My girlfriend's older brother works for blizzard, along with his room mates. He hasn't been working there too long (only a few months), but his room mates are a programmer and art director, respectively. I've heard firsthand from one of these guys that the new game (new MMO I think) blizzard is working on is going to be an entirely new IP. Not sure if this is it, as they were apparently still in the concept stages last time I heard.
Just thought you guys would be interested in that little tidbit of insider information.

I mean...look at the eyes and the space between them. It's the damned same. Unless there's something in addition to WotLK info, that's what this splash screen is for. Which is stupid, IMO. Damned hype for something they've already announced...
STOP
OH JESUS SOMEONE MAKE IT STOP
Wait, here's something we can repeat ad naseum. Ready guys?
Dental Plan!
HAVE YOU GUYS SEEN THIS YET?

Can we get the chemicals in. 'Cause anything's better than this.

It could be anyone however, it matches up with all their existing franchises:
Yes, but seeing as only one of them was encased in ice and has eyes that are smoking exactly like the ones in the splash...
Hmmm...

I would like to believe you. I really would. Because this is what I've been saying for a long time that Blizzard is going to do. But man, you have to understand my skepticism when you tell me your sources.
But yes, I'm still saying if it's not Diablo 3, it's going to be a new IP.
And I have said in other threads that I bet my ass that Blizzard is making a new IP and it's going to be an MMO. Don't know if this is necessarily going to be an announcement of it. It's just a hunch, afterall.

Ill take this with gratuitous amounts of salt, but interesting none the less.
It seems like a bad marketing move to me, if your going to attempt another MMO would you not want to base it off one of your already successful franchises?
and yes I did spell the word 'off' correctly, no matter how many times I try to edit it it still shows up as 'of'

If you want to ruin the worlds in which your franchises exist. A la Warcraft -> WoW.

See, I don't get this reasoning. Do you guys think that Blizzard is really that lazy? You don't think they had someone draw up something new for this announcement? Perhaps something a bit misleading/ambiguous so that people would stay interested in what was going to be announced?
I mean, why the hell would they give it before the actual announcement is made?
You can actually KILL Arthas in Wrath of the Lich King?
What the fuck.
How the fuck does that work.
The same way we killed Illidan.
Where did people get the idea that Arthas was the be all end all big bad of the warcraft universe?
Seriously, where? Because there are plenty of more powerful characters out there.
So stop that.
Well, I mean, he was like the main villain in Warcraft 3, and the expansion. So there's that.
Arthas (Already bad-ass Death Knight extraordinaire capable of defeating Illidan) and Ner'zhul (Who has been enslaved by Kil'jaeden and gaining immense amounts of powers) Merge together to create one being.
I would say the Lich King is pretty damn powerful. Maybe not THE most powerful...but pretty high up there.

Wait, here's something we can repeat ad naseum. Ready guys?
Warcraft is all messed up because of World of Warcraft. Everyone is basically being killed off, since there are rumors that you face Deathwing as well. You kill the entire Outland Illidian Faction, the Undead Faction (Lich King, Kel and Anub) and possibly two of the Aspects (Malygos as well). If both the Lich King and Deathwing die, both of the largest living villains in Azeroth are dead.
Undermines and the Maelstorm are possible, but nothing is strong enough to face the players after after Northrend.
Emerald Dream is a long stretch and eventually only the twisting nether will remain.
Warcraft as a franchise is boned seriously. Warcraft 4 is going to be alternate universe, considerable time skip or something to that affect to have anything to work with.

Didn't Illidan just get recaptured by Maeiv (or whatever?) and now he's going back to be imprisoned??
Anyway, I'm sure Blizzard will leave little loopholes so they always have more content ready to push out to the masses.

This is exactly why I think that Blizzard is not going to make the same mistake twice - they aren't going to turn another pre-existing IP into an MMO.
There is really no way that they can have a game that continues where Warcraft 3 left off, because WoW has boned any decent story that War3 left behind.
you guys have got me all excited and now I am reinstalling my old copy of d2
let's see how well it's held up
man, this is ridic
there is seriously like five fucking disks I have to be keeping track of and as soon as I pick up one I lose the other four and have to start looking for them

Warcraft 4 has you killing all the people who killed illidan and arthas and etc.
The Warcraft universe is enormous. We've only seen a handful of the pretty much endless planets in the Twisting Nether. The Burning Legion and Sargeras are the true ultimate enemies of the Warcraft universe; Arthas and Illidan are small-time.

haha. That would be hilarious. You'd have to go kill some guy that is treated as a serious character despite the fact his name is Legoolas.

Queen Azshara lives in the Maelstrom, she's plenty powerful.
She got defeated by Malfurion Stormrage and since then, she has lost contact to the Well of Eternity for more power. I doubt that she will be that powerful. Especially compared to an Aspect who were demi gods in the Warcraft Universe.
So the countdown timer on diabloii.net is saying that the conference does not start for another ~9 hours. Is this true? Will I not have to stay up all night?
You could always point out that Sylvanas is still around and is evil.
She's a better villain anyway.
Sylvanas is Kerrigan though!
They both fight a swarming evil, get defeated, get minor roles in the main game, get a larger role in the second game, rebel against the swarm mind to form their own faction and then ally themselves with the good guys.

Well, it starts at 11 AM Paris time. So maybe they got their timezones mixed up?

Because no matter what it is, there's going to be a lot of dickeating.

EDIT: Arthas kicked Illidan's ass.
BEFORE he ascended. After he ascended, well...
Christ, now he's the fucking LICH KING. He's a demi-god.
Yes, but seeing as only one of them was encased in ice and has eyes that are smoking exactly like the ones in the splash...
Hmmm...

Could be that epic, bad-ass cinematic at the end of WC3X when he ascends the Frozen Throne.
Edit: Krunk, respec knuckles.
let's see how well it's held up
If you want to ruin the worlds in which your franchises exist. A la Warcraft -> WoW.
No, he's not.
And my reference to Illidan wasn't a power one, I meant that we'll kill Arthas just like we killed any other big name.
In which I said that Arthas kicked Illidan's ass pre-ascension.
Now he's a demi-god. Therefore, Illidan is not really a good meter for power here.
EDIT: Okay. Ner'Zhul just ripped Draenor apart by making a ton of portals.
So this guy who's capable of ripping up WORLDS isn't a demi-god.

Yes he is. He's the most powerful being on Azeroth. The next expansion would have to go to the emerald dream or involve more Burning Legion bullshit.
(referring to Arthas, yes?)
What?
Looking over at my CD wallpaper, I count 3, 4 including the expansion.
