I'm lazy. I'll let them tell me all about it on the 19th. No speculation, no worries involved.

My bet is that they will make Starcraft 2 first followed up, soon after, by Starcraft Galaxies, the MMO.
That would be the most sensible course of action. Expand the fan-base, broaden the IP and lore, then release an MMO to dominate the world, in exactly the same fashion as Warcraft III and WoW.
Starcraft Galaxies would be a license to print money, I would be very suprised if this isn't part of Blizzards plan for the next few years.
Still waiting for your Holy Grail MMORPG? Interesting...
Taking what teasers they've already shown, we can bet this is going to have something to do with Starcraft..being an RPG fan I'd much rather it be an MMO or some kind of lore-building RPG done FF style (deep storyline). If it's another RTS I guess I'll just sit out a bit longer.

And WowWisn't a license to print money? You do realize that WoW is a Billion dollar a year MMOG right? Think about that, over one BILLION a year... Come to think of it, it would take a Blizzard game to beat WoW because no one else can figure out how to beat Blizzard.
Fear not fanbois, we are not trolls, let's take off your tin foil hat and learn what VAPORWARE is:
"Vaporware is a term used to describe a software or hardware product that is announced by a developer well in advance of release, but which then fails to emerge after having well exceeded the period of development time that was initially claimed or would normally be expected for the development cycle of a similar product."
Where the hell do you get a billion dollar a year game from? A very large portion of their playerbase doesnt even pay a monthly fee. Only Americans and Europeans pay the fee. Im not sure about a few of the Asian countries but I know most of them (including China) dont have monthly fees. Blizzard is just payed a percentage by the company running the game there. MAYBE close to a billion dollars before you factor in COSTS and even that is a stretch. Do you have any idea the cost of the hardware they are using? Not to mention the amount they are paying to run those servers, of which there are MANY.
They had a lot of lore/story built up in the warcraft universe, they don't really have that from games with starcraft. I hope they don't release a starcraft rpg/rts, I just didn't get into wc3 as much as I enjoyed wc1/2. WC3 TD, now that was a lot of fun.
Anyway, I voted, surprise us. It would be nice to see a new dimension from blizzard.
SC. I prefer RTS and I think they would be fools if they made a SC mmorpg. But I'm sure it will be good though they cannot fail on that point... it seems.

An actual expansion for WoW that would make it the game they said it would be 5+ years ago?
I'll take that over another "play for 100 hours to get more purple pixels" game any day.
