I think WoW will be fine when they are done destroying Aion, Blizzard will release thier new MMO which they claim is in the works and renew themselves as the MMORPG juggernaut that they are, as most of us subscribe to the next game that catches our interests

what new mmo? which new mmo? where?
even dont know mmo's name you say that mmo is god
I dont doubt blizzard will release a great polished game (their upcoming MMO) but i dont think it will have the impact WoW did mainly because of the fact that I doubt that the 10million people will just leave WoW over night to their new MMO and considering they have announced its a completely new franchise some ppl just really like the warcraft setting.

These threads are such a cliche!
Most of the buzz is the game is Starcraft Online, if it is it will do big numbers with the world wide following starcraft has. And no game is going to kill WoW, even if they lose 50% of their subs, they still would have 5-6 million.
Aion is going to be a good game, will not kill WoW but a decent amount of WOW players will give Aion a look. If NCsoft West takes what they learned from L2, and fixes the BOT issue the game will be great, if the BOTS are not taken care for the NA/EURO release then this game will fail to live up to its potential and will be the next Conan or Warhammer with all those WoW players going back.

You don't GET IT! Aion has 3.5 million subs, when it hits North America, Eurpope, Japan, and Taiwan they'll have 5 million subscribers. If WoW looses half of their subs, I'm sure at least 1 million will come to Aion which means that WoW will only have 5 million and Aion will have 6 million.
WOW is good for gaming but we can do better and Aion is better.
My point exactly, WoW is good for beginners or people who just want to raid here and there, but nothing for the serious gamer.
no offense syno but all you done for the last 4 -5 days was whine how much of a grind Aion was,yet every single post for Aion...there you are saying how great a game it is....
I
If someone had came up to me in 1980 when I was on my Atari 2600 and said we will be playing games with thousands of people at the same time.I guess my response would have been,"but I only have 2 joysticks"

Since when did I ever complain about grind in Aion ? Heck, I even promote grind in mmos because things shouldn't be done in 2 days :P

2 minutes ago I'm the silent majority for Aion

next time stay with the topic or lay of the beer mate,I was replying to a poster and not "the silent majority"

While I'm posting I want to clear up a couple of things as I have been in contact with some EU guys that play on the Asian servers, ill be joining em this weekend btw ^^
- Aion is also a gear grind, don't think its any different from WoW there, in fact from what I have heard it may be more of a grind.
- Aion is on its 3rd content patch I believe while WoW is on its 2nd expansion, 1 content patch in, so its bound to have more depth atm not to say that wont change.
- Aion does ad flying combat, very nice idea btw, but it looses some very basic game-play elements like swimming and its char customization is more limited atm. I don't mean what your char looks like btw ^^ it rocks there.
- Aion is pulling alot of cross references to other games, especially WoW but that is bound to happen, whenever a new mp3 player or media player comes out its always judged by how well it does vs a Ipod, same concept, WoW is the benchmark atm and love it or hate it any MMORPG that comes out will be compared to it, there is nothing wrong with that, people expect the next big thing to be better, and in a genre where you can spend a very big chunk of your spare time you certainly should shop around.
The only way to know for sure which MMO will be on top this time next year is to wait and see, it may not be Aion or WoW it could be something completely new, only time will tell

Neither game will kill the other. They will both prosper and we'll happily live in peace and harmony.
