next gen WoW MMO should be 1000 years forward in the timeline

[Ron Burgundy]

it's the only way to truely reset this game. both the alliance and horde are dead. only remnants remain and are scattered throughout azeroth. all cities and borders should be altered.


i believe this is the only way to move forward.

Doesn't matter because it's never gonna happen

[Dakhath]

So you want World of Starcraft?

cyberpunk world with wow races and history, seems interesting

[Toppy]

I want my Panda in a modern setting.

I want Goblins in a modern setting.

Do it blizzard you wont.

We already played that in legion

[Life-Binder]

Names may be different, allegiances may be different, but it undeniably would still basically be the same "Horde vs Alliance".

I disagree. The only way to reset wow is to launch it 300 years in the future. 1000 years is just stupid.

The future is Cronenberg WoW.

1. There is no next-gen WoW. There will be no next-gen WoW.

2. If there was, it would have factions. BFA was their chance to put a stake in that once and for all and instead they doubled down.

3. Blizzard doesn't care what you believe. Literally no one at Blizzard is asking "what does that guy with the South Park avatar think we should do??"

Which is horrible because a two opposing sides mmo doesn't work. People gravitate to one side or the other per server, so the conflict part of it never really is. It takes 3 sides if they actually want player conflict (ala DAOC). Underdogs band together making no side ever dominate. With wow, we've seen how faction balance goes.

It already exists. It's called Shadowrun.

So given Blizzard's track record, they'd have 0 worries about ripping it off.

Well to be honest, if WoW is going to drop factions it's going to be at the beginning of a faction after a expansion overhaul, not at the tail end before the last patch. I'm sure they have their hands full converting zones and level squishing...I'm sure they have lots of blanks to fill in too.

Maybe deciding if they're going to return to classic talents too...

Then it wouldn't be warcraft and should just be a fresh IP.

[Fallen of Lordaeron]

With the MMO market on the decline, it seems unlikely Blizzard would make a next-gen MMO.

They'll probably keep pumping out WoW expansions for the next several decades until a cost-benefit analysis says otherwise. After new expansions become unprofitable, they'll likely end product and utilize legacy servers to keep the game available.

[Uko]

There will be no new mmo from blizzard. Overwatch was built from the remains of their attempt at a next gen mmo but they saw it was an unviable product that would only cannibalize their existing mmo community. They just cost way to much for the return on investment. Well be getting incremental upgrades each expansion for many more years to come on wow though.

Industrial/Modern Age time period for Warcraft could still be Warcraft.

"My arbitrary time period is better than your arbitrary time period."

This made me laugh, yet is entirely accurate.

"Nooooo. The best time jump would have to be 579 years, and 6 months!".
