What's this Next Gen MMO?

Blizzard's next MMO or Next-Gen MMO as referred by Blizzard has been in the shadow for years, the first evidence of its existence was a job ad listing in Blizzard's site mid of 2007. Since then, through official sources here is what we know about Blizzard's top secret MMO:

• It's not going to be a WoW expansion.
• It will be based on a brand new IP (new story & lore).
• Several people of the WoW team have joined Next Gen MMO's team.
• This MMO targets to a broader audience than WoW.
• Clues from job ads indicate that it will be a Science Fiction/Sci Fi MMO. In the past Kaplan, who revealed he is involved in the project, was asked if the game's genre would be science fiction, post-apocalyptic, or historical, and while laughing he responded: "all of those combined!"" ^[1]

Rumors

GRANDEST RUMOR: Blizzard's Next Generation MMO to be announced on BlizzCon 2010.

At some point it was said that this MMO could be:

• World of Warcraft 2 or World of Warcraft Expansion
• Starcraft Ghost MMO
• Another StarCraft MMO
• A Call of Duty MMO

Currently it's believed that the unannounced MMO will have elements from FPS (Shooting MMO), while probably it will use a third person point of view. Even if that is the case, the characterization "Next Gen" implies that it won't be similar to anything we know so far.
