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.

Guild Wars?

I don't know, but back when I played it I loved it. It has fun content and it is updated regularly.

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

I'm just saying it like I heard it.

They already have a third person engine (Ghost) for it... *shrug*
And like a fool I believed myself, and thought I was somebody else...

No. I already said a good MMORPG. That rules out GuildWars.

Blizzard has enough money from WoW to make everything free from now on. :P
I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

If Blizzard makes another MMO, people will probably start switching from WoW to the new MMO. That's lost profit.

I, for one, plan to do this.

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.

Correction: Vivendi is making a lot of money from WoW.  (I heard they aren't doing too well on some of their other sub-companies.. *shrug*)

The new Starcraft I believe is going to be an RTS not MMO. What they should do is make another expansion for WoW in the upcoming months.

--SPOILER---

I think the new one should have to do with Northrend and Arthas. They already introduce it since when you click out of the map from Azeroth and show outland you can see an ice cap at the top of Azeroth.

Just because it's on the map doesn't mean it's the next expansion...

My understanding is that an RTS can be an MMO... just not an MMORPG.

MMO usually is defined as a lot of people playing on one server at once. RTSes are split into games of smaller groups of people.

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.

But it *could* be a persistent world, with everyone playing on the same server at once! It would suck and be stupid, but it could be.
