I have checked the server list everyday since 9/19 and the no of servers had not grown at all. I hope SWTOR will be a WoW killer which by my definition means at least 20+ servers in NA alone. Twelve servers is just lame.

Why do you care if a game company beats another game company, just play a game that you enjoy.

And why do you measure by server count, EVE online only has one worldwide server

i had read thru many, many forums including wow europe and oceanic (by lurking ofkos) and the top 5 reasons they that would kill wow would be:

1. nice graphic, wow iz cartoonish
2. high character customisation
3. arial (maximum 1 minute?) combat
4. grindfest
5. pvpve

some of them does brought out some reasonable argument that each MMO would be an individual game of their feats and strengths that should not be compared with one another.

technically, have wow killed EQ? although EQ is pretty much have least players but wow still lives in shadows of EQ with terms and certain aspects directly borrowed from there.

Having played a few MMOs now, what will kill WoW is a game without latency.

Yea a game without latency and not to mention sumthin that can match up to WoW itself.

im about to happy when see the title lol...

as it had been discussed since last few years back regarding wow killers, as nobody believe wow cant be beaten...

from warhammer then aion, next blade & soul... the following dunno what crap gonna be... keeps dream on...

also wow is keep on going & growing by sooner with another expansion shall be released...

the only capable wow killer is it's own creator, Blizzard...

WoW FTW!

Yeah, I would love that. Even Brewfest sucks for those with high latency. Yeah, the Ram racing thing. I am a sucker for whole event. Good thing we can sell back the costume after the achievement.

local mmo's have good latency...

Bogardan, next thing is less grinding to level. That's the problem with local MMOs.

Hmm...Warhammer had a really nice concept but the lag spikes was so terrible. I think for the first 6 months, annoying. Their BGs were interesting although just spam spam spam. And I ran around as a big ugly tanker. Haha! What was interesting about Warhammer was the forced-male characters and no female versions. And the Goblin side was hilariously funny. I enjoyed their quests!

The other thing about Warhammer was the PVP and siege engines. The siege was kinda boring after awhile because it became a case of raiding while opposite side was asleep. As for the siege engines, wasn't easy to use as in WoW. The responsiveness of the WoW game/servers are a lot better than in WoW.

Then again, while I was playing WoW, wasn't using a tunnel then. So it got pretty annoying.

But being in a PvP guild, that was an eye-opener. I guess it was a big difference from how my previous WoW guild was run.

A game without latency will kill WoW...diablo 3?

and that's not theoretically MMO and that title is from Blizzard themself

so the conclusion hence told, only Blizzard can/must kill their own game, which they almost done too many times unconsciously.

technically there *used* to be few potential companies that could do that

remember games like 'lands of lore'? the game content was already great (back in those days), the dev team built the game from ground up without even caring general D&D rulesets and the end result was superb!!!

owh, almost forgot 'nox' in a sense tha some people dubbed it as 'diablo 1.5' after the release (funny thing is, both game has no similarities). it's fast paced and quite story driven

those were some unique games with in depth story stlling and if the company survives until today they had high chance of being made into MMOs, but thx to EA that buttsecks this uniquely company that and turn some srs games into joke.

EA buttsecks everything and turn gaming-world into a joke, i lose heart to EA ever since they kill NFS with underground shiet.

Underground 1 and 2 was good. ALL NFS games after that sucked.. But for me, the 1 reason that WoW will die is to have TOO many things to do. Even now, you gotta farm, do dailies and so much more to even survive raiding costs. Yeah, you may say that raiders have good gear and they can do things easier (farm or dailies) but as new stuff gets added and levels keep increasing, there will be a point that too much is too much and people will burn out just doing things to survive in the game.

AION

LOL@Koreangrindmmorpg. Its exactly same as Lineage 2. Pretty graphics and hollow gameplay.

Hey there Goblinsker! I wondered what happened to our usual wet blanket.

How's your move to Sandakan?

Im a wet blanket LOL

Lol, Sandakan ok la. Got streamyx and gamepath.
The problem is no time to play wow now. Work in hospital is super tiring, come back login for awhile and go to sleep for tmw.
Short raids like TOC is a blessing for me right now.

lol'ed.

and no, WoW didnt really lived in the shadows on EQ, WoW simply took every previous mmorpg's strong points, mashed it all together, and cut out their flaws. and it became the WoW we know today.
