    Crazy thought: I think Diablo is going to have to pick up more MMO-style features in order to keep replayability high. But I don't see it becoming a WoW clone. If anything, I'd imagine a World of Diablo to be much more akin to Guild Wars. That said, I'm not super crazy on the idea of a GW clone. I got bored with GWs way faster than I ever did with WoW. But maybe that's me.


    Just my $0.02.

    They'd have to find a good balance between the stuff they do in WoW, and the stuff that other MMOs do that is good. A Diablo MMO, though, might NTP be the best idea while WoW is still flourishing. WoW might be down in lower numbers, but those numbers are still much higher than every other MMO out there. It would seem silly for Blizzard to basically kill their own game with another MMO. It would probably be more likely that we see a new MMO after WoW is in maintenance mode, like Zwang said.

    I'd love to see a Diablo 4 game or a Diablo 3 expansion even. I really would. I play WoW and I enjoy it a lot. I'm really not a picky gamer. WoW gives me a sense where I always have so much I can do in the game because of the nature of an MMORPG. The biggest reason I would want a Diablo MMO is because of just that. I'd be able to play for months on end and not run out of things to do. The flip side, though, is I'd be worried about them taking the grindy nature of Diablo out. I love the grind in this game. WoW has had very, very few grinds. The only one left in the game is basically one of the reputations. And then there's the other things people think are grinds, but they're really not.

    World of Diablo

    Please pray to our lord and saviour that this is NOT going to happen. Worst possible outcome. There might be a certain amount of people playing and loving these kind of games but Blizzard would lose all of the original playerbase of the Diablo franchise that loved it because of its hack'n'slay capabilities. Also, I think this abomination would only happen if WoW would enter "maintenance-mode" and the MMORPG slot would become available.
    This is an iffy subject because no one wanted WoW either. Warcraft if a strategy game. WoW lost all of the structure of a Warcraft game. To this day, very few games have been able to even approach the level and popularity of WoW.

    If the hack and slash is a problem too, Action MMORPGs are a thing and they're quite popular. It's also worth noting that Diablo is practically dead. No one plays it. No one cares. An MMORPG could be literally the last hope for the entire universe. D3 isn't even half as big as D2 was.

    I chose No Auction House, although there were a lot. I particularly enjoyed no Auction House along with Loot 1.5 because I didn't feel like I had to buy my characters best gear. Also, Diablo II didn't have an Auction House, and I didn't realize how much I enjoyed that no AH until Diablo III had one.
