currently out?

• Are their real-life money aspects to this game, as with the other? How similar, how different etc.

• Will this be an active game? For how long? Will the competitive aspect be as booming as the current Starcraft product?

• How easy would it be for a new player who's always wanted to play to get into this remaster? Would you recommend this, or the current product?

• Will it be as simple as buying the remaster and playing a tutorial, or will I need other expansions, DLCs etc?

I've always been very interested in both Eve Online and Starcraft, though I understand they're entirely different games, what interests me is the economy aspect.

• Will real-life money [for example, I play and play until I get an item, then can sell it or trade it in game for another item/currency that's worth real-life money] have any impact on this game?

Thank you for your time, I know that's a shit ton of questions but I've always been interested in Starcraft and this seems like the perfect place.
