No - Wasn't that....Apparently some of the same people that made Diablo 2 worked on this new one...

The company that developed Hellgate London was formed by ex-Blizzard employees that worked on the Diablo games. They're also working on another game called Mythos thats currently in beta. It sounds very similar to the Diablo games (free online play, randomly generated areas etc):

I don't believe it will be a starcraft mmo, not with one already going strong, as well as SC2 coming out soon.

Most likely a new genre all together.
Diablo3 was on the rumourmill, but that wasn't for a mmo version.

Also, who said it was a mmo-"rpg"?

Im thinking a starcraft mecwarrior type of mix, a bit like eve in that its all about you're ship/mec rather that you're charactor.

Battle Zone?

I want a Midkemia based MMO

If you read Mr Feists usenet group he said recently none are planned but not to discount anything.

I just hope they make a good mmo whatever it is. Wow was good but got bogged down with too many issues, either technically or in game play. imo they need to make a new mmo more cerebral. But I think they will play safe and effectively do a wow2.

Feist MMO has so much potential, the two worlds and classes, the rift etc... Could really be immense and although there is a fantasy element, it would be a distinctive change from the "orc/monster versus human/elf" take we seem to be finding a lot.

I agree for anyone that has read the books it would be the greatest thing ever. The background story is already there, the "magic" theory... religions, mystical locations...

Personally though if they made it they would need to wait a few years so that its not just another fantasy mmo.

Planetside II

too many Fantasy MMO's, need more tactical/strategy/FPS ones, well I do at least, games like Diablo or WoW etc. don't really do it for me, least I'll have Eve for a few more years
