According to a recent interview with Wired's GameLife, Blizzard's next MMO project will be "Significantly different" than what they have now with World of Warcraft. This alleviates most concern over self-competition, since they seem fairly confident that the new MMO will scratch a new itch. And seriously, even if it did take players away from WoW, would it be such a bad thing for Blizzard?
This interview with COO Paul Sams (by our own Tracey John) touches on much more than this next MMO, which Blizzard is understandably tight-lipped about. Sams discusses the future of WoW's expansions, the potential of Battle.net across multiple titles and even a bit on micro-transactions. So as we can only speculate at this point, what do you think will be Blizzard's next MMO?

it will be a rewrite of Deuteros.
A game that grabbed me from start till the end and beyond ( me talking about a game that i played 18 years ago must be good :) )
if you have the change to play it with UAE please do so.

The Sci-Fi PvP niche is comfortably catered for by CCP's EVE Online. Them releasing news about their FPS off-shoot, called DUST 514, and how it ties-in to their flagship game shows how you can brilliantly dig into a new genre while even capitalizing on previous success.
