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?

Guild Wars has 8 million subscribers?

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

Starcraft 2 is being announced at the next Blizz Con.

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*

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

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.

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.

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.
