Blizzard's Next Game

[Moral Hazard]

Wow. Everyone and their brother are making a MMORPG these days.

I'm pretty sure Blizzard won't come out with a standard MMORPG, I'm expecting a blend of Diablo and and traditional MMORPGs, meaning you'll see a MMORPG universe, but you'll be able to quest in private dungeons; similar to Diablo. That way they'll be able to go after the Diablo market, which is larger than that of Everquest, UO, or Asheron's call. Of course that may be more a factor of price and not design.

If it is traditional I think it will fail (they'll make money but not as much as Vivendi wants), by 2003 the market will be heavily saturated and Warcraft's setting won't be enough IMO.

I went to the official site last night...and they have a couple ingame screenshots...absolutely amazing.

This is no joke in anyway, the screens show that World of Warcraft will have just....AMAZING graphics.

the link to the official site is here:

in the FAQ (frequently asked questions) at this link, bliz has said that there will be lvling, and there will be characters, and skills like in diablo II and D2: LoD.

so in my oppinion here is what will be World of Warcraft:

Diablo II style of gameplay (meaning lvling, skills, and characters).......

set in the warcraft universe (Warcraft, Warcraft II, Warcraft II: Expansion, Warcraft III)..........

Combined in an amazing graphics' engine and world.
