Starcraft 2

Lead Engine Programmer..that definitely aint no WoW Expansion.

I think a Diablo MMO is more likely than a SC MMO. Then again, I didn't think a WC MMO was likely. RTS names should stick with RTS play. Blizzard's making a lot of stupid moves, if you ask me.

[Warrior]

Diablo MMORPG would be too much like WoW. WoW took a lot of ideas from Diablo.

Also MMORPGs are Blizzard's biggest cash cow. 9 Million subscribers paying $15/mo don't lie.

This sucks.

Blizz could take over the world a few times with the money they get from WoW xD

Straight from their webpage. If it's Starcraft 2, it ain't an RTS no more.

they did that same shit before for what appeared to be d3

Why are they making another MMO, that will just hurt their WoW profit..

[Warrior]

They're thinking in the future, when they announce this MMORPG it will take them atleast 5 years to develop it. WoW is expected to last 5-10 more years.

Maybe I missed something, but..

• This wasn't specific to a group in the company (i.e. Starcraft, Diablo, Warcraft)
• This specifically said for a next-gen MMO.
• Pure speculation, but this slashdot post is correct. Search uspto.gov for yourself.

yeah, i could see them creating a blackthorn mmo for console systems.

"The group behind Diablo and Diablo II ... working on an un-announced PC project" - makes people think they were working on D3.  You don't have to go nit picking through everything I say

[Newby]

Yeah. But they never specified anything. Whereas with this, they specified at least the genre.

[rabbit]

The group behind Diablo and Diablo II already made a new game.  It's called Guild Wars.

[Warrior]

The Diablo II group forked to many companies. One of them is working on Hellgate London, the other made Guild Wars, and I think some ex SC BW devs are making an RTS as well.
