WoW Lead Designer Begins Work on New MMO

Steam punk would cut into wow since some of wow is already steam punk, engineers come to mind. On the other hand while several companies have done cyberpunk, none of the games did well. MxO, Necron and few others were fun they did not make enough money. So blizzard building a cyberpunk world should be very interesting, but they need to get to at least war's level of detail for it to be immersive. Graphics don't define if a game is fun but the set the mode and feeling. Anything that makes tech feel forced kills the sci-fi feeling. Eve was very low tech at the release but it always felt real. Once you have to get to close to stuff and can change the camera that when things are going to get interesting.

Well it has been said before, but I will throw it out there anyways... I would love to see World(s) of Starcraft. In fact I think that should have made that [Worlds of Starcarft) instead of WOW.

@ Indelible: He said it "is a completely new universe...[not one of] their successful IPs (being intellectual properties." Its not World of Diablo, or World of StarCraft.

The reason that they dont feel it will 'cannibalize' wow is because its being developed for consoles. mark this page.

It was said at BlizzCon in an interview after the opening ceremony that the new MMO will be a new universe.

Nobody has specifically ruled out a StarCraft related MMO have they? So why are we ruling out a StarCraft MMO by default?

Would love to see a Blizz created Cyberpunk, post-apocalyptic, Steampunk MMO or some sort of variation thereof.
