They will most likely wait until FFXIV is released so they can get more ideas.

Iv been the one asking about whats blizzards new mmo for awhile now.  Iv read a few articles and chated about it quite  abit.  I was under the impression everyone new that it was going to be a sci fi mmo already??? Thats what Iv been told and have read.  Personally Id like to see another massive themepark game brought out by them with starcraft online being the title.

You could be right.  I saw some internet Youtube video that showed a space station and graphics of a POV entering a planet's atmosphere.  It was "hinted" at being Blizzard's new MMO, but I cannot verify this.

I still think the money is in Fantasy MMO gaming.  Fantasy brings an escape to simpler times, which appeals to many folks living in this fast paced, detail-oriented world.  But Sci-Fi has its followers too.

Any leaks on what it might be?

They have said it will be a brand new intellectual property, so no starcraft online. They have also said it will be revolutionary in design.

Considering my opinion of  Wow. I think their idea of revolutionary game play means completely removing the ilusion of any type of real acheivement or fun. Their next game will be called "Carrot on a Stick Online" You will play a donkey who pulls a water wheel (kinda like the one at the begining of the movie Conan the Barbarian, only with donkeys) round and round to get water up from a well. To motivate you to keep pulling Blizzard will be designing new and better breeds of carrots evey week. Plus they will add a pay service to give your donkey a new look, different colors, spots, longer fetlocks, jaunty little starw hat, etc. Should be massive fun.

Mass Effect Online xD

A question: When talking about it, did they use the term mmoRPG, or did they just go with MMO?

If they revealed or leaked what it might be then it wouldn't be a secret now would it?!?!

Starcraft would make sense considering its still played by millions some 13 years after it came out. However knowing Blizzard they will go a different way.So they can have another franchise they can exploit.

 

Yea, by millions, funny guy.

silly americans....You forgot about asia My god they have a blizzard parade just because of star craft and have had it for years

.

Yes, it's called "1337 d00d". You start at lvl 100 with tier 80 gear, an epic dragon mount, and 10,000 gold. Every mob is a one hit kill and drops nothing but purple items.

*Don't get your spidey underoos in a bunch, it's a joke WoW fans* No idea on the new MMO as of yet here.
