"Next-Gen MMO"

it's almost time to quit and just wait for that.

[Dracus]

so what are we going to do when the next big game comes out?  lol  i've wasted too much time on this game to quit now!

Also given that WoW went into production around what...2000~2001 and came out 2004, did you reallllly want to wait that long for the next one?

I think we'll all be driving our hover-cars to pick this one up at the store when it's ready. oh.

try to beat koreans in starcraft 2, though i've never been a fan of rts (played CNC3 for like 10 hours total and haven't since)

I'm no expert on blizzard's internal development structure, but this would be my guess based on the fact that blizzard is a large company with a shitload of resources:

I'd imagine that the "next-gen mmo" is already well underway (and they are just now doing some more public hiring for talent in order to kick the project into high gear). given that wow released in 2k4, I'd wager that the core mmo dev team moved on to next "new mmo" project, and another dev team took over developing new content/expansion for wow.

and of course another team was already working on sc2, which looks to be rumored to be out by the end of 2008.

then there's probably at least 1 or 2 more dev teams working on experimental projects (which could be the category where the next-gen mmo developers already fall into)

At that point..I'll prolly be on a cruiser so remind me to "accidently" point a missile towards that dev team's HQ and fire.

Gamasutra wins the Captain Obvious award for E3.

Blizzard has made no secret of fielding multiple dev teams working on different projects. Clearly, someone's been asleep at the keyboard for months. How do idiots like that get writing jobs?
