isn't that according to the mayan calender?
NASA predicts that the Sun will also reverse its own magnetic poles during 2012 as result of reaching the end of current 11-year sunspot cycle. ...

the second largest Near Earth Object on record (size 13x13x33 km) is expected to pass Earth at 0.1790 astronomical units (~16.647 Million Miles) (1 AU = ~150 million kilometres or ~93 million miles) (1AU = the average distance from Earth to the sun).
Hello there, adventurer!
If you want a sure fire WoW killer, look no further than Guild Wars 2.
Consider for a momment that the majority of features that make WoW different from Guild Wars on a gameplay level will be implimented in GW2, along with all the things that make Guild Wars better than WoW.
Removal of level caps, persistant un-instanced world, etc..etc..
All the goodness of EQ like (Wowlike) games mixed in with all the goodness of Guild Wars.
Including the fact that you dont have to pay for it month by month.
Say what you want about warhammer, age of conan, whatever. These subscriber based games are going to have to earn thier money on a whole new level in 2008.
Guild Wars 2.
As you may recall by reading the first topic this started on. He said that people are getting bored because they have reached level 60.
I will now reply do this rediculous suggestion in the best way I can.
A. WTF!!!!??? Burning Crusade is out now, and DING!!!!!! new dungeons, tons of new places to explore, hundres upon hunreds of new items, AND LVL 70 IS ATTAINABLE!!!!!!
B. Replying to the comment directly before this. HOLY HELL!!!!! Guild Wars has a good potential, but compared to WOW, it has NO online community, which makes half the game let me remid you! Also, you can barley even call it a massiveley multiplayer game considering the only time you can even see other players is in big cities!!!!!! I would like to give it a new tite in online games, ASMOG. A Slightly Multiplayer Online Game. And finaly, Guild wars 2, nor guild wars 3, nor guild wars 4 could ever beat WOW considering that Guild Wars will even last that long, and even though new WOWs may not come out, it is slowly changing at all times and never needs a sequel. If you look back on WOW when it was first made, you would see a different game!
Hope all you WOW fans agree with me, E-mail me at Friguy300@yahoo.com
I dont think the game is dieing. Its simply slowly moving out of the top 5 games list, but i think the game still have a long long future.
I personaly dont like it at all (in fact i left some time ago), but i think saying its dieing its a bit rush because it was the game with a bigger number of subscribers 30 days ago, and is probably still leading that list.
WoW is like a coakroach it cant die just like Warcraft 3 / Starcraft still gets playtime (we're all installing that game at work)
Blizzard knows how to execute on a design and how not to piss off all their customers like what Sony did with NGE/CU. sure, Blizz will piss off their ppl but they wont totally shoot themselves in the foot they're not that dumb
been playing a lot of MMOs and i see why WoW is uptop. its easy to play like a single player RPG.
I want more depth and rich pvp so it looks like my choices are hella slim this sucks guess I'll just keep playing my console games til some more MMOs come out
Oh well, I have switched to LOTRO myself for a couple of reasons , First its not owned by SOE and second I want to play a game based on one of my other favorite franchise (the other was Star Wars). WoW was and still is a great game .
There is a third reason , While playing WOW for the first 2 years I keep under the radar while I continued my struggle with SOE but now althou my accounts were reinstated with SOE , I have brought Jestor Rodo back as hobbit name Rodo.
Come to the Nimrodel server and hi five me there and of course , Love that Jestor!
Unaware of the Jestor?

Fact 1 : Blizzard adds new servers almost every 3 months to keep up with growth
Fact 2 : Many MMOs are combining servers to up population.
Fact 1 = Growth and NOT dying (not dieing)
Fact 2 = Loss of subscribers (ie Vanguard, EQ2, SWG, etc etc)
so my point is..... until Blizzard starts combining servers en masse then it's safe to say that it is NOT dying.
And ya know I was going to continue this argument but the first few posters had it right..it's a fanboi flamefest in here.
No point arguing with Fanatics. But I'll state my point anyway. To hell with it.
WoW does something that most other mmorpgs don't - it focuses on getting new blood in constantly and doesn't give a rats ass about actual longterm subscribers.
If people leave constantly and people join constantly that does not mean the game isn't dying. The question is how long are those people staying before leaving as the next batch will stay about as long on average. If it's a short enough time, you will run out of people to keep joining. Dying isn't a question of people joining (new people join any crappy game - WoW has more publicity so therefore more people join it
); it's a question of people staying.
Maybe he meant dyeing, in a nice purple hue

This is you.
you are wrong my good evilhare
blizzard has NEVER concidered merging servers, they offer free transfers to low pop servers from "full" high pop servers. They do this all the time. that is why you see "full" go to Normal, because people transfer servers. But hey I guess having an blizzard employee friend means I know nothing..... <shrug> Now go play Maple Story son.
