Add enough non combat fluff and RPish elements and lore and that game will be a hit.
Titan has been cancelled.

Yeah I think that EQN will definitely be the test of a truly new and groundbreaking MMO. Not saying it will be a hit, but at least they are trying something new that has not been done before. In both the world design and the NPC AI and how it all ties together. If you thnk about it, it will be the first truly new groundbreaking major innovation to the genre since EQ brought the first true 3D world. Im looking forward to seeing this game in its full fruition.

Not an issue as both Xbox and PS4 won't allow players from different billing systems to play with each other.
Also, both teams paid through their nose to have Destiny on console so unless Valve forks out serious co-marketing funds it won't come to PC.

There was a discussion in 2010 about a possible World of Warcraft 2. At the time it was more kind of a pie in the sky question like "if it were to be made how it could look like and why would you have two MMOs instead of one?"

It'll be interesting to see what the ex-Titan team have been working on. In 5 years. That's a lot of leftover assets.
Most of them are back on WoW, which is one of the reasons why WoD is running late (mythical man-month and all that).

What they don't mention is that their plan included heavy integration with Facebook. Elements of Titan were going to be fucking Facebook games. The gameplay was also really bad. Think TF2 against NPCs without any kind of depth to the combat. Some of the game mechanics for Titan were tried out inside WoW (micro transactions, farmiville, etc).

It makes more sense when you realize the world wasn't wholly made up of the PC game. Managing your house or shop or whatever could very easily translate into a Facebook game.
I actually think a mixture of casual and "hardcore" elements with co-dependency could be really fun. Has anyone tried it before?
Edit: To clarify, I mean like crafting raid quality gear requires materials you can only acquire via FB game and the FB game requires something from dungeons/raids or whatever. Whether it would actually be fun, I couldn't say. Obviously whatever Blizzard came up with wasn't up to their standards, but I'm not sure that that completely invalidates the... theory?
