Jeff Kaplan and World of Warcraft have finally broken up, and oh so close to Valentines Day. Okay, so that sounds more dramatic then it really is. He is really just moving on to develop the new unannounced Blizzard MMO. Unfortunately this announcement didn’t give us any new information on the title, but hopefully it’s taken on a more solid form as Kaplan has decided to devote his time to that project alone. Here’s part of his goodbye message, via the Blizzard forums;
“When all is said and done, WoW is still my favorite game. I play it every day. None of that passion is gone. If anything, it fuels the challenge of making our next MMO even better. We know we have some big shoes to fill. So thank you to everyone who has been so supportive over the years, and likewise, thanks to those who have given us pointed feedback on all areas of the game. Without all of the feedback and participation, WoW would not be the game that it has grown to be. Azeroth truly belongs to you and we’re lucky to have shared in your journey. And as always, I’ll still be lurking on the forums and in the game.
Mostly, I just wanted to say thanks. It has been an absolute honor.”
He then ended with a polite “peace bitches” and raced off to work on the Lost Vikings MMO. While we may have fabricated that last piece, we will keep our eyes on this unannounced project and like the rest of the world, will continue to salivate desperately at the idea of a new Blizzard MMO.
