http://pc.ign.com/articles/920/920766p1.htmlBlizzard CEO and co-founder Mike Morhaime recently confirmed the existence of an upcoming, non-World of Warcraft MMO. "It's not going to be a World of Warcraft sequel," said Morhaime to blog.wired.com.
When asked how different the project would be from WoW, Morhaime paused, and replied "It's gonna be different." After being pressed some more about the differences, he reiterated his stance, "…let's just say it's going to be different and it's not going to be a sequel to World of Warcraft. It will be different."
While Blizzard's upcoming "next-gen MMO" isn't a secret, the company has posted various job listings for the project on its official web site, we now have confirmation that the title is not a WoW sequel.
Even though project details are still sketchy, here's what Blizzard is looking for from some of its 3D level designers, 3D character artists, 3D environment artist, and more:
- The ideal candidate has extensive experience modeling and texturing a diverse visual range of characters and creatures at a senior or lead level.
- The ideal candidate has experience concept drawing and illustrating a diverse visual range of characters, creatures, weapons, architecture, and environments. An exceptional understanding of form, structure, color, and light is essential, as is a creative imagination.
- An exceptional understanding of human and creature anatomy and a keen eye towards form, shape, structure, and silhouette in regards to illustration and design.
- Understanding of the distinctive Blizzard Entertainment visual style and a passion to push it to the next level.
- Have shipped AAA PC or console titles as a concept artist.
IGN has contacted Blizzard for more details on the project, but the company is very tight-lipped about the game at the moment.

Eh, it looks like that WoW is not popular enough.
