Assuming there is a sequel, of course. But based on Borderlands' strong sales as a new IP and prior comments to come out of both Gearbox Software and Take-Two, it's more a question of "when," not "if" in regards to a follow-up.
Thanks to the ever-vigilant work of superannuation, a trademark filed by Gearbox for "Borderworlds" has been found. With Borderlands being the fine game that it is and only needing a few crucial additions to see its distinct style of play perfected, a sequel sure would be fantastic.
While I'm personally not a huge fan of the name "Borderworlds," I'd be glad to suck it up and deal with the title if it meant getting a sequel to one of my favorite games of this year. Perhaps the more I hear it, the more I'll get used to it? Things tend to work out that way.
We've asked Gearbox for a comment, but I wouldn't hold your breath. It's seems too early for anything substantial to be discussed on the record.

...Nah just kidding, i went 10 bazillion more weapons.
(creepier than it needed to be)
Namely the fact that Gamespy multiplayer is virtually worthless even jumping through all the hoops of port forwarding and router DMZ etc.
I bought the game through steam, not wanting to fiddle with cracks and online that may or may not work. Well, the online was fucked from the get go. I tried tons of fixes, but in the end I had to get 3rd party software that bypassed gamespy's service. That worked for a little, then inexplicably broke. And the best part is that all the people I've talked to at school say the pirated version works much better online. Most of them don't even have to use any 3rd party software. I have the cracked version though, so I'll consider installing that sometime during winter break when I have more time to deal with this kind of shit.
Also, I hope they just focus on the consoles and just drop PC! If they can't get the first one to work just don't even bother with another one for them.
Seriously, a couple million per planet? FFFFFUUUUU
Pure speculation, in case someone thinks I had inside info. I do not.
Eggdog14, I thought the same thing - so much empty space that could be filled with other people. On the other hand, it would probably be very chaotic with a ton of people in one area, driving all over each other and setting off 300 explosions each second. Also, heading in the MMO direction would most likely neuter the story even further, which was one of my main gripes in an otherwise fun game.
