Removed, I read the post wrong.

 

[Nincompoop]

I would guess the recession would end..

 

[rokkolpo]

most likely suicide for that,s the only life they know.

 

[Lord Mountbatten Reborn]

I don't know about you but I'd get over it.

 

[El Poncho]

They would find another mmo probably.

 

[Milkatron]

They would find another mmo probably.

This. If all MMOs died, however, a few things would happen.

Obesity would decline
Online multiplayers (ala Battlefield) would be played more
Blizzard would go out of business

 

[StarStruckStrumpets]

I would laugh.

Others would cry at the amount of time and effort they wasted. I guess...

 

[Dudemeister]

Play other MMO's ?
They're not the only ones you know.

 

[Archaon6044]

meh. i'd find some other way to waste my time

 

[n00beffect]

Ahhh it would be GREAT!!! FUCKING AWESOME MAAAN and blizzard too please blizzard too but only after they've released SC2 deal ? YESS !

Pretty sure they have enough stored away to cover the new Starcraft and Diablo. If they don't I'm fucking impressed with how much they spend.

Suppose alot of normal RPGs would either be played or get made more?

Not everyone is ready to be unplugged, some people are so inert, so hopelessly dependant on the system that they will fight to protect it.

Cookie for the reference.

 

[mannaroth]

Starcraft would kill the universe.

 

[Perryman93]

large numbers of people would be forced to find....a life!!!

Uh, I dont think so. It just means that everyone playing WoW would hop over to Diablo 3 and Starcraft 2 when they come out. (If you say Diablo is an MMO, you need to delete all gaming accounts, sell your pc/consoles, because 8 people playing at one time in a single game lobby is in no shape or form "massive") I know for a fact that Starcraft 2 is done, as far as the game goes, but Blizzard wants to improve the online features before they ship it.

I suppose, depending on how long it would take for the two games to be finished, they could go out due to a lack of funding for development. But, I think that if they really had to, they'd ship SC2 early and just have a downloadable online-upgrade, similar to all the buggy patches they make for WoW.

The world would be much more productive.

 

[Fortesque]

Id stop playing Guild Wars and start playing TF2 and L4D more

 

[Satin6T]

The world would become a better place

until they(blizzard) came up with something better

which currently means Starcraft 2!!!

F*#K YEAH
