Will I really have to post this after every other post? Again, i would like to point out that Pardo has already said that the next MMO they make will not be SC. Blizzcon and Leipzig '07
I am going to point out that Developers say a lot of things when the day's long. ^_^ The Blizz people promised the WoW crowd Housing before the first Expansion would be released.....look where that has gone.
I am also going to say again, I am not saying I am a 100% sure. *shrug*
Anyway, looking at the possibilities, I will agree that there's a better chance of the game being something else. But I have to throw a no-go on Diablo...which would make it something from Activision probably. Call of Duty Online anyone? ^^
CCP merged with White Wolf earlier this year and they have the rights to the World of Darkness IP, including anything Vampire related. In fact, CCP is working on a Vampire MMO already.
I'm guessing something to do with Activision as well. Hmm get id involved you got Quake World. Planet Tony Hawk? Activision published the Vampire games... TrueCrime Streets of the World? hahhahahha if you knew how Activision felt about the True Crime games you'd understand how funny that would be.
That's the only good choice out of those 3, and CCP ( EVE ) owns the right to that since they absorbed/merged with White Wolf.

I doubt I would play a Starcraft MMO. It doesn't really seem very interesting to me, I always perfered Warcraft. A Diablo MMO would be more interesting. however...Eh..Haha...I sorta hope it's something entirely different and new!
The story is: the "main dev" of Diablo has quit from Blizzard saying "bye" and make they own Hellgate London MMO game, afther this, the Diablo MMO project was "frozen" for a while and Blizzard need to recruit new devs to make this game.
And yeah... is all about Diablo next gen MMO project like what Hellgate London is now.
This is actually pretty old news, atleast for the world of warcraft enthusiast. It was discovered by the general public at this year's blizzcon that blizzard had development teams working on the current world of warcraft title, the 2nd expansion Wrath of the Lich King, and finally starcraft 2. What was overheard from a conversation taking place between two blizzard devs was that there is a fourth project dubbed "hydross". I read the story from worldofraids.com awhile ago.
Ahh I forgotted aboot World of Darkness. I still think it will be an Activision IP. I'm sure the talks for the game and the merger have been going on for, well years probably. So Activision has Tony Hawk, Guitar Hero, Call of Duty (Treyarch gets to make 5, then Infinity Ward 6, etc even though both are "owned" by Activision), what other intellectual properties? The publish a ton of games but basically make their money from Tony Hawk. Maybe Bee Movie Online? Naw they just publish it, they don't own the rights. Bummer, there goes my Bee movie rumor
As long as it is diablo, and does not mimic the garbage of WoW I will be happy.
There is simply no way it will be Diablo. I talked to several of the Blizzard designers at E-3 Gen Con and other places they all said that when they looked at MMo's Diablo was quickly ruled out because it would require a M rating (unless they watered it down and added lots of suck) and the back-story/lore was just way too undeveloped, also two fantasy based MMO’s would be redundant for Blizzard. And…. The main reason SC Ghost was cancelled was because everyone that saw the vids pined for a SC MMO. Finally Blizzard released WC III then announced WoW, They are working on SC 2 then they will announce WOS.

How would someone actually play a Zerg race. That would be quite interesting to see. Never heard of a rts game being turned into a mmo style of game except for Warhammer 40k mmo just recently. A World of DIablo I think would be much more appealing, it already has the rpg elements there just like the Warcraft series but sadly I don't think it is going to happen. Everyone loves Diablo except for Blizzard it seems which is really disappointing.

Really?? you never heard of a RTS being turned into a MMO style game.....so YOU NEVER HEARD OF WARCRAFT?
And Blizzard dosen't love Diablo because it's creators left many moons ago.

Um.... World of Warcraft?? Warcraft 1 - 3...... You must be awefully isolated Or perhaps very tired...
I hope that this new mmo there making will be a bit more complicated than there WOW, i have been looking for a game that is different and not diluted to the point of severe mediocrity. So far me and a buddy have been playing sotnw because it is simply different than anything out there.

Ooops ? Very tired, it's around 9:30 am here and I am definitely not a mornign person lol Anyway sorry about that but I really hope it is a Diablo mmo. So much more appealing I think. Need more coffee I think

Although I am not saying it will happen, a Zerg race would be easy. Look at Kerrigan. Most likely you wouldn't play as one of the creatures, it would be more of a humanoid hybrid like her. I'm just saying it could be done not that it will.
Your best chance of the three current IP's .. is Diablo.
Starcraft.. just think about it. How in the world could your character advance? I suppose you could have marines, birebats Ghosts... but what else? They'd have to make up more classes that weren't already in the storyline. Same with Protoss.. there's a couple classes that you could have.. but the rest would have to be thrown in just to balance things.. Let's not even talk about zerg. It would be a space MMO.. in a genre that really hasn't produced a single good game. Who wants to make a game when, if anything, it's proven that a space game is near impossible to make correctly. What else is out there? EVE? Haha?
Diablo is the most obvious. Not much lore involved.. did WoW really have much lore? How much did you really learn about in your 1-70 grind in WoW about the world and it's history? I can tell you my experience.. NOTHING. So, lore can be generated or just left out so you can forge your own history. A large class pool is already available and fleshed out. All types of creatures to fight are already made. A lot of bosses are already done. The world is something that would have to be worked on.. but from all of the places we've been so far in the game.. I'm sure it's possible to re-create most of those areas.. it sure would be nice to go back to some of these places from the beginning. It just seems the most logical. Who cares if it's a M rating. Do you think kids won't get there hands on it if it's a really good game? That's ignorant.
Warcraft.. well, anything short of World of Warcraft 2.. and you can pretty much flush it down the toilet.
So, in conclusion.. I think the most likely scenario is a World of Diablo type game. But, my personal opinion is that it will be something non-Blizzard IP related.

I would actually sell my soul for a Starcraft MMO ;p... itll make me upgrade my computer to play it!
Anyone who says it is Starcraft has a screw loose.
Think about it, who in the world wants to play a bug? Yep, only the very adventuresome.
The protoss would find a few, but would still be vastly outnumbered by the humans. You cannot have one sided play in a MMO, it just does not work.
It might be space based, but it will most definitely have a non star craft theme about it.
My vote would be for a Diablo MMO with randomly generated dungeons!
Oh, wait.. that's Dungeon Runners!
