If Blizzard created an entirely new fantasy IP for a brand new MMO, would you play it?

Maybe? (See title)

So with the lack of faith the community seems to have in WoW, I don’t know (at least right now) how a new MMO would garner support.

No.

Would depend on the development team and overall vision for the game for me.

Is Bobby Kotick still in charge? If yes, no.

I think it’d be a bit more sensible to actually see the proposed project/what development has been done before damning or endorsing something.

There is no world where I would get trapped into another Blizzard MMO through Sunken Cost again.

It was already hard enough convincing myself to play final fantasy.

We don’t get structurally enforced eyebrows, playable zombies, or the male night elf death “HUYAAAAAAAHHH!!!” sound.

No. They tried this already, with project Titan. They split up their WoW team and the effort led to burnout among the devs. It impacted WoD and what held so much promise at the Blizzcon unveiling became…well, if you played WoD, you know. We don’t need this to happen all over again.

I thought project Titan was just a codename for early iterations of Overwatch.

considering how bad the writing is for shadowlands, i doubt they could make anything new that is worth paying attention to.

I believe they used some of the assets, yes. Titan was scrapped. Overwatch was born. Either way, it split up the WoW dev team and the game has only seen one good expansion since 2014. It was this shuffle that has put WoW on the path it is on today.

This can be fixed not killing them!

If it was like WoW, in the sense that when I cast a fireball, it shows that I cast fireball. There is a certain amount of polish that WoW still has that works very well yet.
I would try it out. It may not be any good. Though it might not be to bad either.

The thing is, there’s genuinely good parts of bfa. Shadowlands, ehh. but Ti̶d̶e̶s̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶̶̶̶V̶e̶n̶g̶e̶a̶n̶c̶e Rise of Azshara was great. To this day it was my favorite patch.

Edit: apparently I don’t remember my favorite patch.

I am not condemning everything about entire expansions. I had fun in WoD, despite the lack of content and failure to deliver on some of the things shown and talked about before its launch. Also, more of my friends played back then, and friends make WoW all the more fun. So my memories of WoD are fond still.

Not everyone loved Legion. I loved it.

I loved parts of BfA. I love parts of Shadowlands. It just isn’t enough to cover up some of the glaring problems it has, though. Also, more of my guildies and friends are leaving the game in droves, so it makes what little content there is to do all the more worse. WoW is meant to be enjoyed with friends, even if it aims more and more at a solo player experience. This is all another conversation to be had though.

I just wouldn’t play another MMO made by Blizzard. It would be competing with itself and split the WoW community up more than it already is. Have I thought about what a World of Starcraft would be like though? Oh heck yeah. I’d love to run around as a protoss but it would just be the death knell for WoW, if it hasn’t already been reached.

I’d rather they fix WoW, starting with this poor excuse for lore that we’ve got since the start of BfA.

Nope. Genre may be stagnant but there’s no room for another fantasy mmo unless Blizz creates a system that breaks the mold that they created the first time around.

Now if it was Sci-fi and based on StarCraft, hello, take my money.

I learned how to take things in stride. I first felt disillusioned with WoW during warlords of draenor. I had the most fun in Ashran, but when enough people tell you about how much it sucks you eventually just decide to agree with it.

The thing is, I don’t hate covenants, Torghast, soul binds, etc. but truthfully I feel like I’d enjoy it so much more if the story wasn’t so … what word do I describe it? Not even bad, just… disappointing.

Unless its a Starcraft mmorpg with solid gameplay mechanics I wouldn’t be interested.

I doubt Blizzard has the kind of talent to make a new mmo let alone keep this one stable and interesting enough to keep it competitive with the likes of FF14 which is killing the scene atm.

Unlike WoW which in comparison is just sitting in the dark corner with its head between its knees.
