This would be a good direction. The next generation--the more I think of it--has to be a departure from what we've come to expect.
If you take a look at the other MMOs in development*, due for release soon, Blizzard will have to leapfrog them to keep ahead.
It will have to be something entirely new.
*to name a few: - Aion (NCsoft),
- Final Fantasy XIV (Square Enix),
- DC Universe Online (Sony Online Entertainment),
- Champions Online (Cryptic Studios),
- Guild Wars 2 (ArenaNet),
- Marvel Universe (Gargantuan),
- Star Wars: The Old Republic (BioWare / Mythic) and
- The Agency (Sony Online Entertainment)
