Watch it be a mobile game

Ohhhhh YOU!

You should be ashamed of yourself for that. You are now sentenced to an eternity listening to Tyreal babble.

if any mmo could give wow a run for its money I think a diablo mmo if done right would. They have a huge history for years and a large fan base already.

TerminalDeity

Dear God let it be a Diablo MMO. That's the only thing that can bring me back to the MMO world at this point. Hate on Blizzard all you like, but they make solid games.

Depends how far into the mmo mixture they go... imo Devilian shown how badly mixing mmo with arpg can go if you go for far too much standard mmo. 

Only 4 end game dungeons that NEVER changed for 1 GEAR SET between ALL CLASSES with super low drop chance really killed the arpg feel. Also in a arpg when you get a quest to kill 'the big bad guy'... you kill all his minions/elites on the way... not this one, standard mmo trash means nothing run past it all.

Let a few more ARPG-MMOs come out like Linage Eternal and see how they play out and if successful im sure Blizzard will do what they already do well... copy and polish the best parts.

If anyone can catch that WoW lightning in a bottle again, it would be Blizzard if they turned Diablo into an MMO.  However, I really hope they don't do that. 

It's funny how everyone gets mad at some online games calling themselves MMOs for (insert reason here), but at the same breath want every IP to become an MMO.

LOL that lightning in a bottle was called 20 million new online gamer's via DSL,nothing to do with the game itself as all of those gamer's never knew a thing about WOW or mmorpg's.
No game ever ,moving here forward will ever have the timing that Wow had to get a load of players,especially since there were a handful of mmorpgs now there are hundreds maybe a thousand.

Besides Blizzard wouldn't cut the throat of their own cash cow,no way no how.Also fact is Blizzard is not making Triple A games anymore,cheap low budget games is their new gig,well always been their gig aside from Wow.
This is going to be like Hearthstone or OW a very fast game,something they can whip together in a year max.

I am betting on the second expansion for D3.. The positions they are hiring for do not fit a mobile game and I dont think they would do an MMO or D4 at this point in time.

Warlyx

new expansion... + Druid !

goozmania

A Diablo MMO would just be... Diablo... Why do we need a "MMO" one? My assumption is it's the long awaited second expansion.

Boot_leg

No pvp, 4 players to a game, and items can't be traded.  No game list just auto pairing.  Cookie cutter builds based on item sets.  No charms for inventory, or runewords.

Seelinnikoi

It's for the next expansion, insider told me.

Soki123

I ll take another D3 x pac as well. If so , really looking for ward to it.

Tintagil

Another expansion would be great. I really love the direction D3 has taken since Reaper of Souls.

Wish we all had insiders like you do.

Braindome

David Brevik recently left Marvel Heroes. 

Purutzil

Likely the Diablo expansion... or some Mobile game based off Diablo 3. I'll lean towards a Expansion.

MrMelGibson

Expansion or MMO it's still a win for fans.

Gaming.Rocks2

I'd be very happy if they made it like Souls series or Elder Scroll series, Diablo IP works great in those settings. 

Ceryshen

I don't think blizzard is going to make a new mmo to compete with their current mmo.

They should be asking the Unreal community,the best mappers in the business and i am talking normal people not just employees of Epic games.

Mappers in the unreal community for past 17 years have been critiquing maps based on lighting and all aspects of quality design.I have NEVER seen such type quality in a bLizzard product,so it baffles me they should use such reference and expectations.

This is either them expecting a triple A mapper at a budget wage or they are serious about making a real Triple A game with triple A technology,something their entire portfolio is lacking.

People often think i am just some Blizzard hater,i call a spade a spade when i see it and i give credit when it is due.If Blizzard can finally deliver a Triple A product with their enormous budget and overhead,then i will be quick to congrats them and acknowledge such.

i do not really care for blizzard games and Ive worked as a 2d story board artist , I do not really understand your comment here. Blizzard has released plenty of top quality games over the years even before the studio was huge. Warcraft started the many RTS games on the market as did starcraft and wow while a disaster at release quickly righted the ship and fixed all the long standing issues. Blizzard while I do not like there games all that much anymore are hands down one of the very best gaming companies out there. While shallow for some of us they do quality work they just try to do the smart thing and design their games to be performance friendly to get the most out of their sales for their games and artstyles.
