At the recent Blizzcon event Wired caught up with Blizzard CEO Mike Morhaime and quizzed him about the developer's next MMO.

"It's not going to be a World of Warcraft sequel," said Morhaime. "It's gonna be different."

He added: "... let's just say it's going to be different and it's not going to be a sequel to World of Warcraft. It will be different.

"We're not trying to replace World of Warcraft with this new MMO. We're trying to create a different massively multiplayer experience, and hopefully World of Warcraft will still be going strong when that one is released."
