Blizzard.com Hinting at Starcraft 2 or World of Starcraft?

Hell, it could even be an announcement that they're picking the Starcraft: Ghost project again.

It's definately possible, though in my eyes it's somewhat unlikely, but that's only my personal opinion.

I doubt they would start all this hype if they were just re-announcing a game they already cancelled. But it's possible.

Well, considering there was a large fanbase for Ghost already started, I wouldn't be shocked if they made it a huge announcement.

I know they've had postings on their site hiring for a next gen MMO, where WoW was not mentioned at all, so they're already working on WoW's successor. I doubt that's what this is for though.

If they're working on WoW's successor already, Blizzard isn't as good at business as I thought.

WoW is still in it's prime. They'd be stupid to let it go now.

Unless they've been working on whatever it is for the past however many years, then their announcement will be an announcement, leaving them two or three years to develop the new game, and for WoW to have a few more years at the top.

If it's WoW's successor I'll be pissed.

WoW can be sustained with patches imo. Don't need xpacs.

I had a hold on starcraft ghost for forever. Then gamestop calls me and says its been cancelled (or was it put on hold indef)

The suspense! (Don't care)

Right, but think about it. A MMO takes multiple years to develop, WoW will already have been past its prime by the time they'd be announcing their next MMO. Next gen would be making a whole new graphics engine and all, this is going to be a serious project.

WoW was in development for a long, long time. If they haven't started working on the next already, I'd say that would be worse business practice.

Competition with themselves isn't as huge a deal as one would think, datacenters can be migrated to their new game as WoW's subscriber base declines, which seems especially smart if they end up losing any real portion of their fanbase to other games before their next one comes out.

I wouldn't expect a new MMO from Blizz for 2-3 years minimum.

Edit: Excuse the minor rambling if it's hard to follow, I typed that between customers at work, so it's hard to keep a line of thought continual like that.
