Blizzard's new game

MMO or RTS, either way I'm excited. It's not often that Blizzard announce new games

I'd really like to see a new IP from them though, all this Starcraft/Warcraft/Diablo stuff is starting to run kind of thin :G

Oh god, this will suck

Would they really announce another MMO? won't that just slice their userbase in half?

LOL SPECULATION.

It's likely, but we won't know for sure until the 17th when they announce it... at the Starcraft torny.

dear god. more of blizzard's mmos will mean less players on the better mmos. too bad really, because there were some kick ass mmos out there that went down because of wow. i despise blizzard.

I'm really hoping to see StarCraft 2, not something like "World of StarCraft" or "Universe of StarCraft"

I agree, I'd rather see a Starcraft 2, mmo rpgs are soul takers.

:\ Bah! Starcraft should stick to the rts genre and not jump to mmorpg. :< I'm too greedy to pay the the monthly fee. :X

Q-F-T

And WoW isn't even a good game, either :roll:

6 million people disagree

8.5 million last count.

What people fail to realise is people don’t play WoW because of bullshit like them being drones (though the franchise certainly helped), but every other MMO out there being catass bollocks until it came around.

There wasn't a shift of the MMO subscribers, the majority of its 8.5 million player base are new casual players. Games like Eve, Vangard, EQ2 or whatever the fuck fail to even dent its player base because they haven't quite understood that hardcore content isn't what gets them subscribers.

People need to stop designing shit games that cater to the elite and wondering why nobody plays them, not bitching that it's spiriting away all the players.

i wonder if they look for environment artists for a new starcraft ...

this might be the mmo that brings me down.........

Fat cheeks here i come!

I'm hoping it's not any *craft crap

If by 6 million you meant 11.5 million to date...then yeah.

I would love to see a new Starcraft RTS rather than Starcraft MMO.

You mapcorians are really big on getting your numbers right eh?

In future I will just say 'large amount'.

Have you ever played WoW? It's mindless. I actually find it hard to believe that there are 8 million subscribers or whatever. The quests were lame, and the whole battlegrounds thing was grossly overrated. Don't even get me started with the rudeness of the playerbase.

One mmo I really did enjoy was EVE Online. Contrary to popular belief this game is both hardcore, or casual. I suppose you'd just have to try it to understand what I mean, but they balance skill training with the gameplay very nicely. Eve's playerbase is growing exponentially as well.

EDIT: Of course, it sucks that I have to pay monthly for it.. I wish there was something like guildwars set in space... I like space.
