There have been rumours floating around for ages now about what [Blizzards](http://www.blizzard.com/) next gaming project will be. Most people are hoping for a new RTS game based on either the [Starcraft](http://www.blizzard.com/starcraft/) or [Diablo](http://www.blizzard.com/diablo2/) worlds. Unfortunately, it looks as though it may be another MMO (/groan). [Kotaku](http://kotaku.com/) recently posted about the rumours of a [Starcraft based MMO](http://kotaku.com/gaming/nooooooooooo%21/starcraft-mmo-coming-say-sources-257902.php) and judging by the comments to that post a lot of people don’t sound very impressed.

Personally, I can’t see a need for another MMO from blizzard at the moment. [World of Warcraft](http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/) is going fine and making Blizzard a truckload of money. The only reason I can see for Blizzard to turn the Starcraft world into an MMO would be to try to pull in all the fans of Starcraft who currently don’t play World of Warcraft. Why not just stick with a RTS based game? The world needs decent single person games (with multiplayer options), not more MMO’s.

Was only a matter of time I guess. Blizzard have teamed up with First National Bank of Omaha to create [World of Warcraft Visa cards](http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/visa/). It’s kind of amazing the impact that [World of Warcraft](http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/) is having on the world. The largest and biggest money making game of the decade and it just seems to be getting bigger and bigger.

How long before they customise it and allow you to get your personalised World of Warcraft character printed on the card?
