There are 3 games that I really sincerely hope are good....
Rift
GW2
The Secret World
Now....I can only play TWO of them, and it's likely that IF GW2 is good, it will be ONE (since there's no monthly sub). The other game I choose will depend on which game I enjoy the most. OR....I may play Rift until TSW comes out, because....it's gonna be a while.
However.....
There is not ONE damn "WoW Killer" in the bunch. WoW has so many subs that another game cannot possibly "kill" it. Oh sure....they may lose some subs, but....unless they lose 11 million and a half subs.....WoW is going precisely NOWHERE.
I have no idea why people can't understand that. Who even CARES what is going on with WoW? How exactly does it matter? It really doesn't. So I wish people would quit making silly statements about things "killilng" it. That just makes you look silly when you say things like that.

I'm getting on board with this prediction ^^^^^^. Just a sneaking suspicion I have.

I wish people would stop hoping so desparately for something that isn't going to happen. The only game that has any chance of overtaking WoW is ...whatever the next MMO Blizzard releases. No other company has the sheer number of rabid fans that Blizzard has.
Soo.. This is probaly the Wow killer nr. 2910... Or atleast people say so.... Every MMO title that comes is called the Wow killer and stuff.. But did Aion kill wow? No... Even though every "wow" hater said so.. WoW will not die unless Blizzard lets it.. (Stops updating).. But look on diablo.. The new content has been very little the last 7-8 years (Since Act 5 was added actually)... It still has a decent player base.. WoW is really hard to knock off, if possible at all.. Thats my opinion.

WoW gets killed a lot apparently.

I doubt you fortune telling abilities, but who knows maybe your wish comes true.
And as for Rift being a WoW killer. I am really getting bored by every new mmo being called a WoW killer.
It takes one to know one.
I doubt you fortune telling abilities, but who knows maybe your wish comes true.
Won't matter that I'll be right anyway. As far as I'm concerned I'll play Rift with the Luke warm reception and a couple hundred thousand subs in the shadow of gw2 & TOR just fine. I'm psyched for the game so I'll play.Playing: Rift, LotRO
Waiting on: GW2, BP
for a game to be a wow killer .... you have to at least have heard of it.. .. and .. rift.. ... well.. a game that nobody ever heard of.. and sounds like yet another asian grinder.. yawn.. right.. course it will kill wow..
Rift is NOT WoW killer for one simple reason - graphics are too high for 12 mill WoW players. That simple. You can't get such massive player base with graphics like that.
hahahahahhahahhahahahha
sorry this game won't kill wow. it may come in 2nd place tho.

Asian grinder? You're getting Rift and Tera mixed up man. Rift is made in the US I believe and it's basically a really cool looking version of eq2/vanguard.Playing: Rift, LotRO
Waiting on: GW2, BP
I Am excited about this game, Didn't some of the eq2 artists do the art?
playing eq2 and two worlds
WoW killer this WoW killer that.... when is it going to stop?
If you want to kill wow just go to blizzard HQ or where ever the servers are and blow them up then come back and post WoW was killed.
well, i dont doubt that, but my point was that it 'sounds like yet another asian grinder' ... perhaps when the game is released and we hear something about it.... it might be worth a try.. i kind of lost faith with new games tbh, so now i wait until they have been live for a month or three before even trying them... saves all kinds of levels of disapointment
Once again, and I cannot stress this enough, the term WoW Killer is as ridiculous as ever. I wish that people would stop with the ridiculous posts say that X game is a WoW Killer. I am no fan of WoW, but I respect what they accomplished and they moved the industry standards, but, each time someone says WoW Killer the game ends up so terrible that I wouldn[object Window]t give it a breath of time.
If you want people to actually pay attention to a game, research it and provide reasons WHY it is so great and WHY we should pay attention to it in the first place in a reasonably knowledgeable format showing the pros and cons. Simply saying WoW Killer seems to be the most asinine debating point that anyone ever created to advertise an opinion of a game.
I personally don[object Window]t care if a game kills WoW, but if its is a game like EvE (since I don[object Window]t like EvE), then why would I care? How about a second try? Try a title of

Um, no. Not even by a long shot. *sigh*. If you don't want to play WoW; fine, but can we stop with the silly "WoW killer" comments? APB didn't kill WoW, Aion didn't kill WoW, and neither will this.

When will people realise that there is no such thing as WOW killer? after the new CATA release WOW will rule supreme easily for another 6 years.
Stop making these topics please.
Who could have thought that WOW could bring super power like USA to its knees?

Im picking on WoW btw because its the beast that made all of this possible
WoW will release 3 expansions in the span of 6 years, lol. Blizzard wants to do an expansion every 2 years, which is exactly what they've been doing.

Dear lord no....
why are you people so obsessed with killing wow? if you dont like it dont play it and dont read news about it? you are so pathetic, yet you know better than anyone when and whats gonna be in Cataclysm
all you do is rant and flame on the internet how much you hate this and that... people dont give a damn moose's shit about your beliefs and shit... if you wanna play Rift, play it, and if you dont like WoW, forget that it even exists, you dont have to write on the internet about it, its freaking pathetic
^^
Believe it or not, games CAN co-exist peacefully. We don't need threads like this clogging anyone's head with nonsense.
Been playing WoW 6 years strong, and still love the game. It dulls down right before the next expansion comes out, but aside from that there's a LOT to do for everyone. Cataclysm is only strengthening that fact.
Strangely, WoW has a die-hard base: both fans and anti-fans alike. The fans who love wow (not talking huge fanboys) just play it to have fun and relax, and often will not care if people write threads like this. The anti-fans, strangely, end up posting more on these threads in defense of WoW. Everyone has their own opinions, and their own playstyle. WoW doesn't fit them all, but 12 million people will not leave wow to play Rift.
I am REALLY excited for Rift. However, I'll be playing both together. Just like right now I play WoW and League of Legends together. Two completely different games, but I make time for both because I enjoy both. No game is going to kill WoW, and you know what? They don't have to. Rift is being made by developers who love doing what they do. Do you think their meetings ever consist of lines such as "Alright guys, what should we implement next to try killing WoW?" No. They don't care about WoW. I am sure a lot of their team plays different games, including WoW, and that's what is going to make them good developers. Because they're PART of the community they're making a game for. I'm sure they have no ill will toward their competitors, but they're likely trying their damnedest to make a good game.
So please, knock it off with these threads. Even the companies making these supposed 'WoW killers' are not making their games to kill WoW. They make them because they love doing it. Drivel like this is what makes the online gamer communities so bad.
On that note, though.. I hope I get a VIP beta invite to Rift. Because I really want one, but am always 'too little, too late'.
I seriously doubt that Rift, or any other of these new mmo's coming out are going to kill WoW. They may steal a few numbers and hopefully they are made in a good enough state that they do well.
There is only one game that has a chance at being a WoW killer, and it's not a new game. No, it's an older game that still holds reverence by countless players the world over! No it's not EQ, or Baldurs Gate, or D&D! It's the legendary, immortal Pong!!! But not just the same old pong! no, no, no! This is a new Pong! One with laser beams, and ninja's and dogs shooting gatling guns! I'm talking visuals that burn in your screen AND your eyes!!! Sound effects that send such massive shivers down your spine you'll think you're having a seizure! In fact, you'll probably have a seizure! Hard core drug addicts will forget about their addictions just by playing the NEW PONG!! There is no denying it, no arguing the point. When pong is revived, it will dominate the world!
All of my posts are either intelligent, thought provoking, funny, satirical, sarcastic or intentionally disrespectful. Take your pick.
I get banned in the forums for games I love, so lets see if I do better in the forums for games I hate.
I enjoy the serenity of not caring what your opinion is.
I don't hate much, but I hate Apple© with a passion. If Steve Jobs was alive, I would punch him in the face.
It's starting to SCARE me how often I'm agreeing with you lately, but.....I agree with this too. The games that I have plans on playing this next year (the game gods willing) are GW2, Rift, and TSW. I only hope all 3 make it out and give me that opportunity.
Just because I don't think something will have "WoW-like" success CERTAINLY doesn't mean I won't be playing it. As a matter of fact.....I'm a LOT more apt to like a game that isn't so generic that it draws in millions of people who have never played an MMO in their life previously. I tend to like things that are a little LESS mainstream. That's just me.

I've said this a few times in these forums . The thing that will kill WoW is the new tech coming along . 3D tvs coupled with 3D capable and mmo friendly consoles will make it look old hat . Having said that I think any of the new mmos next year could dent WoW subs .The shattering has been welcome in WoW but its left a lot of us thinking if this is much of the major selling point of the new Xpac that the redesigning of the game world is underwealming and certainly not cataclysmic . Good as WoW is/was I think all it will take now is one half decent alternative and theres gonna be wounds but I doubt there will be a kill .
