One can always hope for a Starcraft MMO, but I believe it will be a new Blizzard universe. There is also a very very VERY small chance of it being based on Diablo.

If it's Starcraft, I want an MMOFPSRPG. Like Sony's Planetside, but with quests, and better.



None.

Woah

They've been recruiting for this for years now (at least 4, that I know of). I hear it'll be unveiled at the next BlizzCon.

Also, it isn't a StarCraft MMO (or any other universe they've previously created, for that matter). They've stated many times that it'll be in a completely new universe.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again - this is where they're going for their new IP.

They already have fantasy, cyberpunk, and gothic. It's either steampunk, utopian future, or nowpunk. Steampunk is obviously best.

Edit: Actually scratch that. Not sure Rage constitutes Steampunk...

I hope it's a lost viking steam-punk mmofpsrpg.

Actually, I think that would be the worst game ever made.

According to our information (obtained, as they say, a source familiar with the matter), the next MMO from Blizzard is in part an FPS. It will take place in a futuristic universe. It changes from clear to the MMORPG World of Warcraft.

In this new MMO, each player has two "lives" his first "life" is a kind of Sims Online, a giant hub with social interaction and the ability to connect to its second life. Which will consist of fighting for subjective.

The original article is in French, hence the bad translation.

They're probably referring to WoW, because they ARE updating it and creating new expansions.

NudeRaider -- EUD actions, specifically. The conditions remained. Today we can even have actions again, but they're all virtualized/whitelisted (not sure on the actual technical implementation) so you can only use them for specific intended purposed, not arbitrary code injections.

NudeRaider -- I mean yes, maps - through EUDs - were theoretically able to do that as well, but that was patched quickly.
