Blizzard's next MMO: "not another WoW" |
Ó
During the recently held London launch of The Burning Crusade (which was flooded by undead-looking people, if I might add), Blizzard's VP of development Itzik Ben Bassat issued some statements regarding the company's plans after WoW:BC.Given the HUGE success of WoW (more than 8 million users, baby!), a lot of people are speculating that the company may pattern their next titles after WoW. But during the launch, Bassat hinted that their next MMORPG won't just be a clone of their worldwide hit title.
When asked about this by British magazine Empire, Bassat said,
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. It'll be something innovative and new that really brings entertainment to another level.
And as for the rumored World of Warcraft film, Bassat commented:
Bringing Warcraft to the movies is the next step for us, we want to let people bring World of Warcraft into other aspects of their lives. After all, we're competing for people's entertainment time, whether it's listening to music, watching TV, or going to the cinema.
While none of these don't really reveal a lot about their upcoming title, maybe the fact that the company started hiring real-time strategy developers last summer hints at something, eh? We'll keep you posted!

there just full of geeks who sit alone all day like sad little boys, who will probaly never lose there virginity.Freaks.
hahaha, well i can tell u somthing now, i was just like u, and all my friends, were like that too,hated mmorpgs, but i tried it, well i dont love it, time consuming yes that is true,and yes a lot of people with no life or as u said, never get layed, but when u play it u dont need to be like then, just injoy and play it, when u need to go out and find a chick, just go, u dont have to keep playing it, play it slow, i know alot of people that r married and have sociol life with their friends and still have the time to play it. u should try it,it how u live your life, not how u play your life
its the game that you play not the game that plays you.
