You'll be able to make multiplayer using cloud data.

You can, but it loads every 2 seconds. So unless the scratch team changes the way that cloud variables work, then they will be ludicrously slow as shown in the project that bobbybee created. I believe that a better way for them to work as someone else said would be to send a message whenever they change. Then there would be no use for these blocks besides the simplicity of them.

Sorry, but 3D will never come to scratch and I don't think they will have LAN.

So the multiplayer variables update every two seconds? How come you know that?

Yes you did. That doesn't mean I don't believe it. :p

Read the sticky before suggesting.

7. Scratch 3D
Mawile suggested this, so credit to him.
Now, the point is that many people have been suggesting spinoffs to Scratch that use 3D, as you can tell by the name of this suggestion. Just mentioning, so there's no need to throw pies at me.
Technoguyx put a post on shortly after one of the suggestions:technoguyx wrote:
Already suggested a lot of times, and will probably never be done.
You can use StarLogo TNG which is similar: http://education.mit.edu/drupal/starlogo-tngArchmage posted after him...
archmage wrote:
Starlogo is pretty much the same as scratch, but in 3d... or that is what it looks like from the pictures.
And down some more, coolstuff agrees with technoguyx.

I just don't htink it will ever happen. It takes up too much time and resources, which frankly the Scratch team doesn't have.

That should explain a lot. The problem is, I didn't see any members of the Scratch Team reply, so I don't know what they'd say. But the posters mentioned have points, and they should be taken seriously.
EDIT: mathematics has provided some links:
1, 2, 3, 4.
