I think there is a 0.00000001% chance (being generous) ANY of that is real.
I also HIGHLY question how “valuable” Diablo 4 is when you compare it to a literal free money generator like Hearthstone. Last I heard/read, Hearthstone was, by far, the most profitable of the IP’s because it takes the fewest actual devs and also has a very lucrative income model selling purely digital card packs and mini expansions.
A new untitled World of Warcraft successor MMORPG… …looking to take a lot from FFXIV…
And right here is where’s I knew this was BS

Almost as real as a pig with wings
Anyone believing this (including you OP) is gullible and should be shamed for believing in this fan made false information

About as believable as Hollow Earth theory
I want to say it’s fake but you never know, could be real.

Can we not make baseless assumptions again?
Remember when the forums were absolutely convinced that 9.1 wouldn’t be until August? And then it came in June?
Not saying 9.2 isn’t going to be delayed, not even saying it’s not going to be a miserable wait until “spring 2022” (or that it is)
I’m just saying rumor mongering and baseless speculation does no one any good.

You mean there aren’t dinosaurs and lizard men living inside the planet waiting for the day they can reclaim the surface? My whole belief system has been shaken to the core.
I can tell you right now, if any website uses a MMO-Champ thread as their proof I’m not trusting anything from that website ever again

There is a lot of that going around in 2021. A lot.
I would say this is just some guy’s dream. Blizzard has around 28m active users. It would be are really bad business decision to throw 28m active users into the trash. World of Warcraft is estimated to have 3m active users per day (FF14 has 2m), so again, that wouldn’t be a good business decision.
This is not to say that changes need to be made. It is very clear that blizzard has lost their way a little bit and needs to inject some new blood and passion into their organization. The new leadership will want to show their stuff, so we’ll probably see the results of this change in late 2022/early 2023.

This sounds faker than a Dolly Parton animatronic at Disney Land. Just based off insider information, job listings, and common sense.
“Leaks” from accounts with words like “leaker” or reference former employment with a game development studio are usually fake.
A while back there was a similar fake leaker claiming to be a former Bethesda dev and said some ridiculous stuff like Bethesda Game Studios not knowing where Elder Scrolls VI was going to be set until 2018, that their photogrammetry exceeds terabytes of data, and that they somehow made the teaser trailer in less than a month and that nothing from the teaser trailer will be in TES VI.
Obviously a fake leak for TES VI because it’s pretty much guaranteed that TES VI’s setting of Hammerfell (and possibly High Rock?) was decided way back during Oblivion’s development (the early rough drafts for Skyrim were presumably made during Oblivion if the references to the Akaviri mean anything). These games are loosely planned WAY far in advance, like Oblivion was already planned to be Elder Scrolls IV back when The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard was made.
This “Blizzard Leak” sounds like yet another fake leak from weird people who like to pose as devs and other insiders and make stuff up for whatever reason.
I’m like 99.9% sure it’s fake.
But who knoOOOOOOooows.

Yeah its Doomer “fantasies”.
Almost none of this make sense from a marketing point of view, or if you have any clue how a business works.
Even if it was, they wouldn’t put WoW on “maintenance” mode just now when its successor is probably something like 7 years away from having to rebuild an entire studio to begin with.

Anyone that thinks this is even remotely true is an idiot. Simple as that.

This got removed when it was a hyperlink to mmo-champ. Do you actually think you’re being clever by circumventing the removal by taking a secreenshot of the hyperlink in question? Jeez.
It’s absolutely fake as %%%%, lol.
