i don't know how they could pull off a starcraft online... really how would they make it work besides making a fully pvp game...
like a MMORTS
I'll stick with wow
Well, WoW is full PVE with some PVP. It would be only fitting their next one is full PVP, I mean it's not like there already are tournaments in WoW arenas for real cash prizes, oh wait, there are.
Call me a fanboi or whatever, I just think that if Blizzard made a true PVP MMO it would be played until someone makes a holodeck.
Report suggests NetEase working with Blizzard on new MMO
Chinese online games operator NetEase is said to be breaking into the overseas market backed with a huge MMO licence – StarCraft Online.
According to a report on Tradingmarkets.com, NetEase will be operating StarCraft Online, a title developed by World of Warcraft team Blizzard.
Blizzard has not confirmed the existence of any such game, although it has advertised for staff for a new MMO title, currently under wraps at the US developer.
Last May Blizzard revealed a sequel to the popular PC real-time strategy title StarCraft, saying it had been working on the game since 2003.
NetEase operates Fantasy Westward Journey in China, an internally developed MMORPG, which recorded 25 million registered users in April 2005.
According to Tradingmarkets.com NetEase CEO Ding Li has said the company has not signed any contracts, but the company is seeking foreign partners for licensing and co-development deals.

The problem I have with this article is that it's taking 2 similar pieces of information and tieing them together and making some assumptions which may not necessarily be the case.
We all know that Blizzard is working on Starcraft II. According to this report NetEase will be working with Blizzard on an online title which they are calling Starcraft Online. In another sentence they say it's an MMO. Perhaps the game they are calling Starcraft Online is not an MMO, just an online game and perhaps it's actually Starcraft II they are talking about not some game called Starcraft Online especially since Blizzard has not confirmed the existance of any game called Starcraft Online. There's a lot of sketchy information that's suppose to lead us to believe there's an MMO called Starcraft Online in the works, which I don't think is necessarily the only conclusion you can make from this. You could take the 2 pieces of sketchy information and combine them together such that there's only 1 game being talked about here and it's called Starcraft II which we already know is in the works.

Uhm, Warcraft to WoW and Starcraft to WoS is pretty much an indetical transition, Warcraft was a RTS game as well.
