This is an obvious, good business practice. I don't see WoW saturating for another 4-5 years.
I can see a "super hardcore raid only" MMO, an economically driven MMO (Eve) a PVP MMO, or a completely different setting (futuristic). Something drastically different, and caters to WoW's biggest demographic. There's no need to make a casual MMO, because they're already making strides towards WoW being for both pros and casuals.

Theres actually a helluva lot of directions an MMO can go in, and Blizzard is one of the best. Excited to see what they'll come up with.
Someone might want to wheel out Captain Obvious here, but are we possibly talking about "World of Starcraft"?
@Captain
I still maintain that it's a Starcraft universe spin off.
However, Blizzard has officially said "it's a new IP" like a hundred times. I don't believe them ;D

...Blizzard intends to “create a game experience that is unlike anything that has ever been done before,”...
"I need 8 hydralisk mandibles! Go!"

I'm pretty sure I've read somewhere that Blizzard isn't even worried about losing WoW players to SC2 or D3 because, after all, you're giving your money to the same people. =P
World of Starcraft would be amusing, though I still wouldn't shell out money a month to play it.

I have a loose idea of what they might be making. I think it is going to be more than just an MMO, like the MMOs we've seen in the past. I think they are going to push the levels of social interaction, immersion. I don't think it will entirely feel seperate from their other products, especially through Battle.net .
The only way Blizzard can reasonable say that creating a new top tier MMO won't draw users away from WoW is if their research shows most people will forget to unsubscribe from WoW when they move to this new game.
Its only a matter of time before a new MMO overtakes WoW and Blizzard knows this, they are just waiting for the right time to step up and be that new MMO.
Sure people like their friends and being the highest levels in WoW but that is nothing compared to the excitement of being the first to be a high level in a new game. The only reason other games don't draw users is because people don't trust them not to suck. I don't think Guilds will be as static as they were back in the Everquest days.

Exclusive!
It's going to be a Three Vikings MMO! Team based platformer like you've never seen! Also, they're going to make a Rock and Roll Racing MMO, fuck yeah.

If it is not free to play they should at lest offer a discounted price to people who play it as well as WOW. That would be intense if I do say so myself. (NOTE: I DO say so myself if you were wondering).
I bet they will do some offer for double subscription on WoW and the new mmo. Like Mythic did with Daoc and Warhammer. But Blizzard probably will offer in-game rewards as well.
Anyway, i do prefer paid MMOs, never found a good f2p MMO except Diablo II if you consider it an MMO. If it's going to be a f2p which i doubt they will abuse the micropayment system and that will stop lots of people from playing it.
Btw, there's a fan-site of sorts for this game, check Blizzard's new mmo wiki, it has all the info floating the web summed up.
