Pure speculatation here. We don't know excaclty what Blizzards next mmo will be. Some think it's a space mmo/sci-fi while others think it could be a WoW2.
Or perhaps it could be something completely different!
Anyway;
Could this little scene be a hint about it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyTZLMCb-vk (check 0:47-0:51) You see Azeroth aswell as two other planets;)

Doubt it.. Maybe a hint that you could warp between other worlds because the current one is dull and not much hugely new can be added to it. >_>
geez that looks absolutely horrid LOL
Aside from the hate speech I highly doubt that is a hint. That instance is all about the titans www.wowwiki.com/Titan. The titans are the creators of the planets in warcraft and live in space or something like that. So more then likely that scene you are referring too are just holograms of other worlds they forged.
I could see them make a Starcraft MMO based on the models from SC2. It would make sense for them to go in that direction.
Sure would bring out a lot of money, just like WoW, considering the fan base for StarCraft.
You know, I think that's a brilliant find. I completely agree that they're giving us a huge hint.
I had posted before on the general forums about the next "expansion." I personally believe that the next MMO is actually WoW2 for a number of reasons and your find kinda helps me put the pieces together. Of course I could be totally wrong, but I think there are a lot of indicators pointing towards WoW2. I'll list a few here:
1. Blizzard often works in 3's. If you count the original content and the two expansions, then you've hit the 3 mark.
2. Blizzard is running into an issue where the price of entry is too high for new players who want to play with the greater 70-80 population. The task of leveling through all that content is just too daunting. I think WoW2 will let new players start on a level par with veterans.
3. The death of the Lich King will represent the close of the primary storyline in WoW and represents a great point for starting something new.
4. We've explored all or most of the classic continents. I don't know of any other continents in the classic lore, but maybe there are others.?
5. This would work well with the hero class. My theory is that the hero class will basically turn into a prestige class for people who leveled through the original content. WoW2 won't allow new players to create DK's, but they will have they're onw hero class in their 3rd expansion.
6. Achievements from the old content will serve as bragging rights to veterans.
7. Lastly, but perhaps most importantly, Blizz wants to show off all that they've learned in a new expansion that new players can enjoy. If you've played from the beginning then you know how the game has evolved and all the lessons learned.
When I said these things on the official forums people kept replying, "there's no way they're gonna ditch WoW, it makes too much money." They missed my point, but maybe I didn't make it well.
Anyway, I think you've really stumbled on something here.
It could be a hint but you guys forget... Blizz already stated that their new MMOG would be based in a new IP and not in one that Blizzard already made game on.
There goes the neighborhood
I'd like to see the exact quote. I don't recall them saying that it will be a "new IP." But maybe they did. I dunno. Regardless, that doesn't mean that they're not working on WoW2, it just means that their new MMO is a new IP.
Warcraft set in the future perhaps? like Warhammer 40k?
Blizzard? New IP? Impossible. Hell, they're still ripping off bits of Warhammer lore for Warcraft to this day. I am quite confident they will continue the "safe, simplistic, easy money" approach to everything.
Bans a perma, but so are sigs in necro posts.
EAT ME MMORPG.com!
its not a hint at all.
if you venture into black temple you can already see azeroth from outland there wich makes them both planets
the death pf the lick king does close it all up but your forgetting the mealstrom wich stil has a whole lot of naga folk in it. and alot of the world wich sunk beneath the sea, Those planets you saw yes you can probaply go there cauz if im not mistaking there's not just 1 dark portal.
we also still got the emerald dream, and you are forgetting that Deathwing is most likely still alive. (Outland Lady Sinestra said this "Lady Sinestra says: Overlord Mor'ghor, I presume... A pleasure to finally make your acquaintance. I am Lady Sinestra.
Overlord Mor'ghor says: I will not drag this out any further than it needs, Lady Sinestra. You have bent my ear, now tell me what it is that you want from the Dragonmaw.
Lady Sinestra says: You have no doubt heard about Nefarian's failures on Azeroth... While he has fallen, the experiment continues. My master... He continues the work that his progeny began.
Overlord Mor'ghor says: The... The master? He lives?
Lady Sinestra nods.
Lady Sinestra says: You were once a chief lieutenant, Mor'ghor. Your work in Grim Batol is not easily forgotten. Now... We need the eggs that you recovered. The Netherwing eggs. They are, after all, a product of the master. We will pay whatever price that you ask.
Overlord Mor'ghor stammers.
Overlord Mor'ghor says: Ye... Yes, yes... Of course. We need only the crystals and ore from this place. There is... We will need mounts.
Lady Sinestra says: The master will be most pleased with this news. The Black Dragonflight will provide you all that you ask. You will be allowed to ride upon the backs of our drakes as needed. I thank you for your graciousness, Mor'ghor. I must now take my leave. "
presumable he is hiding in Grim Batol wich is still closed.
And Old gods (C'Thun was one) There are some more Old Gods and demi gods from wich some we have beaten and some are rumors.
so WoW content / lore is endless, and they can drag it on for quite some time.
Also Blizz has stated that it would be a new IP, tho this doesnt say much they can lie
titans + lorelol... nuff said
dont be stupid -_-
The Draenai came in a spaceship from another planet didn't they (long time since, and I only tried WoW briefly when Burning Crusade came out but did choose to be a Draenai and enjoyed their background story). And so other planets and space travel is already present in this game.
Blizzard? New IP? Impossible. Hell, they're still ripping off bits of Warhammer lore for Warcraft to this day. I am quite confident they will continue the "safe, simplistic, easy money" approach to everything.
Warhammer's lore is fantasy for tweens, anyway. What's the big deal? So now there are two incredibly similar, simplistic fantasy settings. Zoh noes.
They made a good game, despite the "lore." I know I ignored the lore while playing it. But I still had fun. And I'm sure if they make a StarCraft MMORPG (Or some other setting they've made before) they'll make it a solid, fun MMORPG. (Although I really don't want to try a StarCraft MMORPG)
IP means Intellectual property right? So if they're on a new planet with new lore, new factions, new races, etc...then isn't that "new IP"?
The term "new IP" could be very broadly interpreted.
I don't think so. Besides Starcraft I don't think Blizzard has ever made a science-fiction game and they would be completely new to space sims. I think it will be another fantasy setting. Time will tell.
It will not be WoW2 though. You can't make a successor to an already established MMO if you want to retain players from your first MMO (see the mistake SoE made with EQ2, most players either left or stayed in EQ1).
I really wish they would go ahead and let us know what it's going to be. But, when they make the announcement... what does that do to the current WoW community?
I already know for a fact that they are developing a brand new IP for their next mmorpg. I think they pretty much ran the warcraft universe into the ground atm.
They already said it's not going to be WoW2 and it's not going to be stracraft,warcraft,diablo... though a game that takes place in space is a reasonable guess.
This game is suppose to be bring something new to the table it won't be a wow with different skin according to Blizzard and it's suppose to attract people that are done with wow
World of Warcraft is a proof that MMORPG quality should affect schedule/budget and not the other way around.
Thank you. I dont really understand why people would think or even hope for a WoW sequel or WoW clone. Plus i think blizzard have already said their new MMO won't be making use of a current franchise it will be completely new.
I doubt it's going to be warcraft based. I have a feeling it's going to based on starcraft or something completely new.
PBBG List.
WoW2 will never happen. Blizzard will make more MMOs but they will stay clear of crowding the fantasy genre
Torrential: DAOC (Pendragon)
Awned: World of Warcraft (Lothar)
Torren: Warhammer Online (Praag)
no they didnt
you have a link with that claim?
heres a link that says otherwise
www.wowinsider.com/2008/07/03/world-of-starcraft-could-still-be-the-next-gen-mmo/
Paul Sams, Blizzard's Chief Operating Officer, has an interview with Gamasutra
that indicates no new IPs are coming soon.
EQ2 fan sites
Yes they did.
It has been linked on this forum at least 200 times so far, 10 times by me at least.

"When we announce our next MMORPG it's not going to be another WOW--we're not a company that tends to tread the same ground," he told British film magazine Empire. "It'll be something innovative and new that really brings entertainment to another level." American Blizzard reps delcined to expand on Bassat's comments, although the fact that the company began hiring real-time strategy developers last summer might offer a clue.
not another WOW -- does not mean new IP
