heh, they were advertising jobs for "next generation mmo" about a year and a half ago.
Some existing discussion on the subject.
Why would they even think about releasing another MMO when they already own all of the current market?
In the end, Blizzard is a company that's sole purpose is to make money. And WOW makes them a lot of it.. Id say they'll make expansions until profitability drops significantly
$25 to transfer to another server, $25 to switch character genders?
Yeah, i call that greed.

My guess is the Starcraft series will be converted much like WoW was converted. No guess how they'll do it, but it will most likely be creative. I remember they were developing Starcraft:Ghost awhile back, but then I stopped hearing about it. That looked to be a first person action/platformer and may be the root for a MMORPG from the Starcraft universe. Although many screams of outrage will be heard from the Starcraft obsessed fanbase, a space themed MMORPG from Blizz would steal many nights of my life, and dollars from my pocket.
BTW: Do you think they will utilize this new tech:

if you can afford $15 a month...I dont think $25 should matter to you.
losing your precious lvl70 (which took hundreds of dollars to make) because you want to switch servers or genders (lol, seriously?) must be worth it.
if you think about it we're really just scratching the surface when it comes to MMORPGS. imagine all the things you could accomplish as technology improves...
MATRIX ANYBODY?
So what's it going to be, World of Starcraft?
