However:
Blizzard's mindset is "make it easy for kids"...... This makes it a bad idea.
WoW 1 would have to run a much longer course and dry up. Not a good idea to compete against yourself.
mmorpg junkie since 1999
Part of why I don't play MMOs anymore is because of their very nature. They are meant to go on endlessly and it causes stagnation. Once one is created it is just milked for as long as possible.

Bottom line, the primal species are happy with how things are to begin a golden age through new creation/innovation/invention. Then you have the modern kingdoms aka governments control the labor force in this case the software developers who are paying 10x more than what some private, indie company would pay.
If anything will come into the market it will be from some insanely rich individual who wants a specific MMORPG really bad or some desperate crowd like what happen in Star Citizen to fund their dream/hope and get peanuts in the process.
Too much pay to win/advance has also plagued this genre in the modern era and lack of regulations/laws in North America has left it vulnerably and unstable/uncertain. If anything after world war III we can see far superior inventions/products in the gaming industry because if anything the primal species will learn that if most of humanity are left without toys to play they will start a conflict out of boredom.
With a growing population and slow but certain decrease of living standard it also makes sense people to be more involved with things that can allow them to experience entertainment while living responsible within their means. At the end your life is far safer when you're indoor than outdoor interacting with the rest of the primal species.
Sweet nibblets son, while I agree with a few of your points, after reading that I had to go off and have a double scotch and tell myself everything will be OK, while slowly rocking backwards and forwards in my safe place.
Case in point, the original Star Wars movie was far bigger than ANY of the sequels that followed it.
DOOM... another good example of a perfect lightning strike.
These events happen once because no one expected it to happen. If you go looking for it, it will never happen. Hence, you don't actually create that lightning strike, it just happens.
Blizzard knows this because they didn't even anticipate the reaction that WoW got. They really had no idea what was going to happen. They only expected the usual sales/interest of their other titles. So you see, they didn't go out intending to make a Messiah out of WoW, it happened all by itself. Which is why trying to create another is a foolish endeavor to begin with... you never created the first one, it just happened.
Blizzard has never had a clue about MMO markets, even tho they try to convince otherwise giving us BS about market researches and data they have collected, which they have no idea how to interpret it. Announcing classic servers is yet another desperate move they make. They believe they have a perfect MMO in their hands, but can't figure why the subs are dropping year after year, so they need to experiment if classic truly did something better than casual and super accessible linear single-player MMO.
Once this process is completed and they finally realise where things went wrong it's time to think WoW 2. They scrapped project Titan, which was a smart move since all evidence suggests that Titan would have been pretty much like Wildstar, a.k.a linear, action orientated, casual and cute with spammable dungeon finder tool and weak mobs you can aoe down while watching TV.
We will see WoW 2 sooner than later, that's for sure, but for the sake of all parties i hope it will be released in distant future by new dev team and under new management.
Think before you post again, that was painful.

They've made billions off of WoW. Time to get back to your roots Blizzard and put games before profits. Everyone is waiting for the next Flagship MMO from you.
In fact, shouldn't Blizz be innovative and make other type of online games instead rather than rehashing old game types?
Blizzard does as little as they can get away with.They will react to volume of complaints but since most are too busy being selfish gamer's to care,not enough complaints roll in.
Blizzard aims for Esport and cash shops now more than ever,they are moving towards that goal.So there is ZERO incentive to make a WOW 2,besides Blizzard fanbois would simply move over to Wow2 unless it was real bad.As well Blizzard as already pointed out "does as little as needed"goes for cheap low end graphics,making a mmorpg in 2017 with more Wow type graphics would be an embarrassment to Blizzard and their team.
So instead they have been aiming for NEW markets,like the moba's,the TCG's,the FPS,my gut feeling is that once FFXI reboot for mobile destroys every mobile game out there,Blizzard will move in and make their own ,quite possibly WOW for mobile or Wow2 for mobiel or Diablo whatever for mobile,that is their next market to attack.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
Companies have indicators and data of customer behaviour, and it's easy to misinterpret. They want to find the maximum on the bells graph for the highest possible profit, but for WoW they missed this mark and are on decreasing part of the graph atm.
I've followed WoW official forums for over a decade even if i'm not subscribed. Many years ago there was lots of talking about WoW getting easier and more convene, and one of the Blizzard posters said they have noticed a trend that every time they make something easier the sub numbers go up. So, how long can you keep doing this? How easy a game can be before everyone lost interest in playing it? They seem to think at Blizzards the answer is 'indefinitely'.
As a market leader Blizzard is followed closely by other gaming companies, who try to copy at least the part of Blizzard's success so they design their own games with similar features and mechanics. The exemplar went too far and the followers can't recognize this releasing a game no one wants to play, then they keep wondering why and make even more errors by going further on the path that leads nowhere. So here we are, surrounded by countless of MMOs closing down servers one after another, but it's okay since 'the genre is declining'.
I guess 'doesn't have a clue' was not right, it's more like 'has become blind' while trying to be more successful. As i'm a fan of allegories, i'd say it's like selling automobiles in China and noticing how sales go up every time the price goes down and the vehicle gets smaller and easier to operate. Few rounds later the product has turned to an ordinary bicycle and they congratulate themselves how well their cars sell in the country.
