If youre relying on IGN for gaming info then there is a 99.4% chance its either.....
A. Fanboi editor propaganda or B. Bullshit.
Over at a real gaming site, they just did a thing about this on Rumor Control. Here is the link Read all of it thoughly, then post your belifs.

That is the only reference that doesn't require logins to access so far. The note that do require login access state they will be making a formal publically accessable rebuttle to the misquoting. Friends of BLizzard members can access the current statement.
a- blizzard makes 100 million a month off sub fees.
b- plus they sold each copy of the game, no idea how many they've sold so far for 50 bucks each.
this leads me to believe that vivendi wil make, or perhaps just allow blizzard to go ahead and mmo-atize all their games.
you'd have to be crazy not to.
plus... arent mmo's the natural evolution of rpgs?
i think blizzard wanted to go this way, and now they get to take everything this way.
i think the fact that vivendi is a corporation whose goal is to make.... money... that there's a 99.4% chance world of starcraft and diablo will happen eventually.
plus... they're probably going to be really really good games=) considering blizzards experience in the genre.

Originally posted by slapme7times as someone who played wow in beta and followed the news, blizzard hasnt fulfilled any of it's promises about anything.
thus i doubt it would be possibly to keep the wow servers online if they took any more support away.
likely, people would still pay. even if they went off for months at a time.
Then you should be a "Friend of Blizzard" and able to access the login page listing this misquoting....unless you didn't really beta and only stress tested. Don't expect a news page updating until thier PA crew can make a properly written rebuttle. Professional companies don't work like that.
omg... how dare you confront me with... factual evidence.
blasphemy!
take your college ejukation elsewhere.
still, i think from a financial perspective, it's a sure bet blizzards next game will be an mmo.
really, i do think the success of wow was the reason they didnt implement anything, guess that love is going into world of starcraft, which, i think is a way cooler universe.
ur feelin's on this?
--people who believe in abstinence are unsurprisingly also some of the ugliest most sexually undesired people in the world.--
I would love to see a world of Starcraft or such, but it isn't gonna happen in the near future. Actually I would prefer another online Starcraft that isn't an MMORPG, that market is flooded and I would like a change.
i'ld like to paid nukes with ghosts... and do all of that. and paint nukes. and shoot the plane. plan crashes on face.
from 3rd person... battlefield, but with more players so it's huge
it'd be a pretty massive undertaking, you'd need real time physics systems to recreate sc in the least, and you'd need multiple control schemes if you are to play as the zerg protoss and terran...
hard... to balance =0. in wow, both sides are really the exact same in every way, except for looks.
i suppose thats what i detest most about wow, the sameness, so i guess it's all in my favor anyway.

A good MMO FPS in Starcraft world has potential...
Planetside is a good premise but a decent at best game. Now a good MMO FPS could be real fun. Especially if they focused on small squad groupings of players for goals, like assualt squads etc.
I love (sarcasm) the way blizzard rips off the Warhammer universe anyway they can, first Warcraft and then Starcraft... Starcraft even got the same races as Warhammer 40000 with diferent names... some companies should be sued into oblivion! I wish someone released a good Warhammer 40000 mmo just before a Starcraft mmo was released, so that everybody just saw how much Blizzard likes to rip off other companies...

You're probably the type that believed the WoS articles the 1st April?
still, i think from a financial perspective, it's a sure bet blizzards next game will be an mmo.
No. It's not lucrative for them to create another mmo now. It would cut in their own playerbase, not adding a lot of players to their total playerbase.
really, i do think the success of wow was the reason they didnt implement anything, guess that love is going into world of starcraft, which, i think is a way cooler universe.
They will wait till the playerbase on WoW falls and till they have developed Starcraft 2 to get a larger SC playerbase.

Yeah. No.
We have spaceships. If any other companies decides to put spaceships in their game, they are stealing. It's like the incident with Unreal and Quake 2, where the Unreal devs accused of stealing from them, simply because Quake 2 contained a bald man and a woman with a pony tail.
If you know the whole starcraft history and universe and the whole warcraft history and universe, you would see that they differ ALOT of Warhammers.
I know what you think though:
Terran = Space Marine Tau or eldar = Protoss Tyranid = Zerg
Some of them do look a like. But it's common in Sci-fi. We have the developed human nation with some of them branches of technology. We have the ancient high developed alien race(How many movies, games, books haven't we seen this). And we have the slimy bastards (again, think of all the other worlds we see this in)

Well, don't believe taht IGN misquoted again for their own publicity, just get used to disappointment.
lol...
you call the lame ass sucky updates to wow... focus?
dude... that fool knows nothing, or is lying.
blizzard was supposed to implement hero classes as an update months and months ago.
hero classes, not level 70 w/ expansion purchase.
as someone who played wow in beta and followed the news, blizzard hasnt fulfilled any of it's promises about anything.
thus i doubt it would be possible to keep the wow servers online if they took any more support away.
likely, people would still pay. even if the servers went off for months at a time.
lol... i love how everyone trusts the devs.
they give parents and kiddies a /smile, because it's far easier and reassuring for someone to give you a /smile instead of fix bugs/lag.
--people who believe in abstinence are unsurprisingly also some of the ugliest most sexually undesired people in the world.--
you sound like a crazed fanboi.
'professional compainies dont work that way'
yea... professional companies develop new games to make m ore money, like universe of starcraft, rather than fix older games like wow.
i love my professional corporation!
--people who believe in abstinence are unsurprisingly also some of the ugliest most sexually undesired people in the world.--
....sigh
goole the misquotes from IGN about:
Zelda GCN, PS3 HD DvD, Virtual Boy Advanced, Bethesda recalling Oblivion...etc etc etc
IGN is infamous for misquoting and misleading for attention.
omg... how dare you confront me with... factual evidence.

that would be ideal, but would blizzard risk that?
i'd really love to see an mmo... that is more 'surprisetacular'
add that to your lexicon
i mean, one where getting new skills gives you more weapons, upgrades etc, but doesnt make you invincible.
a game that requires you to be 'skillin' all the time... rather than just wasting noobs.
for example, a tank should be able to easily kill and infantry unit with a shot no matter what the level or skill difference.
i think you get my point....
i didnt really expect they'd do one, i mean an fps is pretty much a more twitch based game in it'elf, and that might alienate their current wow base.
but then again, it could attract a whole new type of player.... since they've already got wow for older players to stay with.
i suppose being in first person makes squad based combat more necessary, covering each others asses and stuff.
cross my fingers for an fps starcraft

Warcraft 1 was the release of the cancelled Warhammer RTS. There was even a demo edition shipped with copies of White Dwarf on 3.5" floppies.
/sigh

I'd rather they go back to making the good games they used to. I don't want them to waste their time on something stupid like another MMO.
Blizzard confirms the rumors are false.
