Was so busy yesterday I never managed to visit the forums and missed some important news. Jeff Kaplan aka Tigole posted in the general wow forums that he is changing roles at Blizzard. He will begin working on the new MMO that Blizzard hasn’t spilled the beans on yet.
I wanted to wish him the best in his new position. I’ve always found him to be an interesting person, and have enjoyed his interviews over the years. I have seen him at all the Blizzcons, he knew how to rile up the masses
If you read his post it almost sounds like a good bye letter though titled “Till we meet again”. The only thing I can figure is that Blizzard is still far from letting us know what this secret MMO is so he is unlikely to be in the public eye.
Frankly I can’t even imagine what this new MMO is going to be based on. I have a hard time believing it would be off Diablo, for one they are working on a new version of it, and I believe WoW and Diablo are probably too close in the fantasy realm. Starcraft is the other option but they are making a new version of the RTS already and the world in my mind doesn’t lend itself to an MMO concept. Perhaps it is something completely brand new?
I guess we’ll have to wait and see and I’m sure we’ll be seeing a lot of Jeff again when Blizzard is ready to tell us
