I sincerely hope that the majority of WoW´s fanbase don´t start AoC..

But, we shall see what happens when AoC comes out because of the fatalities and the gratuitous nudity that will be there I am sure it will attract a plethora or morons.

I don't think WoW will die anytime in the next 15 years.  Look at UO and how far it had come.  WoW is more than 45 times the size of UO player base wise and UO is still alive and kicking it. 

 

WoW will have a slow painless death.  NO mmo will kill it, eventually over time it will just lose subscriptions.  I don't know if any other MMO in history will do what WoW did.  I want to think that some new game will, but I'm not even sure if Blizzard can out-do themselves with this game.

 

We all hate on WoW, but it comes down to one thing.  The more people that play a game, the more that complain/love.  So just be happy that WoW happened, it saved the MMO genre, whether you like it or not.

 

WoW didnt save the mmo genre, it opened it up for alot of non-mmo players. MMO's is a niche gamestyle, but WoW put that style into the mainstream. I do agree that WoW will only be killed by time, or maybe if Blizzard severly screw up their expansion, but that scenario is highly unlikely. The only other way to beat WoW off the throne is to make another mmo almost the same as WoW, cause you'll need mass appeal to outsell WoW. And the masses want predictability and easy gameplay.

We all cry for original gameplay and new thinking, but the sad truth is that the few devs that try to do that will either be shot down early by idiot posters/reviewers(see the Requiem CB trolling thread around here as one example) and bad press or the game just wont sell. Bought Psychonauts off Steam a few days ago. Ok, it a platformer, but its one of the most original platformers I've ever played. Its ahead of its time even today and the funny thing is, the game just didnt sell. So, the lesson learned is that originality dont sell. Just look at all those crappy sport games EA pukes out on the market each year. FIFA and Madden is the same game each year just with better graphics and sound, but they still sell in the millions.

the only logical choice is that another mmo will do it. itll be a long time tho. the other choices are dumb..

The only thing that can defeat WoW is the sequal also made by Blizzard

i said it once and ill say it again, wow will die when the 10 million (or however many now) people who play it  die.

   I play WoW. Actively, as well. I'll agree, it is a poor game when you compare it to, say...Pre-NGE SWG...as so many of us do. But I've never found a match...ever. Not within RP standards, or gameplay standards. I joined WoW in hopes of finding a replacement for the previously stated game.. And even though I did not, I still stay. Why? Even with all of the idiots, the spam that, suddenly, became an issue, all of the dying RP giving way to PvP and raiding, and all of that, I've still yet to play a game where it was as enjoyable. In WoW, I can spend every single questing moment alone, and still do well. I can only quest, never speak to another person, and still have fun. I can raid, if I so wish, if I'd like to stay up to gear standards. And, mostly, I still find active RP, something which I've looked for in Lotr, CoX, even EvE, and did not find nearly as easily..or, really, at all.

   I get to play and level, my way, I still can RP, fairly actively, and I can enjoy the Warcraft world, even if there is not much room for true..choice, as far as the gameplay and game world goes. So...I've settled, let's say. I've taken the Club-Footed Duck over the Beautiful Swan, of gaming, basically, because that Swan is long dead. I'll never have my Zabrak Swordmaster back, and I've accepted that. Really, when you think about, it is not that WoW is bad...it's just not what you really want to play. All we can do is -hope- the next great "SWG" comes out; That fabled sandbox...and pray Sony stays the hell away from it...

I am gonna have to agree with you, I have two mmo accounts right now (Lord of the Rings Online - Lifetime founder and World of Warcraft - montlhy). When I am playing WoW I usually do it solo with all the channels turned off ( I do not belong to a guild). That game has the most immature and that is being nice.

It is impossible to attract worst morons than in WoW, really, you can trust me. I played few mmorpgs but WoW community is unique. Morons, kids, sponger system in looting, I can talk about technical side too but we are talking about people so lets stick to topic. I really wish to all WoW players (oki, most of them) endless fun, new expansions, new epix, new raids. I wish to you guys all the best but please, do not play other games, kkthxbye.

If you really want to know what will kill it is Blizzard's own WoW killer... the infamous "Project: Hydra"!!!!

They will kill one of their own projects by themselves!!
