    Even though blizzard do occasionally change their mind about things they announce, they have most likely already started working on the new MMO and they probably had even before the announcement that it will be based on a new franchise.

    The success of the engine used for starcraft 2 does not mean in any way that the new mmo will be about starcraft, it can be used just as well for any other franchise.

    Yes, this new engine will probably be used, but it will most likely just be a updated version of the one used in sc2, just like wow used the warcraft 3 engine.

    Warhammer, aion, aoc, and the other 'wow killers' failed completely with competing with wow, and expecting TOR or the 40K mmo to stand a chance is just going to lead to dissapointment.

    Nah, it would break tradition to release the MMO before making three of the RTS games. j/k. it would be interesting, but what i'm interetsed in more then anything (SC related) is a SC first person or third person shooter.

    The fact they made a new engine doesn't mean it HAS to be a Starcraft MMO, especially when they said it's going to be a new franchise. I definitely think they didn't put $100,000,000 into an engine just for players fun, but that's a far cray from evidence as Starcraft being the next MMO.

    The new MMO will be Blackthorne, a game from SNES. A year ago, Blizzard re-purchased the copyright information to this one specific game after years. Posting about the possibility of a Blackthorne MMO is a guaranteed way to get your thread deleted almost immediately as opposed to writing about a Starcraft MMO will be allowed to stay up. You are right about the next MMO being futuristic / sci-fi but Starcraft wasn't it. As soon as the announcement comes, I'd like a shot of Jack sent my way.

    Well there's one main reason i don't think there will be a starcraft 2 MMO...

    1. They have stated clearly there will NOT be a starcraft MMO full stop.

    also

    2. They have stated the new MMO will not be like any other mmo, i don't see why they would release what will essentially look like war hammer 40K, or to an extent even the star wars mmo's.

    Nothing is set in stone, Emilie.
    In the past, Blizzard has stated many things will "never" happen. Paid character transfers, customization, race+faction changes, etc. The point is, just because it's not planned doesn't mean it won't happen; if there is a high demand for it, why wouldn't they do it? It's a company, if a company sees that their customers want something ELSE on the menu, they'll put it on the menu. That's how they make money.

    Personally, I don't think the MMO they've been working on is for Starcraft, but I do believe that once the next expansions come out for SC2 (HoTS and LotV), they'll have time to work on the new MMO.

    Of course, we won't see it for 20 years, but it'll be a start.
