Blizzard SHOULD have a secret World of Warcraft 2 in the making.

Remember the saying "all or nothing"….. At this point, it's the only thing that will work successfully.
Putting aside the fact that nothing mmorpg is a great economical investment. But a paradox to this is IT CAN BE even with the cost of everything being sky high.
Simplified math example:
It would take 50 million dollars to make 200 million….. This is what it comes down too. And it will work.
Defying logic for all the marketing experts here and everywhere. Some times you have to put down the calculator and simply think !!
The way I see it everything in this world that could be invented is already done….. But this is a paradox too, meaning more things will be invented but they will defy logic and most will not sound like a good investment.
Take the smart phone for example… If you grew up in the 70s where you only had wired landlines, you would be considered crazy if you ever told people everyone will be walking around with a full hand held computer that's also a phone that could take pictures and scan bar codes…. It's a paradox defying logic !!
Defying logic will work for mmorpg's. Unfortunately it would take the largest Investment in video game history. IT WILL WORK….. If not, if no hope, why are we still here talking about it ?.... It's are last chance.
So I pose a question!....Who is capable of defying logic and make an all out mmorpg ?
-Blizzard ( be #1 twice )
-ArinaNet
-Microsoft
I'll leave you with this,
If you’re a nay slayer, and argue against this….. Why post on mmorpg.com ?
Simply to talk about the past or crush everyones dreams ?

The second iteration of a MMO does not always work that well, look at EQ2 or GW2, Of those two I preferred EQ2 though it was GW2 that was a "success", in terms of player numbers anyway. AC2 never stayed the course, it is a minefield.
For me it would be the same game with new graphics, I think that would work better than a whole new world as they do not seem to work as well as some would think they will.
Thats why I list three companies that MAY take the risk.
If not were done.... We need hope and this is where the hope will come from.
You can see from the articles on here lately, devs talking about how ability pruning was too much and asking whether a level squish is viable. I think if classic is a hit they'll take the ideas from it and roll with em.
It's too late for them to change this sort of thing in retail, Pandora's box was opened and there ain't no closing it now.
Was thinking the same thing
" The South will rise again "
I think this is Blizzard's motto too
The industry is now WIDE OPEN....History will repeat itself
Their smart people that would understand this fact.
This is an optimistic post !
Everyone here would agree, now that we got that out of the way. What do you want !
Or my question is what do you think Wow 2 can do that Wow 1 can't already do?
Using wow 2 is an exaggeration of this. However Blizzard would be the largest contender.
Feel free to add more suggestions because this is pro active
"I'll never grow up, never grow up, never grow up! Not me!"
ANY company would realize an award winning product will have an end.
SOMEDAY this will come, when is another subject but it WILL END !
Survival or better yet re-doing that can "pack a punch" can reset and bring the company to NEW again..... It's like saying be number one twice !..... Blizzard has the money and the know how to do it
Being exactly WoW 2 ?.... Wouldn't recommend it.
Key words here:
Be #1 twice !
New lore, new world, new fantasy...... Hell, keep the same formula of abilities and style format (I would recommend classic difficulty) Think outside the box with a new mmorpg...... Blizzard but not WoW, they have the money and resources, and are simply in the business.
This is my suggestion, their are many others.
