quite a number...
though currently only WoW lol...
WoW is not perfect but its still the best among so many...
waiting for GW2 now ^.^

I doubt even the devs want to concentrate on one game for so long.

@kianweic

Since when RTS have dedicated servers anyways? Games have always been P2P what.

with the amount of lore available, u can keep pumping out content for a game with improvements...
its a matter on hw long can the game engine sustain though...

Simple, it is all about the bottom line.

If there's money to be made, somebody / some company will do it.

Blizzard can always outsource development on WoW if they want. Or could just get new people to do it.

but of course it would be cheaper if they do it on their own...
and blizz do have another MMO coming out under a different IP (most of the core ppl behind vanila WoW is in the proj)

Not necessary.

Too many variables to consider and explain.

It could be very expensive to do some stuff in house but cheap to outsource.

next-gen mmo wwwww

Added on June 3, 2010, 5:48 pmi dont think so. as much expacs WoW can release, the core of the game is essentially the same thing.

as for the dedicated server thing, pros and cons. any prob with bnet = no game LOL

server goin down? during game? too bad. you get insta-boot.

Added on June 3, 2010, 5:51 pmthey 'specifically' mentioned the subscription is for server and shit. so... its not too far fetched to consider it as a bonus. by content, look at major content patches.

and those aside, almost every patch WoW releases is a huge TLDR WALL O TEXT

well blizz already have the perfect formula...
why change something that is working rite?

having a server would be better as the server could prevent possible hacks like maphacks via packet checks...
of course there would be more latency issues...

ya cata might be delayed...
3.5 is not out yet and sitll busy in PTR (though might be next week)

is this a WoW thread?? i'm.... i'm must be dreamin...

*mods b!tch slapped noodlez back to reality*

my 'hate' for SC2 is still about the pricing for SEA edition although i really don't mind matching up with ah beng commenting about HIGH latency (well, TMNut... sg players stated i'm either rerouted from india or europe when joining any sg hosted games playing WC3) that made them lose the game.

lol india got better latency than us for WoW lol...
that's ironic >.<

I can't say I hate SCII, just because I haven't even tried it yet.
But I won't be looking forward to it.

If I wanted to hate it, I'll blame it on the pricing.

I wanna see how many ppl hate SC2 here but end up buying it in the end.

I'll buy it, if it's on 75% discount.

Haha .. if u can wait for SC3 .. then SC2 will only be USD9.99 .. and then u can go ahead n buy it ... nobody will stop u

^Yes, I will do that.
and yeah, i'm a cheapskate

So say the cheapskate .. hehe

Sorry to burst you dream but SC1 has yet to even drop to as low as USD9.99.

There might be some "Miracle" happens in Steam if they able to acquire their sales permit.

Thinking of that failed MW2 boycott steamgroup eh? Sorry man, till now I haven't even pirated it let alone bought it yet.

But unlike MW2's totally FUBARed multiplayer I don't 'hate' SC2 per se, I hate its SEA price. So, you'd only see me on bnet on US/EU server, or SEA server only if the price gets knocked down to sensible prices.
