What MMO do you think Blizzard should make next?

I feel it's inevitable that Blizzard will eventually develop and release another MMO. If they do end up doing this down the road, which one do you think they should make? I'm interested in hearing what people have to say!

As much as I'd love to see a new IP, there's little reason to reinvent the wheel.
World of Starcraft could be good, but again they've got so much built up using the Warcraft universe that they can keep going. So WoW2 would be a safe and likely very good game to make.
Oh I didn't mean to shut WoW down or exclude it in any way, this poll was merely asking about a new MMO. Sorry, but I think WoW improvements is a different topic entirely and I don't want them to abandon it in any way!
Personally, I would love to see an MMO in Sanctuary, the Diablo franchise has always had a cool world imo

I'd enjoy a starcraft or diablo mmo. I think star craft would probably be a better choice considering the lack of scifi out there and how over done fantasy is, even if diablo is much darker than most.
A new IP is where they really want to go but considering how titan went....
I'd love to see a Starcraft game, but I doubt Blizzard will do that.
My take on the options:
WoW2: Not going to happen. They can keep updating WoWs engine, and a WoW2 would probably cannibalize way too much of the WoW player base, so I don't see that happening.
Starcraft: That would be cool. Too bad Bliz already said no. But maybe that's what Titan is, except they specifically said Titan isn't based on any existing IP, so it's not.
Diablo: Well, interesting, but I suspect it would fall too close to WoW. They already claim Diablo is an 'RPG', so I don't see them going out of their way to add the rest of what it would need. Still, it could be interesting if it had decent lighting. I don't know about you, but I get bored and frustrated when I can't see past the end of my sword.
New IP: That's what they've said Titan is. Ok, but what is it? They aren't saying, and the wild guesses by the internet crowd is pointless. It could be good, after all, they've always made some great settings. Well just have to wait and see what happens.
Titan is Not based on a previous Bliz IP. So it's not Warcraft, Starcraft, or Diablo based.
They seem to have been hiring programmers with mmo experience when they seem to be doing pushes for Titan dev.
Titans are the mythical forerunners of the gods, and often their opponents. They are accepted to be powerful and huge. How that relates to a computer game could be damn near anything, including an over inflated ego.
Titan may not come out. Bliz has canceled other games when they had already reached the point of talking to the media about it, so there's no guarantee that won't happen again.
Lost my mind, now trying to lose yours...
Interesting results so far, Starcraft would be my second choice btw, then a new IP entirely.
Starcraft would also be able to easily integrate 3 faction warfare as well to get rid of the unbalance all 2 faction games suffer from. Protoss Zealot? Awesome. Terran Marine class anyone?

Titan was shelved last year. Scrapped or nearly so, after all this time. I'm guessing the tech caught up with them as well as someone else beating them to whatever the punch was.
Maybe Titan was a spinoff of the animated movie Titan. If it was then maybe part of the reason it got more or less abandoned was that it was to similar to Wildstar.
I'll wait to the day's end when the moon is high
And then I'll rise with the tide with a lust for life, I'll
Amass an army, and we'll harness a horde
And then we'll limp across the land until we stand at the shore
Alot of people are saying world of Starcraft, I thought we already had something to satisfy "WoW in space"?. really, were talking about WoW with a different skin.

Blizzard will keep dig WOW with an expansion pack each year.
Focus on MOBA of Warcraft/Starcraft/Diablo
"StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void" will be they next work.
No MMOs base on Blizzard's IP will be make until WOW's mine empty .
Titan will be another WOW expansion about the Titans.
After years . i'm sure that Blizzard will never make another new IP,
nah .. the time for traditional MMOs have passed. I doubt Blizz is going to make a new one. They will keep milking wow with expansion though.
But they are already into the current big thing .. MOBAs, and CCG.
And why make Diablo into a MMO? It is already close enough for me.
