think its to early for a new mmorpg, think they will show alot of there new games beside.

Who says it's an RPG?

All i heard was MMO

They've got a record-breaking mmorpg...

They might be looking at trying something else

Maybe there gonna release a chain of Warcrafts again with a TON of new lore. Then release WoW 2. with all of that lore tied in. and then somehow connect WoW and WoW 2. o.O

I don't think they'd show the next WoW expansion at this years BlizzCon. They'll really need to have atleast Icecrown out before then (patch 3.3.).

Why??? They can announce a product whenever they want. Keeping in mind when they make the announcement it will be well over a year before it's an actual product in our hands. Even if they announce the next expansion it will be purely concept with "maybe" one stripped down zone for people at the convention to look at. When WotLK was announced all we got to see was a pretty empty and limited version of Howling Fjord with Utgarde Keep playable and some concept art. These guys are good at what they do and I have no doubt they could whip out something like that in a matter of weeks seeing as the game engine already exists.

I'd like think we'll see:
- More on the classes/game mechanics in D3 with more opportunities to sit down and play the updated version.
- An opportunity to sit down and play SC2 as it will be when the beta begins (maybe the announcement of the beta if it hasn't started by then).
- High quality cinematic for SC2 to open the event.
- New expansion announced for WoW (accompanied by a lower quality in game machinima featuring zones in progress). Hard to say what details they'll release as the ones they announced for WotLK kind of shot them in the ass (i.e. we still don't have new dances in the game even though they were announced at **Blizzcon '07**).

I don't think they'll touch on the new MMO or the movie.

Likely this is their platform for announcing the next MMO

What are you smoking? ;D

They won't announce that for another 3-4 years, and the next wow expansion at the end of this year.

Not sure whether or not I want to go again, but after going once, you really understand the do's and don't's of Blizzcon. So maybe I'll go again and this time, I'll know what to do and have an overall better time.

o.O What's that mean? What are these "do's and don't's"?

I wonder why they're moving it to August. October is generally nice here in Southern California but August is hot as hell. Not to mention that October is already cold in other parts of the country so the out of state people who visit Blizzcon generally get to come here when the weather's better than in their home state.

And it's juuust too late for me. Most colleges (and even lower education, 1st-12th grades) start sometime between the beginning and middle of August. If only it was 3 weeks earlier.

This just in; you will need to drive in vehicles to be able to arrive at the convention.

WTF SLAP IN THE FACE.
