A pretty big leap in price at $2000 according to Nvidia.

Very true. I haven’t seen very good reviews for the brick just yet. Majority of tech users are saying you’re paying way too much for a marginal difference and unless you work in 3D modeling or what not, it isn’t needed for gaming.

There is a bit of a difference between raising an old version of the game from the dead, spicing it up with a few QoL changes and letting it run, and creating an entirely new game.
And being a new game, there would be no carrying over of old account stuff. All your mounts, toys, pets, characters, achievements etc and so forth would be living in current WoW. You’d be starting again.
And hoping very much that the team that does WoW could somehow avoid all the problems of that game in any new one. I wouldn’t be holding my breath.
Not that it would be an issue for me, because (a) I probably wont be playing beyond Midnight, if I make it that far and (b) my computer undoubtedly could not handle any game made using a powerful new age digital software and I don’t have the $$ to get a new one. (Before any US players trumpet the cheapness of computers, please note that not everyone lives near a Best Buy. Assuming the US economy and the effect of imported goods prices stay the same during the next few years…)
WoW 2 is TBC which was a while ago.

Diablo II is on all platforms as well.
This would be the only reason to create a WoWII. To create a game that can be cross platform.
However. There isnt really any reason for them to make a WoWII. Especially now with RIOT’s League MMO back to the drawing board. There is Ashes on the horizon, but not many other MMO’s that will potentially be competition for WoW.
The only thing that making a WoWII would do is fragment its current players. The same thing happened to Everquest when WoW was coming out. They pushed hard to launch a Everquest II. And they did. But the game ended up playing poorly, and being too different from Everquest, and not close enough to WoW gameplay wise. So you had some EQ players go to EQ2. A bunch go to WoW, and then some EQ fans, remained playing EQ. Essentially they aimed to create competition for WoW, but instead they just made more competition for Everquest.
I am not a game developer or anything, but in my opinion, we are well past WoW II. There have been so many iterations of WoW through the expansions that it has very much evolved into a different game all together. But, creating a WoW II, would likely cost hundreds of millions of dollars and take 5+ years. And its not currently worth doing that just to make competition for yourself.

To those saying “who would play WoW 2?”
I would. I’d love to see the world in UE5 with more action combat.
It could be done well where WoW players retain some form of achievement as they move over to WoW 2 without providing unfair advantage over new players.

Not to be rude, but what? lol
That would be great, I have no interest in WoW 2. I could stop playing and finally be free.

Won’t ever happen. Modern corporations are hyper risk averse, and seek out rent seeking instead of trying new things that may or may not work.
Behind door number 1 they keep milking wow for easy money, forever.
Behind door number 2, they try to spin up a new wow game , which will immediately cannibalize from their cash cow. With massive capital costs to make it, and no guarantee it won’t flop like countless other examples of sequel MMOs.
The only sequel MMO to ever prosper was ff14, and that was because they did the WoW gambit. Where you make the game fantastically easy/welcoming to casual players in contrast to ff11 which was an old school MMORPG that would never attract modern gamers.
Yep, this is how I feel. I’ve spent 20 years collecting stuff like mounts, pets, achievements, titles and toys and there is no way I want to start over with a WoW II even if the graphics would be better.

That would only further divide the community and by making another wow you would lose all you got in wow.
Also wow 2 is Buring Crusade.
We are on wow 11 tyvm

WOW 2 already happened… that was The Burning Crusade.
Not end of WoW story just end of an arc involving the titans, still plenty more they can do afterwards but a WoW 2 is not what we need. If they did a WoW 2 people such as myself and no doubt countless others will quit entirely as starting fresh again is not appealing. In my case they do a WoW 2 and I’m quitting Blizzard games in their entirety as I’m not wanting to see them turn WoW into microtransaction heck like they did with OW2. I mean hey it’s fine for a card game and their mobile game involving Diablo but they need to leave WoW out of that crud, also WoW is way to complex to ever be on anything besides a PC so if consoles want it they need to catch up not have the game dumbed down. If the tech was available in modern times I’d of loved to see WoW end up becoming a VRMMO like in anime like Sword Art Online…just without the whole death game thing… sadly that tech may of been outlawed for some reason or due to some certain person
Are you also going to talk about ST: Legacy on WoW forums? 
Honestly, if the day ever comes when there is literally nothing left to add to WoW that would drive up or retain the playerbase, it would go into maintenance mode and quietly die out. MMOs are not a safe bet these days.
WoW 2 was TBC. We’re now on WoW 11.
The cost and the risk of what you’re suggesting would be too catastrophic to ever realistically consider.

not saying your right or wrong but if Blizzard were smart they would pull a ARR on wow and start fresh after the last titan the game to bloated with stuff
