What do you think will be announced at BlizzCon 2007?

- StarCraft 2: We know there will be a playable version there, but what else will we find out?
- Diablo 3: There have been rumors floating around the net about Diablo 3 for quite some time, and this would be the perfect opportunity for Blizzard to announce it.
- The upcoming MMO: Blizzard has hired some MMO developers specifically for a "next-gen" MMO (read: not World of Warcraft). Hopefully we'll get some juicy details on what they're working on!
- Movie(s): I hope to hear some more detail on the upcoming World of Warcraft movie, and perhaps confirmation to the rumored Diablo movie.
- The next expansion: I fully expect Blizzard to announce the next World of Warcraft expansion at BlizzCon this year -- though how many details they'll have we can only guess.

I bet it will be all about StarCraft 2, but i hope they will at least release the name and the setting of the upcoming WoW expansion.

They'll definitely announce the next expansion. The rest...I doubt.
Don't think they'll announce a new Diablo game, because WoW still has enough life in it to last a long time, and a Diablo game would directly compete with WoW and pull players from it, which is something they definitely don't want to do.
More Starcraft 2 stuff for sure. They'll probably release new info about either the Terrans or the Zerg, like they have already for the Protoss.

I highly doubt they would make diablo 3 a mmorpg, but a traditional hack and slash rpg like the other two were. Therefore, it would not be directly competing with WoW. You can even say releasing Starcraft 2 would compete with WoW...

I would guess a board game, breakfast cereal, a Horde endorsement deal for the NFL (since most linemen look like Orcs and Tauren) and another endorsement deal with Paris Hilton since she looks like the Undead.

The Lost Vikings... enough said.

Both Diablo 3 and a preview of the next WoW expansion. Watch the red guy lurking in the dark behind the SC2 and WoW toons on the BlizzCon 2007 banner ;)

I hope they will announce the next expansion for WoW and a few details on what it will be about. They did say "one expansion per year", but since BC came in January 2007, the next one can come in December 2008, but I hope this is not the case. WoW is getting stale so they have to push content quicker.
I think it's to early for Blizzard to start announcing their next MMO, but I think they are definitely working on one. I hope its a StarCraft MMO.

It's interesting that so many people associate Diablo 3 with an MMO. Who said that? :)

Wow has so many subscribers (still) that ANY game they now publish, save another wow expansion, will inevitably pull players from WoW. Blizz knows this, they aren't idiots when it comes to marketing (they'll do their utmost to have the expansion ready by the holidays I bet)

starcraft mmo would be fabulous! i wonder how many races/classes there would be?

Most likely it will be either a big set of VR goggles and a feel-a-round suit equipped with blades and boxing gloves that actually cut/hit you when you're fighting in-game -- or the hugely popular (but not in the undercity) SMELL-O-VISION with USB nose cannula to carry the smell of WoW right into your nose. Obviously it's going to be one of those.

heh starcraft MMO would be godly... which race to play, zerg or protoss... lo

I quit for a few months, came back again for a bit, didn't care for the game again, canceled again...
Hope the next xpack is better, cause BC sucked...
p.s. don't make guilds scale to 25man content then shove them through a 10man instance...
