Blizzard Entertainment has registered a new domain name called "ProjectBlackstone.com". The new registration fuels the rumor mill once again that Blackstone might possibly be the name of the new MMO that has been known as Titan for the past couple of years.
What do you think Project Blackstone could refer to? Let us know in the comments!

a new trilogy in the making of a brand new game, as diablo, starcraft, and warcraft can only go so far.
Well, Blackstone does remind one of the old magic kits and books you could buy at hobby and game stores while project sounds modern or futuristic. You could be right and then again... However, that would be a death blow for Funcom. I would be interested in such a game.
A sure sign that you are in an old, dying paradigm/mindset, is when you are scared of new ideas and new technology. Don't feel bad. The world is moving on without you, and you are welcome to yell "Get Off My Lawn!" all you want while it happens. You cannot, however, stop an idea whose time has come.

Blizzard is planning to make their own genetically modified assassins :O
Probably a good idea, since Blizzard has a history of keeping secrets better than government agency, lol.

Considering that the "black soulstone" was the main part of the story in Diablo 3, it will probably be the Diablo 3 expansion.
*Spoiler"
Adria's project in Diablo 3 was to obtain the black soulstone, absorb the essences of the evil bosses, and combine them within to form some type of Voltron-like evil power. At the end of the game, Adria escapes. The expansion will clearly be about Adria and more about the black soulstone (blackstone).
To be perfectly honest, I don't excited when I hear Blizzard. In fact, I sort of get angry. I don't know why. I don't like what they have become. I don't like their community. I don't like their games.
Pretty easy to "keep a lid on it" when there isnt anything to show
TSW - AoC - Aion - WOW - EVE - Fallen Earth - Co - Rift - || XNA C# Java Development
Indeed, people are speculating on another site that it's a D3 expansion, it seems this is what the safe money is on and it has nothing to do with Titan.
If project is there otherwise, then yes TSW isk comes to mind.
Personally I'm rooting for the Pirate Fantasy mmo, BlackStone
ahahaha! well I've always wanted to live out my fantasy of being Jason Bourne
Honestly tho, I have no expectations at all. It might be a masterpiece like vanilla WoW, or more like some of their recent expansions which don't really appeal to me.
I heard it was a modern MMO and Blackstone is the name of the PMC that supplies mercenaries/spies to companies/organizations/countries to undertake missions or a group of missions with an end goal in mind. It will have both solo and group missions (the group missions will require a group makeup with certain skillsets in order to complete - there will be various ways to complete the mission depending on the skillset of the group covert/overt/nuke it/etc)
It will be skill based, no levels, semi-classless (meaning no classes will be decided on character creation but the skill sets you choose to branch into as you progress through the game will decide on you class - but you can learn new skills should you require it - there will be a skill cap so you cannot learn everything but you can 'blank out' a particulr skill tree to relearn a new set of skills). Mission zones will be open PvP, so your PvP faction will depend who you are currently working for... work for one particular grp a lot and you will be limited to that groups allies for missions. This weeks enemy may be next weeks friend.
This sounds great!
