Im sure other sites have similar news, just Googled 'Blizzard MMO name leaked"

Name of game supposedly, "Titan"

Presented chart also shows SC2 expansion AND Diablo 3 slated to be released in 2011. Also it appears Diablo 3 is planned to have 2 expans as well (making it a trilogy)

Anyway, I guess we should take this all on a light note, as we know Blizzard releases games when they want to and names are subject to change.

the chart was leaked a while ago (the name of the mmo is real) and its supposed to a FPS MMORPG.
Least I can safely say its a mmo genre I have no interest in

[Jefe]

That's because you're a casual or a nerd that just likes mmos ;x Anyway, I wonder if it's like Borderlands... meh, it's blizzard pass.

[Kaelan?]

That's not the name of the game, it's the codename of the project. SC2 was Hydra, D3 was Medusa, etc. Kept that way so leaks (like, for example, this one) don't reveal anything about the project.

[Eratosthenes]

World of Starcraft, duh.

[Shenrien]

Universe of Starcraft, duh.

ftfy

anyways I'm curious what they have cooking up, and how it will either; be killed by WoW, or kill WoW.

psshhh... I'm just not a big FPS junkie..

That's what I meant to say!

I don't even think a new mmo by Blizzard could kill WoW. I think WoW will die when they want it to. It's been rumored for a long time that wow's lv cap will be 99 or 100. And those 2 xpac's in the chart could fit that model.

[Eanae]

A lot of people are speculating that Blizzard will go with a hardcore friendly MMO to compliment WoW's casualness so the two MMO's will target separate audiences.

[Katlan]

Didn't WoW start out hardcore....? Think wow has alrdy shown that blizzard will change the game model to fit the customers

[Riposte]

Hardcore doesn't really mean anything when not applied to people and thus can mean a dozen different things at once.

Also, I find those rumors to be false hopes. If you want to entertain a large group of people, like even half of WoW's western presence, you have to cater to casual players. Lots of simple content with a lot of superficial rewards, so like WoW or any other MMO. That includes throwing in some relatively "difficult" content for the endgame then nerf it when people get there.

Was talking to a friend about this and I actually doubt that these will be the last xpacs. It maybe the current plan, but blizz is notorious for delaying shit until it's "ready", (hi2u starcraft 2). Of course this applies to those expansions as well, but I'd imagine those will come out closer on schedule than a full mmo.

I wouldn't be surprised if we don't see Titan until 2018-2020.

[ZarakiKujata]

wouldn't that be a next-nextgen mmo then?

I hate to admit it, but the connection between that attitude against FPS and the haters' personality is usually too consistent to ignore. They don't need to get mad just because players will need more than Excel spreadsheets to be at the top. :O
