they said they would be doing an expansion to wow every year, while they didnt say how long this would go on for, and i doubt they will rack up more than 5 expansions (two so far) i doubt we will see WOWII any time in the near future, Starcraft MMO, and/or a Diablo MMO are more likely, if not already in production.

-Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth.
a starcraft MMO actually sounds fun (depending on wether u can be zerg or not)
Yeah too bad the idea was initially shot down with SC 2 announcement. I'm sure ready for something new. I'm so at a stopping point in wow until expansion which sounds like more of the same anyway. Hellgate was a dissappointment and wow has messed me up for any SP rpg's like Witcher. I'm not to optimistic about future mmo releases like warhammer either.
Perhaps the brand new blizard interviews might be of some clue "we are not even starting to think about making a sequel to wow, we have far to much planned for wow to even think about making a sequel to it"
FP: We're grateful that there's still a lot of support for and interest in StarCraft: Ghost, but we currently have no plans to continue its development on next-generation consoles.
Like you said, the wording here is peculiar. We currently have no plans to continue its development on next generation consoles. This can very well mean that StarCraft: Ghost might be continued on PC, hence Top Secret.
As far as their next-gen mmo is there any reason to think they won't do a full sequel to WoW? I know that would make us scream but I'm so used to being disappointed at the lack of a diablo 3 announcement I'm more inclined to believe in this.
A MMO doesnt necessarelly mean all 3d'sh like a WoW world. It would totally screw up the Diablo3 gameplay if they did. It wouldn't even deserve the name of Diablo then.
Eventho, it could be real great. I've enjoyed WoW for a long time. It eventually got bored simply becouse it goes so slow.
Anyways, just an idea, the could create a MMO in the hack 'n slash style.
Have you seen the latest HnS games? They look quite impressive. And with a world thats so extent and randomly generated its totally possible to make an MMO out of it. Just keep the camera at the right angle, add alot of awesome graphics put alot of 3d effects in it. And voila, it doesnt need to be "WoW 3d" to be cool.

Diablo 1 > 2 > LoD > 3 or an MMO, either would be good.. I've always wondered if they would ever make a Diablo 2 style WoW.. World of Diablo? man it would be kickass. all the quests have instances etc.. everything the same but 3d and more + the sequel.
Warcraft 2 > 3 > FT > WoW > BC > Rise of lich King
SC > BW > SC2
Most blizzard games do have sequels or multiple sequels depending on how good it did.. Back in day Diablo 2 was best game around the World then ShadowBane ( back in the day WoW) came out with monthly subscriptions and Cards like wow, it was during wc3/ft time.. Maybe its the rage?
It's probally going to be D3, or a whole new genre of a game.
If they would use 3d, then they should it make the game look realistic: like your armor shining because of the sunrays and your shadow that moves because of the position of the sun which is changing, also real injuries from battles or something like this if it's possible. I wouldn't be mad if it would be an mmo, but I like the D2 playing-style.
Ofcourse they will, the question only remains in what angle the camera will be. Realistic/cartoony, imo they should go with realistic. It cant just be WoW2 with a diffrent story. But i doubt that they'll use the latest graphic stuff. It'll look cool, but as any other blizzard game, in its own way.

Uhh... next gen MMO... Then Diablo III and Diablo 1 prequel with Warcraft IV not probable.
Not quite.
Right now we have normal MMO's, like WOW or Runescape. A next-gen MMO is probably a lot different. Don't know how, but it's supposed to be next-gen, remember that. That doesn't rule out any possibility.

Next Generation MMO,
Probably it means they'll use the latest graphics, new gameplay new mechanics etc etc. I doubt it'll be anything we've seen before.

That's exactly why I didn't convert to WOW - as Blizzard would have liked me to. The cartoony caricatures trivialised the serious and dark nature of hack and slash. I want to really feel the atmosphere when I go looting and killing in some camp in the Stony Field. I don't want pretty cartoon monsters.

So we've got over the problem of colour in D3. Great. Now let's argue about everything else not yet set in stone and help make this game simply great! Game on.
should have put a link, harder to fake a link, you could have still edited the bottom pic, but i believe you as id been to that page before you posted this.
a Diablo MMO? or rather a MMO set in the Diablo Universe (otherwise known as Sanctuary), sure i could see that happening, d3 as a MMO, well it wouldnt really be D3, i.e the sequel to D2, if it was a different genre than the previous one. i cant think of a single example where thats happened.
ok you could argue that World of Warcraft is Warcraft IV, (thus proving me wrong) but thats not its title now is it. sure it carries on the story, but it also forms its own story, prehaps a new Diablo game could do the same, part of, but not part of the series.
the diablo universe is pretty geared towards (some form of) MMO, but I dont think Diablo 3 would be one.
but i could be wrong, blizzard could make d3 a MMO if they wanted, and a pay 2 play MMO at that.
as for all the top secret stuff, i assume its probably something to do with a new game;
-Diablo III
-Diablo MMO
-Diablo 1 prequel
-Warcraft IV
-entirely new franchise
uh and i suppose id might as well mention;
-Starcraft II expansion (BLizzard has never released a sequel that didnt have an expansion)
-World or Warcraft third expansion (they did say they were going to do one a year right?)
Well, you can always go through the prominantly displayed URL in the bottom pic.
I am 100% with you dude the closest ive gotten to a WOW game is on a shelf at eb games I cant stand the cartoon graphics in WOW I dunno its just not my style I love the rustic looks of D2 it has more character

I'm pretty sure this is our next Diablo. Why else would they tease us with new Diablo activity? New books, and probably the best was the Tristram theme song at Blizzcon. I'm telling you, Diablo is coming or I will seize to be Carloseus. If we don't get Diablo by next Blizzcon I will quit this forum and SICK and never look back.
Fuck you, I'm a dragon.

I would say so.
I wish that it was:
"We are not even starting to think about making a sequel to WoW, we have far too much planned for Diablo 3."
Before you guys even start ranting on how Diablo 3 is already being made: I KNOW, BUT THAT WOULD GIVE US CONFIRMATION.
It's the decisions you make when you have no time to make them that define who you are.

It can't be WoW or StarCraft since those are at the bottom of the list. And the amount of openings pretty much say that it's a new team.
I tried that last BlizzCon, didn't work out. I came back.
