Here's my opinion:

1) No way in hell is the new Blizzard MMO going to be new IP. Think about it... is Blizzard really going to spend millions investing in a new MMO (time/effort, people, equipment, etc.) that is unproven as a popular, much less financially viable title? Of course not.

2) World of Warcraft 2? Doubtful; not until they see the current WOW floundering, which is probably at least 5-10 years off.

3) The most likely candidate is Universe (not World) of StarCraft. Think about it... there are no "giant" sci-fi MMOs like WOW (not even Eve, which according to Wikipedia has around 220K active accounts) which would make Blizzard a standout in a new MMO genre. Also, StarCraft is not only wildly popular, but monetarily successful franchise as well.
