New MMO on the way from blizzard?

According to Ghostcrawler, there are no plans for another MMO any time soon. Not sure what Starcraft 2 is going to be classified as.

Q: What new MMO is Blizzard working on? Has any info been released?

Ghostcrawler:
1) We haven't announced anything on the new project. We probably wo
n't for awhile.

2) Kalgan is still here on WoW. We discuss the game design every single day. He is behind all of the changes we make.

3) The design team makes all of our decisions by consensus. It's a slow process, but it means there are no I-told-you-sos down the road. That portion of the team that doesn't post here doesn't get enough credit for all of the enormous contributions that they make. It kind of sucks. :(


4) The WoW forums have a storied tradition of attacking the messenger when they don't like the message. When Kalgan posted a lot, players attacked him too. Whether it's me or someone else posting here two or whenever years from now, they will become the new most hated person in WoW. :)


5) We don't let it bother us. You can't in this business. It's important to us to communicate with the players, and the forums are one way to do that. We just ban the players that can't control themselves and like to spew garbage instead of discussing the game.

No More Honor Reset! /yay

Quote from: Bornakk (Source)

"We had hoped that the introduction of some new Honor rewards in the upcoming patch would give players a great opportunity to spend any of their remaining Honor. However, many players would still be surprised by an Honor and token reset as it isn’t something we’ve done in the past. As such, we've decided to not reset Honor or tokens upon the release of Wrath of the Lich King. Players who save their Honor will be able to spend it on level 80 rewards, although those rewards will be significantly more expensive than their level 70 counterparts. "

Pitty i already spent all mine, Dam it! Argh... Oh well i spose that the items will be good for another, 3 levels or so. /yay.

Also Blizzard have released yet more Class Changes in WotLK Beta - Build 9014.

MMO Champion - Class Changes

A few cool hunter changes:

  • Aimed shot mana cost reduced from 11% of base mana to 8%. Casting time changed from 2.5 sec to instant. Cooldown increased from 6 seconds to 10 seconds. Damage reduced to about 25% of the old value. (Lowered from 1570 to 408 for Rank 9)
  • *New Spell* - Fires a Black Arrow at the target, slowing the target's movement speed by 70%. While the movement speed effect holds, the damage done by your ranged shots are increased by 15% on the target. Lasts for 6 sec. (6% of base mana, 5-35 yd range, Instant cast, 12 sec cooldown)
