World of Warcraft

Ever since the intro to resilience, the pvp game and pve game are completely seperate. Its almost like two different games now. It looks to me like WoW is going to end up killing its self similar to what happened with swg, but over a longer time scale. Its sad because a person on the wow forums brought up the topic of resillence destroying the game and a dev (blue) replied by saying, we understand your concern and we will be adding superior items(blues) w/ resisilience to more reputation vendors. It just goes to show that WoW is allways going to be a endless grinding game and eventually people are going to see through this and move to other mmos.

Without a continious cycles of new and improved items entering the game people will very shortly max out their characters. The resulting stagnation as nothing new entered would be far worse than having to actually play the game on a regular basis to keep you uber status.

New gear NEEDS to enter on a regular basis to keep the game fresh, and it has to surpass older gear in some fashion or it is meaningless.

WoW will never die.  Considering games like UO, EQ1 and Lineage 1 are still running, I can't fathom WoW dying in the near future.  What's really scary is, WoW has the potential to outlive it's creators...

Old topic is old.

WoW is going to die in a few years...

Its nothing Like EQ or UO, dont even kid yourself.

I hope WoW keeps million of people since it shows mmo's can make mad money.  Although, I think you are right on one level that the next exp in WoW they are putting in the jedi class.  I think the jedi class destoryed SWG, they needed to have it be not in the game or a beginning class.  The whole I want to be the only jedi really caused people to act like door knobs.

WoW will die when Blizzard comes out with their next MMO IMO - it's just too popular. But yeah I agree that Reselliance runied that game. i remeber when the only Epic gear you saw was from raiding MC and now Epic gear is the norm (thanks wellfare PvP).

Your right, wow is much, much better and will probably out-live those games ten fold.

I have no idea how WOW will die, but i have a feeling that i will pop my clogs still reading these 'death of WOW' posts 40 years from now!
