Seriously, the only game that's gonna kill WoW is another Blizzard game and it won't happen over night.

Amen to that brother *pre-preorders SC2*

Agree, they need to shut it..  Blizz would have to lose 99.99% of their subs to even fall below market standard.  (Do the math, 10 million subs.)

No game has ever lost that kind of percentage.  Even SWG retains more than that....Blizz is staying for good.

Agreed.

The market is clearly big enough for tons more MMOs to come out and thrive.

warhammer wil do it .

I like W.O.W. but man would I love to see a MMO that was so good it killed W.O.W!

That would be some MMO!!

I think it would have to have all of the elements of WoW, the lore, music, fun pvp, easy to learn crafting, responsive interface...

awesome quests, storyline quests..
I'm not an advocate of this game, I play off and on

After 3 years of WoW, loved it, but finally got bored and quit...still waiting for a replacement...................:(

Doesn't have to kill it. :)

No there isnt enough room for tons more mmo..  WoW has effectively killed the mmo market and become a monopoly. There's laws against it but hell Microsoft has been a monopoly for 20+ and no one has done sh**. Btw 11% of WoW players are under age 13 and another 6% are gold farmers.

There are laws against becoming a monopoly? Yeh its to do with joining with competitors to make yourself so big others cant really compete... But Blizz was 99% more succesful than all MMO's before even the Activision merge... and i think Gaming as a whole would be considered the market and it doesn't dominate that (console, PC and all related genres, racing, sports, MMOs, Shooters). I know longer play WoW but it  was a fun game that opened my eyes to MMO's and i have tried many since. Some crap some very good, but WoW had me for almost 2 and a half years on and off... no other game has done that to me. LOTRO i think i enjoy most at moment but can't help but look at AoC and Warhammer... Even PoTBS has been tempting...

To Zball

No it won't, think about it how long has any Pure PVP game lasted?

@mouser_inc: daoc is still running, so is eve and l2, you make no sense.

wow won't die and it shouldn't, because i really don't want its population in an actually innovative game.

Mouser, if pvp wasnt a big part of every game why does every MMO have it? Even LOTRO who is focused on extreemly casual players have a form of PvP. Lets not forget WAR is NOT a pure PvP game, do some research before you run your mouth :)

No game should kill wow though. I dont want all of that immature kiddy crowed running around in other MMO's. I like that they all gather in one place.

Nobody in his right mind wants WoW to be killed. Retards and cybersluts need a place to be.
