Blizzard willing to work with Bungie on MMO

In case you hadn't heard, Bungie are now in bed with Activision. And in case you've been living under a rock for the past few years, Blizzard, World of Warcraft creators, and Activision merged in 2008. Once upon a time, Bungie were working on a cancelled Halo MMO project under Microsoft, and lately there have been rumors of Bungie re-exploring a project in the genre.

Now Rob Pardo, Blizzard's executive vice president of game design, said in an interview with Edge that "Activision is in the family and Bungie is doing stuff for Activision. If they called us up and wanted some advice or wanted to have a conversation, absolutely".

More specifically, when asked if Blizzard would provide customer service for a Bungie MMO, he said "I really have no idea -- that's a lot of speculation. It's possible, I guess." He followed on to say that "As far as whether I'd welcome a Bungie MMO, I certainly would as a gamer".
