So! We have SC Remastered which is very awesome.
Now , I was thinking that they did SC Remastered because they have no plans in the near future to release another Starcraft game ( we have SC 2
) . So , the next game which will get Remastered ( hopeful announced at this Gamecom ), will mean that , the game will ... not see a next installment in the near future .
So , now , what game would you want Remastered? Diablo(2) or Warcraft(3)?
This is a hard choice , but I say I want W3 Remastered and hoping D4 or a Diablo MMO is coming soon ( enough )

But .. who knows. We are talking about Blizzard They can always surprise us.

If you want a Blizzard IP besides Warcraft to base an MMO on I would pick Lost vikings. Well, or Overwatch but since project Titan got scrapped we wont see that.
And D4 is indeed invitable eventually but I don't think we will see it until after 2022.
So from all of those, I would rather see a Diablo MMO then anything else

What does lore have to do with anything? Diablo is always about action combat in 15 min dungeons.
I don't see how cramping 500 people inside a dungeon will make Diablo better. Of course, if you count 4 player dungeon games with a lobby a MMO, then do make the next Diablo a MMO. Otherwise, i doubt Blizz will bother.
1) starcraft1 is unique in that it still had a HUGE competitive following in the eastern market, with blizzard trying to push e-sports it made sense to remaster.
2) Diablo 2 is unlikely
Blizzard doesn't want to split there D3 community, and there is already very large diablo project currently in development (possibly with mmo features). Blizzard devs have also gone on the record stating that remastering diablo2 would be more resource intensive to remaster because of some of the technical aspects involved(how character movement works was the example given i believe).
3) warcraft 3 is unlikely
they already imported most of the art assets over to starcraft2 and would be more likely for
blizzard to just import over the campaigns as well....instead of remastering an entire game.
4) there is a push internally towards pumping out new IPs.
That, or Blackthorne Remastered.
Not Lost Vikings, I hated Lost Vikings...

Kyleran on yours sincerely
'But there are many. You can play them entirely solo, and even offline. Also, you are wrong by default.'
Ikcin in response to yours sincerely debating whether or not single-player offline MMOs exist...
'This does not apply just to ED but SC or any other game. What they will get is Rebirth/X4, likely prettier but equally underwhelming and pointless.
It is incredibly difficult to design some meaningfull leg content that would fit a space ship game - simply because it is not a leg game.
It is just huge resource waste....'
Gdemami absolutely not being an armchair developer
David Brevik thinks they have their work cut out for them if they want to make it feel the same:

But I don't think it has to feel exactly the same.
Now the question is, which will come second , as we already have SC Remastered.
Diablo 2 is likely to be the next one, even so .. I would like to see W3 and an announcement that a new Diablo ( MMO ) game is in the works and will come in 2070

Blizzard out of ideas? You're kidding.
With the exception of Overwatch, which was cobbled together from their failed Project Titan MMO, there's been no new IPs in Blizzard's basket in a very, very long time.
Also using the term "pumping out" with anything connected to Blizzard is amusing. Blizzard never pumps out anything.
Lastly, the D3 community is already split. Split between playing D2 in its current state, complaining about D3 and playing PoE and the like. They lose nothing in terms of community with D2. And the sales will be astronomical.
I mean, what is World of Warcraft but an mmorpg that is taken from an rts?
History and lore can be fleshed out, events can be constructed, etc.
