Yes, Universe of Starcraft is their next MMO. Couldn't you have guessed? |

May contain nuts. |
Yep, old news. I don't think Blizzard have tried to hide the fact that they're working on a next gen MMO. There might have even been a press release, I'm not sure. |

Hate to burst the bubble, but at BlizzCon they said the new MMO would be a completely new franchise. |

Would you link that. There are facts and there are inferences. Just like to see it with my own eyes. |

Any new or returning player to WOW, send me a PM for some help getting started. |
They never said it would be a new IP. It would be counter-intuitive for them to start a new IP for a new MMORPG. Do you know how HUGE a universe of Starcraft would be just because of the name recognition. Do you think there is a reason the two games they have announced they are working on are Starcraft2 and Diablo3? It's because the name alone will generate a ton of sales. It's the same reason Bioware is using the KotoR as the IP for their new MMORPG rather than using a new IP. WOW continues to grow in subscribers (currently 10.9M). I honestly think even if the new MMORPG is 3-4 years away, they still won't directlly compete with their own product at that point. I fully expect the new game to be Universe of Starcraft which will be more like EVE/EnB and will be more pvp/RvR centric than WOW. |

I don't have the quote handy, but a blizzard official stated at blizzcom that they were NOT working on a Starcraft MMO, they like the strategy genre Starcraft is in and are not interested in putting it in a MMO environment. So if you are hoping for a Starcraft MMO, it is not going to be in the near future, it is not the MMO they are working on now. |
