[Discussion] Blizzard Files Trademark "Cataclysm™"

[WildForce]

 

Cataclysm™, the new expansion of World of Warcraft or just a casual name for a Blizzard product(patch,trade cards?)

 

The identity of Blizzard's unannounced MMO project may have just been revealed. Anonymous gaming news bloodhound superannuation recently uncovered a trio of trademarks from the MMO juggernaut, reserving the name "Cataclysm™" for use in the fields of computer games, online games and paper-based products. We assume that last one doesn't mean Blizzard's dealing in Cataclysm™-branded stationary.

 

Not all Blizzard trademarks turn into actual games (isn't that right, StarCraft: Ghost?  ;D). However, they also noticed that the domain named wowcataclysm.com recently expired and is now held by GoDaddy, who handles all of Blizzard's domains. It looks like "Big Blizz" is up to something, but we might have to wait till BlizzCon to find out what that something IS (you can check the registration at the site provided below).

Is it too soon to start developing a new expansion for the game World of Warcraft since the latest expansion just came out a few months ago? Or do you think that this new Trademark might bring other type of products from Blizzard? Leave your thought conserning to this news.
