will WOW ever fall?

WOW is like the roman empire of MMO's, will it ever go out of existence, or at least in the next 15 years

Nobody knows...

I believe the 9.3 million population will just continue rising.

But nobody knows what will happen in the future...

Most of that is China though so it doesn't really count, i think it would be something more like 3 milllion in the western world which is still the most outt any mmorpg.

However the WOW community sucks and i'd rather go for quality.

I think MMOs are the future, so this game would be a landmark in MMO history and regarded as the best or one of the best mmos in existences Led_poison

99% of the mmorpgs sucks arse lol they're all the same and the genre has really been dead for the past few years with crap release after crap release and same old same old.

I think EVE and WOW are the only 2 mmorpgs that have grown throughout their life.

WoW is very accessible - from visual to mechanics - which is why it has such a massive following. It will only be toppled by WoW2.

The only real reason I quit was because raiding got tedious ... only pvp kept my interest and Blizzard isn't exactly well known for providing amazing pvp content (or really supporting it) which is odd considering.

Of my circle of friends from WoW ... 90% are moving to WAR when its released in hopes of a better pvp experience.

well i am hoping that guildwars 2 will bring a good thing to mmo but as some have said

a lot of them are all the same what else can they do that is new to a hard core games

For that to happen a new MMO will have to have...

1.Massive hype. Being based off a popular series or lore (Like DnD "The lost realms".) would help a lot.

2.It has to have the same low and even lower requirements. There are tons of players who don't even meet the minimum specs and run it on dial up. These people some of many, many working man and woman that live in small towns(but by 'many' I met when they are put togehter. :P)who may had join to get more socializiton. (Not every town has cable, some don't even haveDSL.)

3.It has to be even easier and yet, more addicting. WoW your character is always getting stornger and you are always lerning something new.

4.Beat WoW on solo content. There are also a large amount of players who play WoW because it's solo frinedly. Why? Just because. Even though they are playing alone that have comfort knowing other people are there. So mostly people who like to play alone but not feel alone.

5.Larger spam of leveling. I met countless people who loved the leveling but hated end game. So they re rolled and when they were done playing all the classes they quit.

6.Stronger socializiton surport. Believe or not there are many people who would pay monthly to only walk in vitural bars to play gumbaling mini games and chat all day.

Anyone agree with me?

Please no! If MMOs are the future I'll just trash my computer!. This genre cant be compared to any of the FPS, RTS or RPG genre wich are the true kings of computer gaming I think FPS is the king right know, but I like more RTS anyway..

They might aswell be, with the increase focus on having more players in mulitiplayer, wouldnt it just make more sense, that your FPS mightaswell be a MMO?

and I say MMOs are the future because its very hard pirate MMO games, sure you can pirate the game disk, but inorder to play online you need to pay.

give it, I dont know, maybe three years and maybe...just maybe, WoW will fall, unless, blizzard(Activision Blizzard now) finds something new to add the the game that will bring more people in, Ive heard that the game's population has been declining, but the future is undecided, anything could happen, and dont even dare consider World of Warcraft 2, god help us all, if WoW 2 ever turned out great, you might as well bend your head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye.

PS - Dont consider World of Starcraft...or even World of Diablo for that matter.

Both genres can be combined with MMOs. There's already MMOFPS and MMORTS. Online is the future.

Whereas it is fairly obvious, MMO's are here to stay, I wouldn't say it is 'the' future. As MMO's are now (although this could change ofc), they all basically demand massive amounts of time to be spent trying to acquire new gear, fame and glory and what not. This simply doesn't appeal to alot of people.

Further, whereas over 9 million subscribers is impressive, it is still only 9 million players out of god knows how many. That is, MMO's are still just a sub-genre of gaming suited for a special type of gamers.

Yes, WOW will fail now, Piece of crap activision just bought blizzard out....

Why did a company that makes kiddy consoles games mainly by out an amazing company blizzard...the greed of moneys...

i think Ultima Online is still aorund and that game is like what 10 years old maybe more?

still a fun game if you ask me lol

I've not read any replies to this thread. I haven't done this because I'd like to make a prediction made from observations in other topics.

My prediction is, there's going to be at least a few people b***ing about both the MMO genre being; too much money and/or a grind fest, and/or WoW in general.

Actually Vivendi owns Blizzard and have done for some time now. They haven't been bought out from Vivendi by Activision, instead they've merged Blizzard and Activision together. In actual fact I think it was something like Blizzard had invested double in the merge deal than Activision, and it was a multi-billion dollar deal.

Basically expect to see the same games from both Blizzard and Activision but under one name. WoW will be unnafected btw, it has its own divisions of Blizzard which is what I never tell the people whining about WoW taking all of Blizzard's time from other games it could be making; ie Warcraft 4 or Diablo 3 or whatever.

wow will last, but all the players will eventually die from obesity.greatmax1

But what about the people that died in China from lack of sleep and nutrition? Ahh I guess you're the nutritional expert and doctor though with the psychology certificate. Nah I can't lie, you're just here to confirm what I predicted a few posts back. That stereotype is a little worn though? What's the matter? Can't come up with a new one?

I'm hoping it will fall, and sooner the better. Simply because that will mean that a better MMO than WoW was made.

Whocares anyways cause WOW is **** and it'a just the same as all the rest before it, grind grind grind to end level and get bored. Grantelicious

All you do in life is work work work and then you die. So why live? Because if you base life off of 8 hours a day 5 days a week it makes a pretty bleak perception. Judging an entire game level 1-70 based on the fact that you felt the need to rep/raid grind despite the fact it wasn't fun doesn't make the game ****, it makes your decisions poor. When it isn't fun anymore, quit, but that doesn't mean that WoW 1-70 isn't a brilliant game. If the game really ****, you never would have gotten to the point that you grind grind grind. :roll:

As long as there's people with
A. Too much time
B. No knowledge of good games
Wow will exist.

yeah, name 3 gamesthat are fun for more than a year that don't suffer from the same end-gamegrinds as WoW

I'm sure your invalid answers and attempts to save face are forthcoming, maybe

Yes, i think WOW will die very soon(in a few years). you can already see that the hype for the the next expansion pack will be and ismuch....smaller.

It won'tbe even close tothat soon unless they do a really good job on Warhammer Online or Age of Conan *crossing fingers*. The hype is smaller right now because they just started releasing information about it. Plus there are players like me that thought the last expansion was poorly made and expect the same from the next one. If they prove us wrong, people will come flocking back.

wow is now basically something which u have in the back of your head ... and thats when u renew ur account and play it . however the excitement soon wears off ( yes even with the new lvling system ) and ur left wondering how you ever got enticed by WoW in the first place...

thats the plain truth

flame on kid :D

The best example for this is Ultima. 10 years after launch it is still making money and people still love it. WoW became the biggest MMorpg in history and 4 years later it is still going strong so at the very least there will be servers left in 20 years with people still playing.

P.S. World of Warcraft is simply an incredible game that did it all right where 99% of it`s population could care less about what some grumpy seen it all done it all gamers in some gaming forum thinks of this game. And that is a true testament of what wow is, and who wow is for.

I guess Gamespot has no knowledge of good games, according to you.

I've just been reading about a porn star who plays wow regularly and posts on the official forums regularly too. Level 70 too. I won't go into any more though but it kinda shows how stupid stereotypes are about games and particularly this game.-Unreal-

This coming from someone who has 244 hours logged intothe game. Guess you had both A and B...

Has Diablo 2 fallen? Or Warcraft 3? Or Starcraft?

No, I dont think WoW will fall, or it wont until WoW 2 comes out. Blizzard makes great games for the masses, they make games that even people with crappy PCs can run. I dont think WoW will ever be dethroned. Thats not to say there wont be any good MMOs, though.
