By the time it comes out, WoW may very well be waning. Even if it comes out much sooner than that, I doubt it would have a major impact on their bottom line. A large number of players will more than likely maintain subscriptions to both, they'll get new customers who are interested in a scifi mmo, and they'll get customers like me back that don't play WoW anymore. Sure, there will be people that leave WoW in favor of a Starcraft mmo, but that will still be cash in Blizzard's pocket.If it is an mmo, though, I think the idea of some sort of mmorts is much more likely than an rpg. Hmm. Of course, they could set up some sort of system where if you get a high enough level, you can roll up a Zerg colony of your own and start taking over territory with it. Or they could do what LotRO did and allow you to play high level evil characters in war torn areas. If they’re just announcing it now, then it’s probably several years from release.

Rumours are rumours … With the upcoming announcement in Korea I’ve heard a lot of things … I think it’s almost sad to see an actual gaming website making up a hoax like this …

There is even a new novel too to expands the story AFTER the games... I wonder if this leads to the second half?

They're good at seeing what others have done and taking it to an all new level. That's Blizzard's forte. I'm on the fence until I hear from Blizz what they're doing.
