WoW Forums -> New MMO from Blizzard in the works

From Drysc, a moderator, posted within the thread on the bottom of page 2:

No, it is an unannounced Next-Gen MMO.

And that doesn't mean an expansion for World of Warcraft either.

This is old news. Blizzard has been hiring for this for a while now...

Ham n Cheese · 12-04-2007, 06:18 PM

World of Blackthorne

Draz · 12-04-2007, 06:38 PM

World of Starcraft

Occido · 12-04-2007, 06:40 PM

World of Diablo?

Hatorade · 12-04-2007, 06:42 PM

My guess its not gonna do anything with diablo or starcraft...They are gonna make some modern/semi future theme. WIth classes that can use magic and technology.

Mist · 12-04-2007, 06:43 PM

9.3 Million Lost Vikings.

Kaosu · 12-04-2007, 06:43 PM

If they were going to do that they might as well do Starcraft. Especially considering how popular it will be for the next DECADE after SC2 comes out.

It would be trivial to adjust and add to the lore of Starcraft to create a Starcraft MMO, and I'd be surprised if they were making a sci-fi MMO that was not Starcraft.

Then again, I know if I was working at Blizzard I'd be sick of repeating the same universes over and over, and wouldn't mind working with some new lore.

I see consoles in this MMO's future.

Khorum · 12-04-2007, 06:59 PM

Depending on how SC:2's storyline plays out we'll know for sure if they're setting the starcraft universe up for a MMOG once that's out. Kinda like how WC3 and TFT basically laid the groundwork for the tenuous peace-treaty between the alliance and the horde.

I'd be all over that World of Ghostcraft shit any day.

Deris · 12-04-2007, 07:00 PM

What would be fucking AMAZING is if they took all the lovely StarCraft:Ghost lessons learned, and translated it to the first successful MMOFPS.

StarCraft: Battlelines.

Make it fucking happen. Zerglings running around getting drop shipped by an Overlord and raping face in melee range would be $$$$.

p.s Blizzard should partner with valve to make this shit happen.

in my dreams anyways.

Khorum · 12-04-2007, 07:06 PM

I predict they'll do a hybrid "free" zerg brood that might be playable. A la the "forsaken" undead in WOW. Maybe it'll be a bunch of infected humans or protoss who were spliced by the zerg into some kind of mutant sentient hydralisk thingie or some shit. That would rock. That's only if SC2 spins off a "rebel" zerg brood that makes it past Kerrigan. If so, I'll be rolling a mutant hydralisk warrior on release.
