Everything that could be done on Wow has been done by many. Extending the level cap to 85  is the very least...notice I said the least Blizzard could do to extend the life of Wow...how sad for a strong Gamemaker such as Blizzard and a strong game like Wow...

I consider myself the furthest thing from a WoW fanboy possible without being a raging hate-spammer. I can't stand the game, and I am generally very incompatible with people who think highly of it....

That said, even if WoW were now on its last legs (which I don't see happening for another couple years, at least), it would have had a very respectable run as the top dog of subscription counts and the MMO that everyone knows.

Further, once it does flounder and decline into more obscurity as EverQuest did, it'll keep breathing for years afterward. As EverQuest has.

WoW is still going strong and now with catalysm they will re model the landscape making everything new to adventure in. add two new races to do with to boot. also only mmo coming in the future that could take #1 from what i seen so far from the mmo trailers of future mmo's is star wars old republic. if SW:TOR can't knock off WoW as #1 then theres no hope to do so any time soon. WoW will fall someday like everquest thats clear it's matter of when and by what. i think WoW os okay mmo i don't hate nor think it's the best mmo out there but it is ranked #1 by the industry.

Ultima Online is still going after 12 years...

Everquest is still going after 10 years...

Asheron's Call is still going after 10 years...

Anarchy Online is still going after 8 years...

The most popular MMO ever created...is not close to dying after just 5 years.

Very true, im not a huge fan of the game myself but you have to appreciate whats its done for the MMO industry.

Even on it's last legs, if it lost 75% of all active subscribers...it would *still* crush practically every MMO out there, and rightfully so, because the vast majority of those games are complete garbage. 

One thing you have to consider...before WoW, MMOs were a niche market, for a certain..."special" type of person.  I was never that big into MMOs prior to WoW, not because I thought the games were difficult or hard...but because I thought the people that played them were annoying losers.  MMOs are not, nor ever were, difficult...merely time consuming.  But  WoW made MMOs mainstream, and more palatable to the masses.  Many of those people would just as easily give up the genre altogether if they quit WoW.  They aren't addicted to the genre, they are addicted to WoW.  So thinking that if WoW died, all those people would just up and switch games...that's a laughable concept.

You cannot kill something that is played by those, who have no lives.

This is insightful. On the other hand... you have Aion breaking records with preorders. What was it? 400k? What do you make of that? Is that not a sign that the masses that have been reached by WoW have been introduced to the genre, and are now looking - desperately looking one might say - for more WoW in a somewhat different package. And from what I've read this is exactly what Aion gives them.

I think it will be very interesting to see what happens with SW:TOR.

If you hadn't just picked out the level cap change as the only reason, which is pretty much a secondary feature of this expansion then it may be worth more of an answer, but..........

It must be Thursday, i never could get the hang of Thursdays.

No no.. its.. you cannot kill that that does not bleed.

But do you trust something that bleeds 7 days straight once a month and never dies?

The answer is yes, and you never question as to why.

Don't feed the troll.

People - the OP only bothered to write a couple of lines. It's not a well developed argument. It doesn't make any kind of rational sense. Don't feed it.
