Aion the new WoW?

Yeah sure it'll be the new WoW - in the same way that Age of Conan and Warhammer Online were also the new WoW.:roll:

WoW is the only MMO to ever get such success, and I bet it will be the only one for the next 20 years.

With that said, I have seen nothing but good news about Aion.

It's another Korean MMO, I guess.

WoW is the only casual mainstream MMO which is why its so popular Aion is not as casual so no way will it get more then 1 million subs but it is a great game.

High reviews and awards have nothing to do with it GTA Chinatown would like to have a word with you if you believe thats true. WoW is as popular as it is now because it is a casual mainstream MMO with good gameplay.

WoW is only casual for a time... then it either becomes a hardcore raid grind or a hardcore rep grind to get progression. Which is why I quit WoW and am happy to land in Aion for as long as it is still fun.

[QUOTE="-Unreal-"] WoW is a game that received countless awards and high reviews and reccomendations. That's why it's so popular. You can say that it's because it's a Blizzard game, or that it's because it has Warcraft in it's title, but if that were the case, so many people wouldn't still be playing it after 5 years. There's been plenty of competition for Blizzard and if those other titles had been better games, they would have more subscribers. -Unreal-

Sure its a good game but I dont see how it has anything to do with its awards and reviews , WoW was already successful at its launch because of the rts franchaise and it happened to have good gameplay etc to keep its player base , the older WoW got the more "open" it became for new WoW/MMO/casual players the more popular it became as there has been no mainstream casual MMO made which is the main reason it currently has 6-5 milion subscribers.

If you are talking about TBC expansion then yes but that is no longer true

one more reason I'm glad I left. It was a blast while it lasted, but oh well.

Needs to be casual to beat WoW.

Exactly.

I'm going to be playing Aion, but the people who think it will put any significant dent in WoW's customer base are crazy..

To be honest I don't want Aion to be "the new WoW". I preordered the game to play something different and fresh, not play something that reminds me of WoW...I would rather play WoW than a copy of WoW...
