A Diablo MMORPG would make the most sense, since the Diablo franchise is already an part of the RPG genre. If you think about how MMORPG's work, it fits the bill.

Starcraft would be highly unlikely. For one, Starcraft II is already on the horizon as an RTS. And for two, I just can't see it being an MMORPG. Warcraft worked because the two waring factions are pretty much humanoid based and have all the same abilities. Can't say that for Starcraft. How many people want to play a Zergling? You run around and slash at things, but that is it? Each and every character inside Starcraft is extremely limited in functionality because the game requires the units to interact with each other to provide strength. That does not lend itself well to a translation in MMORPG.

Lastly... it is time for Diablo.

With the Warcraft series you had World of Warcraft.

With the Starcraft series, we now await the announced Starcraft II

With the Diablo series? We have nothing on the horizon... but in reality, I believe a Diablo MMORPG is in the works.
