Zelda MMO. I would literally kill people for that game. I would much rather see Diablo as the next MMO from Blizzard though, I never got into SC that much and I sucked at it. Im impressed with how often you guys are updating too, nice work! Were you on hiatus or something? Ha. Zelda MMO. I would literally kill people for that game.

World of Diablo? Since when is it known what universe Blizzard is exploiting for their next MMO? As far as I know there's still been zero word on the matter and most news (as well as logic reasoning; a Diablo MMO wouldn't bring in as many new people and would hurt WoW a heck of a lot more) seems to indicate a Starcraft MMO. Ah well, even if it's not a Universe of Starcraft, we'll still have Warhammer 40.000 Online - that's basically the same deal seeing as Starcraft is a derivative of Warhammer 40.000. Also, Morrowind was the predecessor of Oblivion, not the other way around :) Huh? World of Diablo? Since when is it known what universe Blizzard is exploiting for their next MMO?

I would totally play an Elder Scrolls MMO. :D I was always hoping to see an MMO based on Forgotten Realms, or even just Baldur's Gate 3. Damn those games rocked. Too bad NWNs were bit of a disappointment for me. :( I looooved Oblivion! I would totally play an Elder Scrolls MMO. :D

Diablo3.com announced that they're being acquired by Blizzard in the past couple days - I wouldn't mind seeing Diablo become a bit more MMO-like, but there's no way I want to see Diablo become an MMO. Period. I want a good 3D transition, the same feel, and the ability to play locally. Period. Universe of Starcraft could be great - if it becomes an FPS-style MMO, instanced into individual battles. Planetside would be a good example, as would EVE Online - let the players interact with the world (err, universe) of Starcraft, and participate in the battles we played as Starcraft (the RTS). Basically. Again, neglecting EVE Online… shame on you.

I mean it. It is too big of a cash-cow for them not to. :) I still am adamant that at some point in the future (think 10 years from now, a good 5 years after SC2 comes out) they WILL make Universe of Starcraft.

Diablo domains were also being bought by Blizz. I think it's not official, but it will probably be their next. Building a World of Starcraft within the next 5 years would probably capitalize and hurt SC2 because SC fans would only have the time budget to play one. I'm not sure if it will be a World of Diablo, so much as a Diablo with a multiplayer mode that saves your chars stats and has auction houses and a MMORPG feel. I'd imagine it wouldn't be online only play, but I'm not sure; purely speculation on my part, though most people believe a Diablo MMORPG(esque) game will surface soon. And yes, World of Diablo would hurt WoW. But WoW is going to die. mmorpgs only have a life of 3-5 years in the mainstream biz; look at Everquest or FFXI or DAoC for examples of games that yes, still have the hardcore kiddies playing, but have died significantly after their shelf-life expired. I imagine WotLK will be one of the last xpacs with huge playership, and Blizz would do themselves a big benefit to take their reputation and make a new MMORPG within the next five to seven years.

A week of two or three posts is one thing, but a mont straight of like one or two posts a week is bad for our readership.

That said, it also wouldn't work for various reasons, not the least of which is the one you mentioned where Joss Whedon probably wouldn't allow it. Plus, any instance based on "Once More With Feeling" is probably going to from fun to annoying very fast.

This blog was written about games that do not exist, but should. :] EVE is quite successful, aside from the fact that it actually exists.
