So come this June Paris will be hosting Blizzard Entertainment. The big question is will they show that could top StarCraft II, I have read rumors about a M.M.O. in the works like everyone else. Though I think it would be a big mistake for Blizzard to go for a Diablo style M.M.O.
With the Diablo world they would have to invent a reason for PVP. Since every charter fights for the same reason and with the same guide. It would make for a fun PVE game, though time and time again PVP helps boost sales and lines the pockets of companies. So the game would not even make sense from a financial position. Granted I am not saying you can not have a successful game without PVP, but you would be ostracizing a large group of players. Or they would have to spend a lot of time creating a faction that you could go toe to toe against.
Another reason why to pass on a Diablo M.M.O is that as much as I love the medieval setting at the present time we have to much saturation. With WOW, Everquest one and two, Vanguard, lord of the rings and in a little while Warhammer online. Just to rattle a few titles off the top of my head. But you might be saying to yourself, they already have space M.M.O's out as well. That's true but, there is yet one made with the user friendly and mass fan base as WOW. I think this is the shot in the arm that the sci-fi genre needs.
Plus with battle.net fans of the series can already go online and group up and the devil itself. Now I'm not saying a Diablo M.M.O. would not be fun I am just saying for the time being a StarCraft M.M.O. would be the better bet.
