Well they're making a new MMO and they said that its going to be "very different" from wow so I'm guessing that will be a new Intellectual Property

im looking very forward to the next MMO.. i only wish i was done with my CS degree now so i could apply for graphics or server engineer :( well.. anyways i hope they release info on the new mmo soon, i know its in very early stages, but just what kinda game itll be and where its based in would be fine for me. but we know blizzard , they like to show a game the first time when theirs a playable tech demo available.

Well they tried with Starcraft: Ghost and had to pull the plug on it because ofhow badly it was turning out. I doubt that they will risk that kind of investment in such an unsure prospect again unless their profits start to fail by producing the same thing over and over again like they are now.

Actually Blizz has tried quite a few new IPs and they just haven't been up to standard..I think since they know quite a bit about MMOs these days they can take that knowledge and come up with lots of new ideas then base the IP around these ideas...Blizzard has always said that the mechanics inform the universe and the universe informs the mechanics so who knows they may have come up with a really cool IP universe along side a new mechanic

SC: Ghost wasn't a new IP though, it was a FPS in the SC universe right? Funny that both Blizzard and EA canceled such games...

I'm just noting that their experimentation with radically different genres have mostly been failures.

Thats true but WoW was their first MMO and they did very well with it so I'm fairly confident that they could reproduce this kind of success with all they have learned with WoW
