World of Warcraft

Haven't read any posts here but., my 5 cents to the OPs question is. I don't want it to die. Please let the majority of the Wow community stay right where they are.

No other MMORPG comes even close to the polishment and choices of play this game has to offer inits end game.

MMORPG.COM is ALL about moaning 19 year old frustrated guys who think they know what a MMORPG should be.

The end result is what you see: 10.7 million paid subs and rising even as we speak.

WotLK will do for ORGANISED and BALANCED world PvP what TBC did for Arena PvP.

Of course the fact that you don't find any information on WotLK on MMORPG.COM is proof these forums are habited by the most fervent marginal % of Wow haters on the planet.

The result is these Wow haters play old, non polished,closed up  and very badly developped products which are far behind anything Blizzard is already planning.

Just ONE example: WAR doesn't even have flying units, nor underwater worlds, NO mounted combat.

Blizzard already confirms: Air bombardments over the players battlefields, sea battles AND party manned tanks, together with ALL the artillery siege weapons they had in WC3.

Now THAT is what I call PvP.

 

 

 

Sorry we know Blizzard's idea of world pvp.  It's a boring joke aimed at keeping all the pvp secluded from the rest of the world.

Ever since the intro to resilience, the pvp game and pve game are completely seperate. Its almost like two different games now. It looks to me like WoW is going to end up killing its self similar to what happened with swg, but over a longer time scale. Its sad because a person on the wow forums brought up the topic of resillence destroying the game and a dev (blue) replied by saying, we understand your concern and we will be adding superior items(blues) w/ resisilience to more reputation vendors. It just goes to show that WoW is allways going to be a endless grinding game and eventually people are going to see through this and move to other mmos.

If people didn't catch on within the first month or so of BC what WoW's model was going to be they are far to dense. It is obvious that they will continue to outdate stuff and make vendors sell stuff better for the grind. It is a circle that Blizzard is very good at (Make someone want to achieve the best) then give the masses the best so they don't feel special and rinse repeat.

People constantly struggling to the top just to have the top dropped down and a new top created. It is rather genius, and even though I absolutely hate WoW now and think blizzard screwed the pooch on it I don't think it will die due to the endless amount of nonsense content they can add that was just in the latest dungeon now given to all.

I still remember playing WoW a year after release and finding lvl 60's who didn't know that MC existed. People are just ignorant and enjoy the cartoon easy feel and over all easiness of the game. What more can you expect.

Mmorpgs generally don't die- they always have subscribers. And WC3 still has players today, so that will likely be a future WoW scenario.

So when will WoW start to decline is a better question. The answer is when people start getting bored, past what WoW can provide with freshness in terms of their expansions. They're still on their second expansion.. Maybe at a guess, a few years after this latest expansion or sometime after the third or forth.

Additionally, it should be noted that new players outnumbering the players leaving buoy up the subscribing figure. So when the number of new players start dwindling that should also be a pointer when the mmo may have reached I think 'maturity' is the stage.

Slowly and painfully.... Sometimes between 10 to 20 years and it will have shed all its victims...

Lol, good saying, you're only a victim though if you let the title victimize you.

Warhammer Online will probably bruise WoW pretty bad and then WoW will make bad decisions in trying to get new content in the game to combat the WAR epidemic and then players will be disappointed leading to a slow painful death of WoW.  Just a thought.......lol

It's dead to me.  It's a nice lil mainstream mmo, but there's always a better game then wow out there for you personal preferences.

The world was fun right up until BC when they just said, it's time to milk this for every last penny.

WoW Will die when they are making enough money to support the servers,thats when they will actually pull the switch.

WoW has a very young player base,and most play under their parents rules, Ruling out games like Warhammer, or Age of conan because of the ratings.

Age of conan fucked it self up because they released it wayy to early to begin with, giving promises that werent true.
