It's in grave state right now as it only sold 3.3 million units in 24 hours....it is a failure as it shatters Lich King record of 2.8 million units...oh after Sc2 sold a lot, now Cataclysm...oh PC gaming is truly dying...oh and yet another fail from Blizzard for raising the bar for MMO quest design...and for another might-be AAA game...
[QUOTE="locopatho"]No one has ever said Blizzard is dying.demonic_85
He was being sarcastic.
Yes he is. I don't think anyone thought WoW was dying at all. FF XI may be dying. I haven't heard anything about EverQuest and EverQuest 2 in over a year.
no other company has enough money, time and talent to create a better mmo, I thought Square-enix might have the cash and talent to be able to do it with final fantasy xiv but that turned out the worst.

i think SW:TOR has a change. but if that does not manage it nothing will

Blame the people, not the game.
Sure, for games like COD or Halo where there isn't much evidence of people becoming addicted. Sorry, but WoW is a completely different story from your normal game, you can blame it freely. You can't look at me with a straight face and say that people aren't addicted to that game. I'll say that 90 percent of raiders and 70 percent of normal players are addicted, and because of it they are starting to suffer in terms of their health and social skills. I'm so glad i stopped at WOTLK, that game was not worth all the consequences of playing it.

Yawn...
I just don't understand the logic behind blaming games. Who the heck asked anyone to even try it out in the first place. I smoke, now who do I blame for that? Pall Mall? jeez...

Sure it's their fault that they played the game in the first place, but just like most addictive things, people assume that what they see happen to other people won't happen to them. If those same people who are addicted to WoW played another genre(or even just guild wars), their would not be anywhere as many that are addicted, which is why one can blame WoW directly for causing the addiction.
I could really get into this...but are you REALLY trying to blame WoW for "Addicting" people? I mean really? I guess everyone needs something to blame and not the actual person, because humans can do no wrong!

Haha its the mcDonalds lawsuits all over again...oh boy here we go :P. I hate the mentality that its not the persons fault. You only have yourself to blame.

My prediction - SW:TOR will be a well-received MMO,but it's fanbase will consist of mostly just Star Wars and Bioware Fanboys....it wont draw in (or steal) the massive crowds of Casual Gamers that Blizzard has for Warcraft.
i feel sorry for 3.3 million people... wow is such a waste of timebabybinky
Yup...because a gaming forum that consists of people arguing over lame trivial **** like "how many more polygons/textures a certain game has over another" .....is somehow less pathetic and a better way to kill time right? :roll:

You're telling me the people I encounter while playing Call of Duty and Halo are not hurting their social skills and health? I don't buy that one second. I've met far better people playing WoW for the short time I have.
That's the thing. MMO and facebook games are the only thing that PC has to call its own.
crusadernm
What on Earth? Does any system have anything to call it's own? Especially in terms of genres (they've pretty much all been addressed at one point or another).
If you wanna get in depth, PC also has a plethora of sims, adventure games, RTS, whereas the consoles are fairly limited in that regard.
[QUOTE="Giancar"]No, it's not I would LOVE it to die though so I can have my WC4 :(madsnakehhh
:( Agreed, WC4 is my most wanted announce.
The second WC IV is released, I will retreat into my man cave and never return, the only sound emerging from my man cave would be the sounds of many dying night elves.
WoW is far from dying. I know the op was been sarcastic but I remember in my time of wow thier forums full of people claiming it was because they where bored of it. It got boring after TBC imo but I played untill a few months after TLK. I have no desire to go back but its really far from dying and anyone who seriously thinks it is is missing something
[QUOTE="Giancar"]No, it's not I would LOVE it to die though so I can have my WC4 :(berserker2389
I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that WC4 was rumored or announced for some date like 2013/2014. I'll give you the link if I can find one.
EDIT: Here is it for ya. =)
So long....:cry: i doubt they would opt to release WC 4 instead of a new WoW expansion. honestly, in 4 years I think we would see maybe two more expansions, I would be absolutely SICK of warcraft by then. i'd rather they just move on to a new franchise etc.
Hard to judge proper sales on games when you have many people who have problems with this game (problems as in they must feed some inner desire to play, do their daily quests and so on). And since there has been nothing worthy to challenge WOW it makes it also tough to state that. But, when there is a real competitor out there, then we will see who or what stands up.
It's not dying, but it really should be. That game is just not healthy for people, socially and physically.ice144
I agree with this, people claim that you can play it casualy........sure if you have fun just leveling and dealing with one fail pug after the other. Otherwise it takes to much time to be healthy
May it be relevant till the better MMOs that are DC universe and SW The Old Republic come out in 2011.
Advid-Gamer
I hope a better mmo comes out that rewards more on skill instead of just how much time you put into it. TOR will be a good MMO, UC universe, not so much.
