Blizzard fans are a feisty bunch, we know because we once told WoW Insider that their favorite game was "all right" and they gave us a seriously painful noogie. It's hard to blame them though, since the developer consistently puts out amazing games. In the years since World of Warcraft launched and clutched the coveted first place position with its meaty fist, those fans have only become more frenzied. Sooner or later someone is going to come along and manage to pry that first place glory from World of Warcraft's hands and with the recent confirmation that their next-gen MMO is still being worked on, Blizzard is seemingly gunning to be the one to do it.
So we know they've got a new MMO in the works, that's cool. What we don't know is what IP (intellectual property) the game is based upon. So in the spirit of tinfoil hat-wearing fun we've put together a list of all the possible Blizzard IPs -- both past and present -- for your personal enjoyment.

I want to see an original IP from them to be honest. Now that Diablo III is announced it doesn't need to be in MMO form, and I don't think starcraft has enough going for it with MMO content.
Blizzard needs to come up with something new.

World of Herocraft, a new IP to take on DCUO, CoH, Champions, etc.

Starcraft would be the next logical franchise to get a MMO.
