As proven by the D3 team...It's pretty amazing to me that with a team of 100+ ppl working on this since 2009 and still nothing has leaked.
Sure they have NDAs and shit, but programmers and developers of all people surely know how to post on message boards without being traced and found out.
HEUHEUHDIUHIUDHIUSHDUHSDUISHDIUSHDUSHDUSHUDHSI, nice one...
The most they'll probably do is offer a discount for those paying WoW & Titan at the same time...
It's going to be free to play.HEUHEUHDIUHIUDHIUSHDUHSDUISHDIUSHDUSHDUSHUDHSI, nice one...

Ask MHC if he plays all the games he buys.Who the heck could have enough time on their hands to play two MMOs properly?
Why's this surprising? They haven't done anything yet. Since there is no actual game, what is there to "leak"? In fact, you're the only person I've heard even mention anything. Personally, I'm not sure if this isn't something YOU made up. There is not, after all, an actual game anywhere, and since you're the first person I've heard say anything and you're not Blizzard, it doesn't even qualify as propaganda...just random nonsense from YOU.It's pretty amazing to me that with a team of 100+ ppl working on this since 2009 and still nothing has leaked.

just got to do a playtest in Titan - pretty rough still, but lots of fun too!
Titan (Blizzard Entertainment project)
Titan is the project name for a massively multiplayer online game (MMO) being developed by Blizzard Entertainment. Speculation regarding the game began in 2007. The company has revealed little information about the game besides that it is completely new and that the developers achieved a playable version in 2011.
Development
In 2007, users on a Blizzard Internet forum speculated that the game was in development after the company published job listings for character and environment artists to work on a "Next-Gen MMO" that was "Top Secret." A Blizzard community representative confirmed that the postings were for an unannounced game that was not an expansion for World of Warcraft.[1] Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick, Blizzard COO Paul Sams, and Blizzard CEO Mike Morhaime all verified that it was a new game in 2008.[2][3][4][5] A confidential project schedule was released without the company's consent in November 2010. It showed a project titled "Titan" with a release date in the fourth quarter of 2013. Blizzard China's general manager either resigned or was terminated after the leak.[6]
At the 2010 Spike Video Game Awards, Blizzard co-founder Frank Pearce told gaming blog Destructoid that the studio had begun talking about the title as a recruitment tool.[7] Morhaime spoke of the game in broad terms during a panel discussion at the 2011 D.I.C.E. Summit. He said that the company had its most experienced MMO developers working on the project. He explained that they were using lessons from the years of working on World of Warcraft, and he also emphasized the significance of players gaming with people they know as opposed to strangers. Morhaime believes that World of Warcraft and Titan, upon its release, will be able to co-exist on the market.[8] He had made a similar statement in 2008 when he told Wired magazine that the game would be so different that it would not compete.[9]
In an interview with Gamasutra in March 2011, Sams, revealed that the game was playable and laid out a vision for the project to "still be growing strong" in 10, 15 or 20 years, having "set a new mark in the industry."[10] By September 2012, development had grown from small teams focusing on concepts to a team of over 100 people. Blizzard vice president of game design Rob Pardo said that the game was "in the middle of development at this point."[11]
Warcraft (which was a rip off of dune, but a well done one).
It will be cancelled like the Warcraft adventure game.
IMHO there's no difference between the mindset of the MMO player and the Facebook user.Sounds like a facebook game.
Interdasting.
I had forgotten all about this thread. It appears it was I, ANDHAIRA, to be the first to post real news about Titan on the 'dex.
So, latest info seems to validate my post in the OP. The game will be FPS derived, thus lending credibility to the fact that it could be set on a future earth. Still the concept could certainly have...'evolved' over the time that passed.
Exactly my thoughts. Blizzard must have some crazy military organisation.It's pretty amazing to me that with a team of 100+ ppl working on this since 2009 and still nothing has leaked.
I will end with this tidbit though, Blizzard has been on record saying that Titan would be a new IP. Its not, its a spin off of an existing franchise ...
Above links claim it's a spin-off and not a purely new IP. I don't really care either way, to be honest, a good game is good no matter the IP (unless Twilight), while a bad game will be shit no matter what Star Wars title it'll be having.In cannot be a SC spinoff because it would not be a new IP.
