Interesting but yet more from genericom inc. That is purely investor focused noise. | ||

At the start of SC2 it was planned to release hots 6-9 month after Wol. And now its not even in the long term plans. I think Titan will just WoW 2. Yea they are saying its a new universe and stuff but no company with a brain wouldn´t make a sequel of such an insane successful product. | ||

I mean if people left WoW because they wanted to leave WoW then WoW 2 won't pull them back imo but I could be wrong | ||

$450 000 000 from WoW in one month, which is $15 000 000 per day $ 44 000 000 from hots day1 Hence, the reason why the game lacks attention a lot of the time. They'd have to make day1 sales every 3 days to compete. So, basically SC2 is a side project. Consider yourselves informed. | ||

MMOs work differently, sequels usually fail and everyone has had enough from tabbing. And one of the most important things is the battle system. But I doubt they will try to define the MMO genre completely new. So it will be based of WoW like every other mmo. | ||
