talk about creating the perfect storm to destroy WoW?

I'm excited for these 3 games as much as the next guy but there are a few problems with your claim.

1. These three will NOT destroy WoW, WoW will die a slow death.
2. If they release on the same day then they will destroy each other as people wont buy all 3 at once.  Its better they are released sepearatly to give people a chance to play all three

You and a lot of other people need a new obsession. Wow will die when it dies. even if woW exists it's not stopping you from playing the games you want to play. Looking forward to checking out those games though but not on the same day.

i would like to see which got the highest pop if they did :(

Wrong!! Buying all 3, will play all 3, will stay with which ever its best   +GW2 as it has no sub...

oh dont forget archeage, planetside 2, and a buttload of console games I'll be grabbing too..

1. it wont destroy WoW b/c most of the sub are in China.

2. It will destroy Swtor.  800k sub by March, 300k when all 3 launched.

I hope you aren't representing the majority of gamers. Cause if you are,imagine how that makes us poor greeks feel like.

I just hope that GW2 releases at least a month away from TSW cause i want to play both.

Edit: And yeah,who cares about wow... let the people that still enjoy it have their fun.

You really do not know the WoW playerbase all that well obviously. You just listed 3 games with no instanced raiding content at all and one is B2P, so there is not to much of a reason to drop the WoW sub.

If anything that would make it 10's easier for Blizzard to plan. The reason WoW is taking these hits is because of how these staggered launches are coming one after another.

Stop beating the dead horse. How many times now? firstly they are not releasing the same day but even if they did, it won't matter for WOW. Like always players will try the game and go back playing WOW like they always do.

Really they lost close to 2 million players in the last year and have yet to post a gain in subs. Either people are taking there sweet time going back or this logical fallacy is finally being proven wrong.

Sorry to knock you off that high horse, but more then a few WoW players who came to Rift are never going back. Trion is like Morpheus of the mmorpg realm freeing one mind at a time from the matrix.

Yeah you are the one to talk about logical fallacies. 

Trion is like Morpheous, freeing one mind at a  time and losing servers in process. lol

Not so sure of that. Yeah you'll get some that return but I see more that don't return at all. We had a guild of about 80 players from about 7 years ago. By the time I quit a year ago it was down to me and one other out of the original 80.

LOL  sorry had a windfall and enjoying having real money for the first time in my life... I gotta say having money sure beats the hell outta not having it.

Judging from the fact that new games like SWTOR are growing rapidly while old ones like WoW are not declining as fast, I'd say the overall mmo playerbase is expanding. New games are drawing in new players more effectively than they are stealing from old ones. The "killing" may never really happen. WoW did not kill EQ, Lineage etc, it outperformed them. Same may happen again.

Hey as long as people do not go back to WoW. I laugh at people who leave Rift then go back to WoW and cry for stuf fthey had and get completely ignored.

Just like the ones who left for TOR and are not man enough to admit they screwed up by leaving. Now they sit on the TOR forums making the community toxic crying for stuff they used to have and can not explain why Bioware is not Trion.

The simple fact is WoW is dying and no matter what Blizz throws at the playerbase to trick then into subbing it is going down. The genre has been completely stagnated for 7 years. It will be a glorious day when the WoW playerbase does not dictate every move a dev makes.

Thanks for telling us the obvious that a 7 year old game is slowly dying.

I think that day has already begun. We can already see from the upcoming mmos that they aren't following in WoW's footsteps.

get over it people,WoW is not going to "die"

take a look at Everquest,UO,and Asherons Call...these games have been going for OVER A DECADE and counting..

just get over it.

Why ppl are so focused on killing wow. I want just different mmorpgs for everyone s playstyle like in pre 2004 era. You had daoc ,eq,lineage,uo ,ac and shadowbane and not a single one was like the other and today all feel the same.

If you want to cripple those 3 games

Yeah go ahead

Unless everyone have tons of money to buy the 3 on day one their profit won't be maximized
