According to a very tiny article on a site with questionable ethics (which is my way of saying I probably shouldn't link it here), a French website called NoFrag has possibly been the first to leak details about the upcoming and intermittently controversial new MMO IP from MMO giant, Blizzard.
According to the piece I read, the upcoming and as of yet unnamed game will feature first-person shooter style play (FPS), with social interactions similar to that of The Sims Online. The site also mentions that there are still undetailed game mechanics that will also play into the new MMO.
My thoughts; An MMO that isn't about number crunching, statistics, and math, and more about actual skill and play? This is the first tidbit of news about Blizzards new online game that has actually managed to get my attention. As a past WoW veteran, I'm pretty much over the old macro based tomfoolery most MMO games have to offer. Who knows what any of this means if in fact it's true?
Blizzard has stated in the past that the new IP will not be related to anything out right now, so if that statement holds true than World of Starcraft it's not. Which I find even more enticing, and a new universe offers all sorts of new possibilities. Either way, keep your eyes peeled and your ears to the ground, kids, the info's finally a-comin'!
