Knowing Bioware it might be awesome despite them threading on new grounds, if done correctly and they way they said with all the features in it then it might be yet another rival to WoW due to the massive Star Wars fanbase.Treflis

I wonder how much of the fanbase will overlap actually...

Isn't the Warcraft Lore called Warhammer?ZuluEcho14

What about Tolkien or Mythology? Neither Warcraft or Warhammer had that much original stuff

world of starcraft will be blown away by the old republicshakmaster13

Yes, a game that doesn't exist will probably be blown away by one that does.

Well Morhaime (CEO of Blizzard) has said that its not going to be WoW 2 but has not said whether its a new IP or not. He has also stated that it will be something different. He also said that it is only a small group of highly experienced Blizzard employees at this point.

Another interesting tidbit was that Jeffrey Kaplan has made mentions of this next MMO being on the consoles. He said that they have developers from swinging ape studios who know what they are doing on the consoles so we may be seeing some tricks up their sleeves in the coming years.

Obviously, I would love to see something completely new and different, but going to the consoles which has been hinted at would be dissapointing news.

a 2011 game with a system requirement similar to wow (2004).
