This is cool. Maybe Blizzard is trying to bring back some sort of 3rd person single player game, like SC:Ghost?

That's not the people problem, that's developer's fault for trying to make another WoW on a genre you can't compete to a game who had that many years of success and polishement. This story has been repeating itself since warhammer online (i don't count Age of Conan... because the combat system was awesome, too bad it was bugged as fuck). There are only a handful non-themepark MMORPGs out there, and all of them catter to a very small kind of community (ultra hardcore, pvp'ers, complexity).

We are interested in finding a means to both arrest the obligatory asymmetric replication (the astounding healing factor) of the zerg, and adapt it (in some measure) for our Dominion soldiers.
Isn't this the new reaper healing?

WoW was felt polished while it was in beta. They're one of the only companies that just 'gets it', and makes completely smooth and awesome gameplay. It lacked features at launch and suffered greatly from server stability but it was polished.
Blizzard is just filled with amazing talent and must be an amazing place to work. Other MMO's can't touch WoW from the point it looks awkard just to move around.

Im thinking that this might be a DLC campaign that will be released a short time before HotS is released and that it will place inbetween the ending of WoL and where HotS will start... just my random thought tho... or it might have something to do with Samir Duran from the BW campaign since he was a major player in that lore and to this moment has just been missing in the sc2 story line...
Im actually a bit exited about this but i fear that this little stunt will drag on way to long and make alot of people loose intrest before we get to know what this "project" is all about.
He hasn't been missing.
Hes Dr. Narud.

Think about it, though. MMOs give you the steadiest revenue stream from a franchise. They once said in Activision-Blizzard press conference that they are going to make ONE free game and an MMO. We all know that MMO = Titan. So This will probably be the FREE GAME that they said they gonna make in the future.(They said that in 2011 Press Conference)
I am going to go on a limb and agree with this. That's what this probably is.

Good news is that Everquest 3 will be a sandbox MMO instead of themepark.

Indeed, just compare WoW to all the "WoW-killers." Guess which one came out on top?
But then you have a game like EVE. It is an MMO so yes it is "competing" with WoW but it's a totally different experience when compared to WoW (World of warcraft being the supreme themepark MMO right now while EVE is the best sand box MMO on the market).

It's probably because there won't actually be any data up for week 2 yet to crack into.

It's actually a group of remanent UED scientist and soldiers that were stationed on the planet Braxis. The whole human/zerg research is being done on their very own Alexei Stukov, who was infested by the Zerg cerebrate Kaloth shortly after he died. . Before Alexei's death he hid the blueprint of the Psi Disrupter. The remanent of the UED reunite and reconstruct the Psi Disrupter. Their plans are to control the Zerg again to maintain order within the sector under the alias "Project Blackstone". Since Kerrigan has lost a lot of the control she once had on the Zerg and all of the cerebrates are dead, nothing will stop the Psi Disrupter once it's activated. Alexei will then become the "King of the Swarm".
