Personally I'd prefer for Blizzard to lay off the MMORPG thing for awhile ;)

If you want to fish all day - the play WoW.

Somehow I don't think life as an SCV collecting minerals all day would be so 
much of an improvement.

Last I heard, they have ideas for Starcraft II - current technology just 
prevents it.  We, the fans are left to speculate on what that means - and I 
suppose the statement itself may be a propeganda tactic.

As for the next natural MMORPG . . . eh . . . not Diablo?   Diablo is 
already halfway there.

It will be a sad day when Blizzard forsakes all stand alone games in favor 
of pure MMORPG. My personal, humble, opinion that is, of course ;)

I am not convinved that MMORPG adds a great deal of playability to a game. 
What it adds is a guarantee that the makers of the game will continue to add 
features, abilities and new quests.  This is assured and funded through the 
subscriptions that the companies charge for whatever reason, which they 
market as the ability to play with and against other players.

Would the game be exactly the same if all PCs were AIs - well no, of course 
not.   My only point is that MMORPG shouldn't be considered the end all of 
every scenario.  It has its place - but I would say, for the most part that 
place is filled.

It's fun to play with friends but I don't really give a crap if I am in the 
same world as someone 900 miles away but in real life and in the game and he 
is doing some stupid thing that I will never know or care about.

Did you hear Disney is returning to hand drawn animation?  It's because the 
3D animation fad is wearing off and people miss the basics.  The same will 
happen.  When games first went to 3D - game makers were more concerned about 
making their games 3D than making sure that they were playable - I remember 
those days in the early years of playstation for instance.  There were still 
kick ass games, like FF VII - but they were more of a rarity than the common 
place.

The MMORPG market is saturating.  I think we can expect more "expansion 
packs" and the like from existing games and fewer new games coming out. 
There are just not enough people interested in MMORPG that are willing to 
leave their existing service, start new subscriptions or pay for two online 
game subscriptions.

Do I think WOS would blow WOW out of the water?   No :)

But it's still always fun to dream.  So um  . . keep dreaming!
