I doubt it will be fantasy. =[ I love fantasy games. I think I might be able to play it now with these new comments. I think by wider appeal they may have meant that it was not your traditional WoW clone MMO.
Also, at Odin, shut the fuck up. Angsty college grad who has a shitty job and a a degree in comp sci because he wanted to make video games much? You don't know anything about video games, especially when compared to someone who helped create the most popular video game of this century/ever.
I was thinking something like Spore (as mentioned above) or the Sims. Something your mom can pick up and play (nothing against your moms ).
But chances are it's "something so cool I don't even know about it".
I really can't think of anything that hasn't been done before, but I'm sure they will.
In terms of art direction and gameplay, I really can't imagine what kind of MMO could have broader appeal than World of Warcraft. I'm very curious now to see what this new game will consist of.
Hope that MMO is free online play =) not like WoW type yo!
i agree, to most ppl a f2p mmorpg with cash shop and other pay features is more appealing than the monthly subscription of wat wow offers
1. more spare time, if u subscribe to wow, for say 2 months, most likely u'd want to make best use of the 2 months by playin nonstop so u squeeze every bit of juice out of the buck u paid for, leading to: parents yellin, reduced schoolwork quality, reduced reallife social
2. 'u may pay' is always better than 'u must pay' :thumbsup:
ps: wat u guys think the next mmorpg will b? i vote on 'World of Starcraft' lmfao

free mmos with cash shops always end up being more expensive then monthly P2P MMOs.
they will always put in crap for you to buy.
not only that they will force you to buy by making top end stuff only available through crafting with items that are only available in cash shops.
making areas accessible with items only available in cash shops and even getting to high ranks dependent on items available in cash shops
and in the end you pay alot more than what you would have paid if the game was monthly
And so Blizzard's downfall begins. Soon they'll be making MMOs like Spore or The Sims, you know games with "broader appeal"
Exactly. IMO, series like Warcraft and Starcraft already have a broad appeal. I can understand Diablo being darker and gritter and therefore having a smaller audience. But geez...

I am cheese. I am loved by all. I go great with everything. Other foods hate me because I take all the glory. Like Nachos..Their just jealous cause no one eats them unless Im there. Shit..I even ruined broccili's rep. Broccili kept talkin shit so I was like. " You know what?, I think I might melt myself on some Broccilli. See how those humans enjoy that green [sexual slur censored] now." Shit...Now,People dont even touch him, unless Im all over that shit! Ahhh..Its not easy, being cheesy.. Peace. Cheese Out.

Yeah, that's why Batman doesn't do well as a movie -- oh wait. Well then what about Spiderman turns to the Darkside, or Superman's Evil Twin, or Anikin Freakin' Vader? Niche market. riiiight.
Maybe what'll really bring in the dollars is if we can sell this game to 5-year olds. For $80/pop. Their parents will buy it for them, I'm sure. All we gotta do is market it as the new improved baby sitter. Oy vey.
There seems to be an utter lack of games for the rather large demographic of over 21, and I don't mean gratuitous sex.

Battle not with monsters lest you become one.
It's the decisions you make when you have no time to make them that define who you are.
But chances are it's "something so cool I don't even know about it".
I really can't think of anything that hasn't been done before, but I'm sure they will.
I really have no idea what they're gonna come up with for a new IP, but I'm sure it'll catch us all by surprise, unless it's Lost Vikings.

Stay awhile, and listen.
It will be fresh. An altogether new franchise.
i can hope they change their mind
I'd prefer a better optimized Cry2 lol.

Spore was one of the most disappointing games ever made...
Sims is okay but wears its welcome out too, unless you're really really into that kind of stuff.
