Originally posted by TangentPoint I think you have people from all MMO's, WoW included, that have the inclination to speak in hyperboles and extremes while ignoring the other stuff. As for GW2, there isn't any subs to measure, so the only figures that can be regarded is sales and player activity figures, like PCU for example. Player activity figures for GW2 are pretty good still, but ofc they won't beat the player activity figures of a WoW with 10 mln subs. I think it's a smart thing for MMO gamers to do, to see figures in their context: sales is just sales, not subs, there is a difference between 1st day sales and 1st week sales or 1st month sales, and Chinese WoW subs don't mean the same as non-Chinese subs even if they're thrown on the same heap. It may also explain why it looks like the player activity figures of WoW comes far closer to other games like GW2 than the proclaimed 10 mln subs gives reason to suspect. |

WoW is still considered a good game by many standards. Sure the graphics look old but then again I'm sure if you visit a friend after not seeing them for seven year, a lot has changed, unless they dropped money into beauty products or body modification. GW2 is also a good game by many standards. Each have their flaws but all in all I can't dsay GW2 is a WoW killer. To me a WoW Killer would have to be a game that makes me quit WoW on a financial level. I still pay $15 a month for WoW and I also play GW2. The WoW killer will have to be a subscription based MMO imo. It'll have to pull that $15 a month from Blizzard. Even with everyone shouting F2P, F2P is not the way to go most of the time. F2P usually means I'm not getting some of the same quality of content (not including Star Trek Online or LotRO. They still get good content updates.). So actually, if you look at it. Either a subscription based game will have to come along to take the money or the player base would have to take a big enough hit that the players themselves killed WoW. But seeing that the subscription numbers went from 9.1 million to over 10 million with the release of MoP, I doubt that will happen any time soon.

Originally posted by FrodoFragins Word. filmoret: One thing I have never figured out is why the game devs hardly ever fix simple problems that arise. It is like they don't care about the pvp community. Nitth: What makes you so sure its a simple fix? filmoret: Because most of them are. Sometimes its just changing a number in a code string other times its creating a few variables. However none of them should take over a few hours of coding. |

There is absolutely no WoW killer currently out or due to come out. WoW will kill itself in the end. When will that happen? No one knows.

Sad thing is that the day Blizzard shut the doors of WoW for good, it's a very likely chance that 90% of all current mmos as of today will be shut down before it. Kinda like saying the sun will burnout before a bonfire.

By Metacritic Score:
World of Warcraft, Mists of Panderia: 83 http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/world-of-warcraft-mists-of-pandaria
Guild Wars 2: 91
http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/guild-wars-2
Problem solved. By today's standards, Guild Wars 2 is more critically received than that of what WoW is dishing out. No, not by 7 years ago standand; today's standard.

Since it's obvious that English is your second language (or at least not your first), I'll just help you out and let you know that your thread title is incorrect. It should be "So did this BECOME the WoW killer as we all read?"
As for the thread itself, the poll is biased and troll-like and the thread is pointless and ridiculous. President of The Marvelously Meowhead Fan Club |

Originally posted by Morninglord No it isn't. Not even close. If people who added nothing constructive to posts were trolls, half the internet would be banned. no GW2 won't kill WoW, but it's time to move on and quit worrying about those people still playing it. - eyelolled |

Just want to point this out, seeing as people keep quoting numbers.... GW2 cracked the 2mil mark 2 weeks after release. SWTOR also cracked 2 million sales, and reported 1.7 mil subs after its first month. MoP...an expansion pack to an 8 year old game that has lost more subs than both games mentioned above currently have as an active player base combined...sold 2.7 million copies...its first week...go figure... |
