WOW has basicly not had much compitition. well GUESS WHAT Bioware has decided to step up. And should we even question biowares skills and talents right I think not.

I know Blizzard is great also. But WHAT Bioware going head to head. WOW will be AM CRY:cry:

Are you kidding all the Star Wars fans will come out of the wood work. Millions upon millions after a few years The Old Republic will be #1

And EA actually knows how to market and hopefully also knows not to change the entire game and turn it into a buggy POS which still hasn't been properly patched up after 6 years *COUGH*SOE*

I think that it has a chance(albeit small) to get 5-6 million subs, which is basically what wow has since all the chinese were cut off. Althought that won't kill wow, since acti-blizz are the only ones who can shutdown wow and I don't see that happening until they dip below 100,000 subscribers.

Most logical thread you've ever done, 9/10

On topic, I have full faith the old republic will blow WoW out of the water, that is, if the launch is smooth and it launches with enough content.

I think it will have a very large fanbase because it appeals to a market that is largely untapped for MMOs. A singleplayer type story MMO is what many people, myself included who doesn't overly care for star wars, have been waiting for. I see it as less of what WoW made the generic MMO and more a persistent world with a rich story and huge lore.

Toppling WoW now? I doubt that but it is possible (it is only 5.5 million now afterall).

Dead-Memories

I completely agree, based on what has been shown through dev diaries and videos. It looks like they are putting the RPG back into MMORPG. Alot of guys over at most MMO forums are appaled at the idea of TOR since to them it isn't an MMO, it is an online RPG. I find this pretty funny because I prefer deep immersive roleplaying to getting corpse camped and grinding the same mob over and over again. If there must be a grind at least it should be fun and not just mindlessly pressing the same two buttons on the keyboard. What I hope they do with TOR is eliminate grinding mobs by putting a bunch of huge quest chains with cinematics and choices that change the game(which I think they are doing).

i dunno, didnt guild wars hit over 5 or 6 million units? that's probably the closest an MMO has come to WoW. If any game is going to put a dent blizzard's empire, i'd put my stock in GW2. Do not underestimate the power of no subscrition fees! :evil:

Weird. I was reading your post and realised after that you were quoting me. :P GW isn't an MMO in the traditional sense. More like a hub where you can meet up and do instances. But, you're right. No fees is very appealing.

Warhammer online was very unstable, and to this day, is almost impossible to do fort-tier zones the way they are meant to be, and lost a lot of potential subscribers. THe unbalanced factions was very bad too 4-1 ratio Order to Chaos on most servers :| I enjoyed my WH, but I, as the thousands of other early adopters abandoned the game.

This, why can't we just say TOR will be good and bring something new to the table. I say both will do quite well but I'm starting to like what TOR's doing already, even though no KOTOR 3 announcement last year makes me :(.

although it's doubtful that Old republic is gonna kill WOW,I wouldn't also write off the possibility either..people act like WOW is invincible.People said the Same thing about Everquest (being unbeatable),and look what happened there? WOW came along and wiped the floor with that game..so it's very possible for a new MMO to one day, come along and take out WOW as well.

is that really surprising though?..Warhammer Online is a hardcore "PVP heavy" MMO,as opposed to WOW which is more casual friendly and reaches out to a wider audience..so the winner was quite obvious..

Kotor sold 2 million. So a mmo version of kotor is going to sell 4 million more than the original and 5 million more than the second one to compete with WOW sales?

Very different in terms of content. I do believe it will be polished though. They are taking their time with it and they do not announce a feature unless they know it will be 100% in the game.( MYTHIC :( )

Yea mythic screwed up big time and let way too many blatant imbalances ship in a pvp oriented game...
