VideoGamer.com talked to Blizzard's executive vice-president of product development, Frank Pearce, who denied any current plans to create a World of Warcraft sequel:
Speaking to VideoGamer.com, Pearce said the team is still waiting to enjoy new content as players before turning to what must be an inevitable sequel.
"We haven't even started to think about a sequel," he said. "The team still has a huge wishlist of exciting features to add on top of what's already been implemented since launch. Not to mention, we're all still playing the game pretty heavily ourselves, and there's a lot more content that we want to see as players."
Asked when the new expansion might be released, Pearce was typically cagey, sticking to the "not ready till it's ready" mantra Blizzard is famous for.
VideoGamer.com will feature an extended Blizzard interview next Monday.

Adventurer Posts: 336 Joined: 10 Jul 2006 | Why make a sequel?... Why not just expand and alter what is already there. When it comes time up the graphics and game play. Expand the world, alter the world. There is a lot that can be done without dumping the game and making a new one. How about a cataclysm like Gnomergan blowing up and exposing an underground world with races and monsters we haven't seen before. Why not let our characters transcend to levels over 100 with new higher level content and heroic instances. I am glad they aren't thinking sequel... EQII is yucky, and I am not ready to upgrade my computer yet. DM: From the deepest crypts crawls the undead thread, it's death rattle shakes you to your core. What foul necromantic forces brought forth this foul beast.
Cleric: I attempt to turn undead.
DM: You can't this is a WoW forum D&D magic does not work here.
Cleric: Well guys we are @#$%*%!
Wizard: Agreed, I believe this Necrothread was created by a dread ForumLych, impossible to stop, without a sense of humor.
Fighter: Very well I throw a badge or some other posting reward down at the necrothread and prepare a tactical retreat.
DM: The necrothread pauses at your offer, snaps up the reward and slinks off deeper into the internet.
Rogue: Phwew! That was close... I wonder if there are even more ancient Necrothreads ahead of us?
Fighter: We will only know when we continue on our journey through the crypts of Warcry. |
