Diablo MMO is a stupid idea. So no.
Yep, probably.
Why? No.
The only difference i see would be the setting and lore...
These being a lot worse in D3 than in WoW.
I don't think Blizzard should make another MMO until WoW is effectively dead and runs on a skeleton crew.
If the game is not focused on cosmetic items/transmog, yes definitely!
Probably, yes. Diablo is generally a pretty good series. Being able to make friends and long-lasting groups like guilds to do larger group content like raids or pvp in the setting and combat of Diablo would make for a pretty compelling experience. As long as there was good character customization, and there remained a way to experience a good story solo while offline/invisible, I think I could definitely get in to something like this.
D2 and D3 are pretty addictive games with insane amounts of time required. Playing a new seasson for 8+ hours a day / 7 days a week is "casual gaming".
People play it because of the addictive mechanics and not because of the Diablo theme.
If the story or Diablo theme is all you like, you would play the game 1 day and not for HUNDREDS of played days.
I fear, Blizzard could one day make a super addictive MMO with MyLittlePony's and we would play it.

No.
Diablo should always remain a '3d isometric' RPG.

They're not gonna need a Diablo MMO if WoW continues in the direction it does. I mean, Mythic + had enough resemblance to Rifts in D3, now with 7.3 they're ACTUALLY bringing Rifts to WoW (which is pretty much the only content of D3).
Exactly. WoW is already almost a D3 MMO and in 7.3 convergence gets even closer.
I think Diablo would transition to an MMO very well. It has a low tech medieval fantasy feel to it, with a lot of potential for dungeons and raids and places to explore. It already has a MMO-ish class structure, it's not like people don't know what a Crusader or Wizard is. And there's a lot of room for new lore. With a new engine in place, the game could look very cool with a more serious, gritty, dark gothic feel. I'd play it.
Not for a DIablo MMO.
For a Starcraft MMO? Nope, but I'd quit playing other games to play the shit out of my Terran Ghost.
Most likely yeah.. but not if they copy/paste the wow questing and such.. I would need something new but I do prefer the slightly darker setting of Diablo to WoW.
Also, much much nastier opponents in Diablo, which is awesome! I much rather hunt Diablo, Mephisto, Baal and god knows what than reincarnation no4 of Kil'Jaeden or something like that.
