    Right now WoW is a huge craze. And crazes mean money, which in turn means better games for us in the near future. So I wouldn't worry too much about it. They are a solid company, and are always out to please the fans. However Wc3 is an RTS, so I'm not sure what you mean by that. But I have heard the rumor that D3 is being worked on as well as them hiring other people confirms that there are other projects in the works.

    i definitely concur. I think a future "starcraft" title should come before another diablo or warcraft title.

    You mentioned Wc3, which is an RTS game.

    Speaking of Blizzard, I am really hoping that they are planning on making a FPS game.. I really want to see if blizzard can make a more popular game than Quake, CS, or BF2.

    I suppose MMORPGS earn the most amount of money due to subscription monthly cost.... I usually find mmorpgs boring because they involve tons of grinding or questing, which is equally boring.

    I remember something a while back about an FPS based on StarCraft. I don't know if it was actually released, but I thought it was all set to go. This was a ways back though...so I guess it never made it.

    It was called StarCraft: Ghost.

    Starcraft is the only RTS they ever had... and it was ages ago. Persoanlly I don't think that Blizzard has much skill for RTS anymore, but then again all the recent RTS games basically suck. Command and Conquer: Red Alert 2 was the best RTS game of all time, even better then Starcraft IMO.

    Rumors of Starcraft 2 has been out there on the net for quite sometime.
    Also, from what i heard is blizzard sold the rights of starcraft 2 to another company to make (which = sc2 sucks). Because if blizzard dont make it the game will probuly suck.
