    The announcement is about a new MMO, so it is a 'World of ...', but with a different name.

    A wild theory: WoW was realeased (relatively) next to Warcraft 3. So could this game be related to Starcraft 2?

    They already said it wouldn't be related to any of their previous titles (i.e. diablo, starcraft, warcraft). They also said they were working on a 007 title so i'm guessing its a 007 mmo.

    Where did they say is not related to diablo or starcraft? From the links it only says not related to WoW, that is not related to Warcraft.

    Wonder if they could top themselves, or make an MMO that stands out from the ever growing crowd... then again I'm betting everyone will jump on it just because it's a Blizzard game.

    It will be something completely new based on the first link," In January, IGN reported that Blizzard (now part of the recently-formed Activision Blizzard) had plans for a new MMO and that it would not be based on WoW or anything too similar to the company's past projects."

    That being said, I REALLY want to see how they will do skill points. Their skill tree has been there since D2 and has only slightly changed. Regardless of the genre that is what I want to see, how much of a stretch they will go with this project!
