Gamers will kill wow..

These days people expect more and more from online games and there comes a time when they are fed up with "5 levels, new epics, and pandas" every ½ year.

WoW Killer, is an ape-like cryptid that purportedly inhabits forests, mainly in the Pacific Northwest region of North America. WoW Killer is usually described as a large, hairy, bipedal humanoid.

Scientists discount the existence of WoW Killer and consider it to be a combination of folklore, misidentification, and hoax,^[3] rather than a living entity, in part because of the large numbers thought necessary to maintain a breeding population.^[4][5] A few scientists have expressed interest and belief in the creature, with the opinion that evidence collected of alleged WoW Killer encounters warrants further evaluation and testing.^[7] The illusive WoW Killer remains one of the more famous examples of a cryptid within cryptozoology, and an enduring legend. 

About a third of all reports of The WoW Killer sightings are concentrated in the Pacific Northwest, with most of the remaining reports spread throughout the rest of North America.^[11][30][31] Some WoW Killer advocates have postulated that WoW Killer is a worldwide phenomenon.

WoW2 anyone?

I dont give a balls about wow because i dont like themepark games so I dont care if it dies or lives.. all i want is for companies to stop trying to copy it and do their own thing.. sicne wow nearly every AAA MMORPG that has been released has basically been a copy of WoW with a few slightly different things.

Companies need to start coming up wit new ideas, why would people leave wow a very stable game with tons of content to go to a new very similar game thats full of bugs and has no real content ?

By a WOW killer I imagine a game the will replace WOW in GB2WOW :-))

A WoW killer is when someone says, "WOW," and a person goes around killing them.  Get it? WOW killer :-p

See you in 2015´s "Why is wow still alive" thread.

I beg you all to answer this question: What computer operating system will kill windows? answer that and we shall have the answer for wow killer...

blizzards next mmo will kill wow

and thats probably the reason they havent released a new one

i recon they would have a 90% of all the players who ever played wow now thats one hell of a lot of buyers

just ask yourself if a new mmo came out  made by blizzard which recived  90%+ reviews would you not buy it

ive not played wow since burning crusade but i would buy a new one

all the people i used to play none of them  still play  now  but  i cant think of one who wouldnt buy a new blizzard mmo

tbh blizzard is sitting on  a cash  cow of a new mmo

To many companies try to copy so much of WOW. Once a company goes back to the old style mmos and all its features and does the opposite of WOW. Then there might be competition. I think so many games are released trying to mimic the WOW game. But they forget to understand WOW did something no other mmo's did before its time: they marketed the kids. Only way i see WOW being killed, is go back to the older genre, and for most it will be new and exciting.

Maybe

A pointless term, used to rile up anger between WoW fans and those who dislike it. WoW's success was as much good timing as great game. Put those together and it is still here today.

There will never be another MMO as big as WoW, simply because MMo players are now like migratory birds flocking from one MMO to another. They will never stay with one MMO long enough to establish it as happened with WoW.

I don't know what a WoW Killer is but I know what it isn't, and it's called Star Wars: The Old Republic.

Not even BioWare could steer away from WoW cloning. We basically got BC-era WoW with a coat of Mass Effect on top. Now I won't lie, I like the game for what it is, but it blows as an MMORPG. It feels like a co-op RPG that runs like a dying turtle. Sigh.

I seriously can't wait for ArcheAge and Guild Wars 2. Now those two names are actually doing alot more to evolve the WoW forumla (or more accurately, the EQ formula.) There's still hope for us jaded MMOers yet.

WoW killer?  Blizzard management.  But perhaps not as one might be thinking.

 

I think the transition process to a WoW 2.0 is already started.  Speed runs of randoms over and over is now the fastest progression in the game.  Once at cap, it's heroics then raids.

 

Given that Blizzard could nerf dungeon runs as the primary leveling choice, and has not, I can only assume that this as the optimal form of leveling is intentional.

 

Grind for XP is gone.  Questing for XP is nearly gone.  WoW 2.0 is (or will be) a lobby based dungeon grinder.

 

disclaimed: gross generalizations are never absolutely true.  Just my opinions based on what I've seen in game.

 

It's because people have tried questing and it's just not fun anymore. We've done our part of questing, whether it's leveling up another character or doing daily's. Questing is boring by itself and is even penalized if you do them in a group. Encouraging players to play together in an MMO isn't a bad idea. If only other game developers would understand that we play to have fun and not to be bored, they could create a lot of potential WoW killers.

The ones that are out now are just a big fat copy/paste joke

With the current addiction I don't see there being a "WoW killer," some people just don't want to leave after all the time they put in.  The things that make WoW good are it's story/well done scripts/ and smooth(easy) gameplay.

The games coming out will only chip away at the Wow community, maybe forever or just temporary.

Boredom is another thing to dwindle the population.  They either grow tired of doing the same thing, the expansion wasn't to their liking, or they just realize there's more to life then on the computer and burn up in the sun.

Time is the biggest killer - More new games come out, maybe blizzard introduces another mmo that draws you away, technology finally overpowers your senses as you see that Wow is mediocre compared to the newer games you've been playing.

But for now WoW's staying, it's size will drop slowly but that will take awhile before it's finally submits.

Panda monks are the WoW killer for me. Of all the cool ideas Blizzard could have chosen, why this?

I suspect a branding PR company came up with this idea.

They're from Warcraft 3. They're nothing new.

After quitting WoW for 4 years, I have just now returned. I dont rush through games, and tend to read every bit of text given to me. Therefore, Cataclysm was very refreshing. It is like meeting up with an old friend again, and catching up on what has happened over the years. After trying just about everyting on the market, WoW is the only game that can cater to my playstyle. I work 12, sometime 13 hour days, yet I am able to log in to WoW 2 hours a night and feel a sense of accomplishment. Even though there are other games on the market that may be able to do the same thing, there are none that have the amount of content offered by Blizzard.

What the hell is wrong with you posting that picture of "road kill" in a gaming thread? Is a flattened dead animal with its guts showing really needed to make a point?

 

Agreed. That picture was a display of extremely tasteless humor. There are plenty of other ways (graphical or not) mr. Sanicky could use in order to get his point across.
