Blizzard's Next MMO Just A "Shell Of A Game" So Far News
Blizzard's community manager reveals that it's still early days for the studio's next MMO...
By Chris LeytonPosted: 13/05/2009
In a stinging rebuke to a thread on the official World of Warcraft forums entitled 'Blizzard Going The Way of SoE', Blizzard's community manager (under the alias of Zarhym) has revealed that the studio's next MMO is "a shell of a game thus far."
Not entirely surprising given the lengths to which Blizzard strive for gaming perfection, but a minor update nonetheless.
In addition, Zarhym also reconfirmed the fact that the Next MMO will be based on an entirely new IP - but we already knew that didn't we?
What Next?

Normally I'd agree with you. News articles that just regurgitate what a developer thinks of their game (i.e. "it's awesome") aren't particularly informative.
The reason we ran this one is that very little is known about Blizzard's next-gen MMO. The company has said almost nothing about it, plus there are a huge amount of ardent fans out there who want to know every little detail.
We note in the news piece that Sams doesn't "reveal any specific details", although he does hint that the next-gen MMO will be more than merely World of Warcraft 2.

when will games execs stop spouting rubbish about how awesome and unseen their game is surely whatever they create it will still be just a game .Granted wow is an exciting game and has had a great run but no kidding they making somthing new the graphics and gameplay presented in wow will never be enough to hold intrest and there are plaenty of developers trying to compete with the almighty blizzard if im still playing wow then (which i probably wont thanks to star wars old republic) i certainly wont be patronising blizzard for two games you must pay to play

So basically what your saying is... I know big news... That Blizzard has announced that it's going to be big and something no one has ever done before. So basically you have no story but attempted to make one out of some random cryptic comments made by the COO. All he basically said was nothing instead what he successfully did was talk in circles and cause you to post this garbage. Please focus your efforts on finding stories and not simply attempted to rehash hype/garbage.

Team 3, a seperate workforce from the current influx of new MMO staff, have yet to finalise production issues on the single player (third person action) world of warcraft to be released in a couple of years - only then can they turn to starcraft world after release of starcraft2.
