I have been playing two mmo's for about two years each. Both seem to be doing ok, and are actually improving and adding content, graphics, etc
I am wondering how long games usually last. 2-3yrs if good? 4-5? I play Dragon Fable with my kids. I play SAGA myself, and my kids are just gettng old enough to show interest in playing. It is much more advaced, even though it has easy conrols. Great graphics too, I was happy to see such time put into graphics. Cheap animation is not cute, it is cheap, poor quality.

There is probably a complex formula for it - number of initial subscribers + number of updates - shitty graphics divided by number of other games just like .
I would have to say it is how they do there updates, if the start doing bad updates or start to tend to the noobs or lower lv players and not worrying on the vets or pros of the games that have been playing for a while it might have a loss of alot of higher people that loved the games but have nothing to do now.
There is really no set way to tell. The MMORPG genre of games itself is around 12 years old or so, depending on if you count it's beginnings with Meridian 59 or Ultima Online (I go with the latter). In that time we've only had a coupld of well known MMOs "die". I want to say around 5 or 6. That compared to how many have launched...and considering games like Ultima Online, Asheron's Call and Everquest that have been around since the beginning (I think Meridian 59 is still going too) and continue to go.
MMOs last as long as you, the individual, are having fun in the game and that the game turns a profit, no matter how small, for the company running it.
