Hope he's creative enough to come up with something different rather than simply repackage WoW.

world of starcraft

world of diablo

blizz started with warcraft and was a huge success in the gaming development of rts.
then came starcraft- same style, diff genre.

then came along diablo, where it's a rpg style.. and was huge success with the d2 and Lod.

then wow came, which was a mixture of rts warcraft and rpg diablo.

i don't think they would go and recreate a new genre, theme, storyline where starcraft and diablo have so much yet to be developed..

i'm betting world of starcraft,
because diablo has the similar feel of the current wotlk- gothik and demonic style..

WoS on the other hand, will be awesome change of landscape, for factor and skins from wow.

also.. if im not wrong wow was released right about 2 years warcraft 3 and frozen throne was launched..
i guess its all storylne storyline storyline...i myself am a fan of it.

oh well i'm merely making things up.. what do you think?

zerg fan. zerg ftw!!!zerglings rush!

"nuclear bomb detected"

then came starcraft- same style, diff genre.
I think you meant diff style same genre lol...
