Reputation: 14Ah.. but considering the average development time for these games, either way it would still be years down the line, even if they started pre-production already.
Not to mention with Blizzard moving into their larger and newer HQ, they have been hiring more dev teams for other project, which means more games in development.
Only when they've finished milking WoW will they make another mmo.
Why?
Because most companies do it. It's a good way to get money and not spend money on development costs. You may as well get the most money you can do out of an mmorpg before you replace it.
Square-Enix are only going to release this new unnamed mmorpg when FFXI dies (Or so an interview told me...). For the same reason.
Reputation: 10According to some comments made by developers in early beta and post launch the game will NOT come out with a complete sequel, instead the game will update for "eternity". This also includes complete graphical revamps whenever they find it necessary to do so (like when a large number of gamers have higher end PCs.) I would GUESS they would also advance the story in time, but that is just a thought.

i believe their not gonna release Diablo 3 before the end of WoW age and i want Diablo 3 soooo bad
Expect over 10,000 expansions, though..
hahah ... WOW2. Well I personally do not like WoW. I played it for awhile. But could not get into it.
But they are gonna milk it like crazy that is to be expected by any gaming franchise that does very well. Look at EA Games they milk the crap out of all the games they do and just aswell do very well at it. But I would not even expect the thought of a WoW2 for another 4-5 expansions from the original WoW. Might turn out to be like EQ was. They had so many expansions for that game. And like 10 years later they finally released EQ2. But I am just speculating so who knows.
That interviewer is seriously an idiot. No developer in the right mind would go and make a sequel to a game that is still being very actively developed with 9 million players. And really, for what purpose would they develop an ENTIRELY new game when their current already reaches their expectations just to have a playerbase of 9 million have to start from the beginning in this new game and bring in just an equal of a profit as WoW does now. Seriously it's the stupidest question I've ever heard @_@
I don't really have a problem with WoW being "infinite" as long as it gets a graphical revamp. It seriously needs it, even from someone who can appreciate stylized graphics.
I'd love it if they could incorporate more customization into the designing of characters. It doesn't have to be Perfect World awesome, but seriously, with 9 mill players and counting, you need to have more control over the features immediately noticable from far away, such as stature, height, weight, limb length, as well as more customization around the face for close up interactions and "identity". I doubt the feasability of that though. *sigh*
Oh no, not another thread..
Omg!
thinking about warcraft 4 rts brings shivvers down my spine.
if that was to be released or even confirmed progress.
i would cry.

Thanks you GOD!
Can I get an Amen??!!?!?
A sequel to WoW?Well I don't see why that would be needed.
But IMO WoW needs better graphics![]()
Reputation: 18Nobody would even think of a WoW 2.
Though, if they had some shit like that, it'd be HELLA successful.
Tbf WoW does a good job with regular updates, it doesnt need Sequels.
Every patch is like a damn sequel...They released Zul'Aman in 2.3,it rocks,have not done it yet,but methinks.
Reputation: 14lol someone hates Blizzard. We all know that by making quality games found in the RTS and RPG genre, that Blizzard has become evil. HOW dare they make good games!!!!
pfft lol
I find it ironic that you are playing HGL while saying this, since FSS and EA are doing exactly what you are claiming blizzard to do.
