2008 Challenge to WoW? Really?

In 2007 it was predicted that a number of MMO's would challenge WoW's supremacy - not so. Some people are saying the same thing now in 2008.

Do you think there are any upcoming titles that stand a chance? Is Age of Conan and Warhammer Online really offering enough improvements and quality content to satsify those of us spoiled by Blizzard?

I hope so, I would enjoy some variety in the MMORPGs, but I really don't have faith in other gaming companies to deliver the quality and support needed to challenge Blizz.

When/where did Blizz say they were making a new MMO?

A second fantasy-themed MMO would be redundant, a World of Starcraft, however... *drools* I've been waiting and wating for a good sci-fi MMORPG (Hellgate was SUCH a sorry disappointment)

I have high hopes for Warhammer as well. The PvP still looks amazing!

That's because WAR and AoC were both expected to already be released :D

I have high hopes for GW2, but only time will tell.

saying CS is a "solid" game is a bit of a stretch. It was basically for mindless kids that wanted to shoot ppl in real life.

Warhammer looks pretty good and I may check it out but I highly doubt it will rival WoW at all.

lol@blaze...Are you sure your not Jack Thompson?

warhammer has gotten over 500,000 Beta testers alone...thats a huge amount for a Beta...sure it wont beat WOW....but it will be very very popular.

there is also Guild Wars 2..which is a very different type of game...but with the popularity of the first..this one will be very popular also.
