Given the outlandish success of Blizzard's World of Warcraft, there was no doubt that they'd (at some point) create another MMO title. While Blizzard could theoretically release expansion packs for the next 20 years and likely make enough money to buy the Earth, the company's internal gears have been spinning.
"As far was working on another MMO project or a WoW 2, obviously as a company we'd be very interested in further exploring the MMO space", World of Warcraft lead designer Jeffrey Kaplan revealed to CVG.
What?!? Did he say "space"? As in like, a World of Starcraft MMORPG confirmed? Ah, I kid, I kid. While this isn't an official announcement of anything at all, it's nice to know that somewhere down the line, World of Warcraft players will likely be given a reason to put down the pipe and possibly pick up a new addiction.
What Blizzard franchise would you like to see invade the MMORPG space? I'd like to see a Blackthorne MMO, or a Lost Vikings title. Or perhaps -- and this is a wild idea -- a brand new IP? Nah. That's crazy talk.

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!
Hybrid RTS/FPS/MMORPG where you're an individual controlling a unit in huge battles where real objectives/quests can be met (planetary assults, base defense, cleansing the zerg, etc..)
i.e. Planetside + WoW + WWII Online with the suckatude and a shiny coat of Starcraft paint.
@Artadius are you saying I wouldn't be able to be a LVL 80 Mutalisk? Starcraft Universe = Best IP Blizzard owns. Go to wikipedia and read the storyline to the 6 starcraft campaigns.
give me a 360 port in HD and i'll fall in love all over again
How is WoW not for adults?
Or maybe... Warcraft 4? :-o
