New MMO from Blizzard?

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.

Ok? I was responding to the post where RTSes can be MMO's. The idea has been tried and tried again in concept over and over again by Game developers who think they have the latest and greatest idea.s They have all proven to be impractical or near impossible to implement in a way that the game still is fun.

It would be interesting if somebody came up with a way to make a MMRTS work.

My friend from high school was talking about one, I'm pretty sure.  I forget the name of it and how it worked, but if you're interested, I can ask him the name.

The next expansion will most likely include Northrend.  Also, on that image, they show the entire Azeroth Face, not just the two continents and Northrend - The rest (Undermine, etc) is just covered up by clouds.  :)

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...

Did you just quote something totally usless and not add anything to it?

(Kind of like what I did?)

I was restating that I think the next one will include Arthas. He stated just becuase they show it dosent mean they will add it.

And to Blaze. I thought Undermine was the little island off the coast of Tanaris. Also Panderia is the island cluster at the top of Eastern Kingdom.

He put, "I think," in bold.

Undermine is located under the island "Kezan" which is south of the Maelstorm and not shown on the current WoW map.

HOW DO YOU KNOW ALL THIS STUFF?

EDIT -
ZeroX, they said you won't be able to fight Arthas until level 90. They may very well increase the cap double this time, but I'm more sure we'll have to wait for the third expansion before we fight him.

I've read (some of) the Warcraft books, I research Wowwiki, I've watched the behind the scenes of both Warcraft and The Burning Crusade, and finally, I read everything about Warcraft in general.

No, they said you wouldn't fight Arathas as a level 70, you'd be far too weak.

Read the books. Researched WoWwiki. Never watched the behind the scenes. All I know either that the next expansion will include the Naga homeworld at the Maelstorm and we fight Queen Azshara or Northrend with Arthas.

Okay, why do you 'know' this?

[Joe]

The real debate -- what's more deadly, the Maelstrom or Arthas?

[wires]

Arthas sucks.

There is good speculation from people at wowwiki.
