While World of Warcraft continues to reign over the MMO throne, the rumour mills are once again churning thanks to a recent post over at
VentureBeat, which claims that Blizzard's yet-to-be-announced massively multiplayer title codenamed "Titan" has been delayed until 2016 at the earliest.
The news comes as a source familiar to the project has told VentureBeat that the project has been "reset", citing that of the 100 positions on the development team 70 have now been reassigned to other projects like Diablo 3, Blizzard All-Stars and StarCraft 2. What is left has now been told to "start over on Titan" according to the source.
Blizzard has yet to comment on the rumours, however it will definitely be interesting if these do turn out to be true, as the company has previously "restarted" certain projects like StarCraft and Warcraft 3. At the end of 2010 Blizzard's co-founder and executive Vide President, Frank Pearce,
confirmed the existence of the title and its codename at the Spike TV Video Game Awards and just
earlier this year rumours appeared revealing several tidbits of information.
Let the rampant speculation begin!

In a statement, Blizzard spokesman Shon Damron said, “We’ve always had a highly iterative development process, and the unannounced MMO is no exception. We’ve come to a point where we need to make some large design and technology changes to the game. We’re using this opportunity to shift some of our resources to assist with other projects while the core team adapts our technology and tools to accommodate these new changes. Note that we haven’t announced any dates for the MMO.”

Another one is ..... all of THE sudden instead of all of A sudden. Oh and when they do something BY accident its ON accident, this is one thats extremely common but bugs me less.

Verily, a "gotcha" moment.
Hopefully this clears up any confusion and I apologise sincerely for any emotional distress I have caused the good readers of this forum.

I have never heard of "on accident" being used. I did some quick googling and they mention that it has historically been "by accident" and "on accident" is a new thing.

"Taipan, I truly feel your pain.
I have to restrain myself from yelling "OH SO YOU DO CARE, THEN!!" when people here say it."
Creepy and Taipan nailed it 100% ^^
The one I can't stand is 'then' and 'than' being misused. Such as "This car is better then that one". It's so common and this is primary school Englis** I have even seen this misused repeatedly in newspapers (and by one Ausgamers editor regrettably). Drives me fkn insane.
