What will kill WoW?

I believe that the one MMO that will put a stake into WoW and cause it to bleed out painfully until mmo death, will be WoW 2. Whenever WoW 2 comes, Blizzard will need to cut down on the amount of people they have working with WoW. So therefore, WoW 2, even if it sucky compared to WoW, will be getting alot more attention by their dev's and marketing. It happened with EQ and EQ2, it will more than likely happen with WoW. If they don't release some kind of updated sequel then of course they will die eventually.

At this point, the only thing that might kill WoW is time, and a lot of it. Like more than 20 years.

I'm guessing the meds the die hards end up on, after they realize the amount of time and money they've put into it. The game is very comparable to bad drug habits, imo.

Look at blizzards track record. Diablo 2 is still being played years and years later. Many have tried to rival WOW just to fail. Its so entrenched now and hard to compete with. Time eventually will kill it. But until something competes with it why would blizzard make WOW2 and compete with its own success.

I think an Oblivion MMO or SWTOR will kill it. SWTOR will have a much better story and an Oblivion MMO would have a million times better battle system and prolly a better story too. Not to mention the graphics

This.
Actually, it's almost word for word what my first thought was lol!

The only things that could kill WOW is if the Internet died or the end of the world happened :P.

Probably WOW 2 and only they have to sabotage WOW to a degree that people just absolutely hate it. With 200 million dollars/month cash flow you are gonna see WOW at least another 15 years.

I never would've thought they would be making WOW 2. WoW is fine and bustling at the moment. If Blizzard do consider that route then things may actually go down for the historically fantastic company.

A persistent MMO will be very very hard to kill. Runescape is still alive. Ultimate Online, which some new gamers these days would have never heard of, is still alive.. sort of. GhoX

There are still people playing Ultima Online?! Seriously? :shock:

I thought so too...

Why do people want WOW to die?

I think i would kill wow...2 hours of questing with me as I make lame jokes, they'll all leave.

Keanu Reeves will think he needs to destroy it, but then realize that we just need to live and coincide with it.
