New MMO from Blizzard?

"next-gen MMO"

Sounds pretty intense... World of Starcraft? World of Diablo? Something new?

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

MysticBrolly 99 (6:00:54 PM): the job openings are most likely for the new wow expansion

I could possibly agree.

Worlds of Starcraft would be awesome, and last time I talked to someone at Blizzard about it, she said that they thought about it, but there were a lot of details they'd have to work out for it to be possible, one of them is hiring a lot more employees.  :P
And like a fool I believed myself, and thought I was somebody else...

I don't see a Starcraft MMO game, it just doesn't fit the style I don't think.  ;\

Starcraft 2's gonna suck,... They can't possibly beat Starcraft, the best game ever.

A *good* MMO is going to cost money.
One must ask oneself: "do I will trolling to become a universal law?" And then when one realizes "yes, I do will it to be such," one feels completely justified.

No, a good MMO. As in one that's actually enjoyable and filled with content, actively updated with content, and home to 8 million subscribers. That's the kind of MMORPG I'd pay for.
