A Star Wars MMO.
Yes you know it but your arragant attitude has made you think WoW would die by WAR...just isnt true.
A New Star Wars MMO like a remake of Star Wars galaxies with Pre Combat Upgrade Features would be a serious contender.
Ive said my peace.
- A Real Life Player....Until a new Star Wars MMO comes out....

I honestly don't see a KOtOR MMO working, just like Elderscrolls MMO wouldn't work. They're great single player, and would be good limited multiplayer. I hope that rumor I heard a while ago was true, that the next SW MMO is going to be set the Clone Wars. Much better setting considering the familiar characters and excelent setting for conflict.
Also... I don't want anything to bring WoW down, its a terrible game, an even worse game would have to come along to bring it down. Or something revolutionary. But games designed for the largest amount of people possible = complete fail. (Halo anyone?)
Darkfall Travelogues!
erm . . do you mean "Arrogant?"
But games designed for the largest amount of people possible = complete fail. (Halo anyone?)
KoToR is not going to be the SW MMO. That has been almost entirly confirmed.
As for MMOs always failing....Revolutionary would be a game where there are 10 ways to play....
WoW only has 2....PVP or PVE
War will only have mostly 1...RVR (PVP in disguise)
A Great game would be half as complex as Real Life but only the fun stuff....NO TAXES! A Game where you could just be a star fighter, Just a Stormtrooper, Just a Trader and you could be rich and Build lots of homes with 1 million ways to customize that home....
A StarShip captain where you get to go on Combat missions (instance Missions) and solo them with your Corrvette! That be sick if you could use your Wit and Own Stradegy to out smart the AI...
STARFLEET COMMAND got one thing right and that is the ship controls...now speed up that shop cause they went way to slow and make there be a ton more options...Diverting power to so and so...so forth.
Complex Games are the Best types of Games.
But also allow there to be simple stupid stuff. hey I want to be a fighter pilot and go fight Imperials....k Go here and Go to a instance and become apart of Red Squadran and Attack the Death Star....
That be wicked,
GUYS and GALS.
Pretty much what I am saying is combine all the star wars games you have played into ONE and you have the best MMO EVER.
Force Commander.
Jedi Knight
MotS
Tie Fighter
XWing
Galaxies....
Just WoW. and not that WoW....the non game WoW
Wow, nothing like making a broad generalization calling everyone on the message board arrogant. Who are you speaking to?
I would think that anyone who says "only one type of genre" can topple WoW is arrogant. So, ironically, in an in-direct way, you are a hypocrite.
Congrats!
Ya because star wars pre cu was so popular...........
The next game to beat wow will be free and not a rpg.
Own, Mine, Defend, Attack, 24/7
The thing with wow is that it attracts, kids and adults, girls and boys and this is why it is so popular, War won't kill Wow, because its not the most female friendly and its definatly not really designed for kids now with its great big RvR etc.
A star wars mmo won't be the one to do it either, mainly because its star wars, most kids won't know wat star wars is anymore, its not really 'girly', and only a few adults like the whole sci fi thing, so again its too niche to truely work.
If you crossed hello kitty online with say war then you could be on to a winner, girls and boys attracted into one game, 2 sexes, 2 times the player base
...the next MMO that Blizzard releases.
The only one that is going to pull them down off their #1 spot is themselves.
That doesn't make any sense, how would a remake of SWG pre - cu be a serious contender to touch WoW? The CU was there BECAUSE the game couldn't compete with WoW in the first place.
Better than SW would be Star Trek !
A place no one has gone before!
A starship with each player having a role (party).
new worlds to explore ...
MMMM I would play it no doubt.
SW is too fantasy like. Give me the SF of ST:TNG
And please !!!! no EVE. That's not a game, that's spreadsheet for handicapped persons sitting in their eternal chairs. I want to WALK on a planet.
Yeah I agree, at this point there are WoW players, ex-swg players, and ultra-casual gamers who won't stick with anything more then a month. Something needs to happen soon, cause most of us are fronting as ultra-casual gamers and after a while we'll just give up on MMOs.
Not that this means the next SW MMO will be anothing close to the old, but If it was some of the old mixed with some new it would pull the ex-swg vets out of WoW along with a few of their friends. We don't need it to come close to WoW, just do well enough to keep the devs from from thinking about screwing with it.
It's not better, ummmm because Star Trek wasn't as dark. It was like utopia in space with threats that lasted a day or so then everything was yippy skippy again (Holo Deck time!). It's just not as dark as Star Wars and would bore me to death.
For real though, you already have a Star Trek MMO on the way, Stay out of the Star Wars thread xD
lol you are so missinformed. Did you just make that up? Ther were like 10 reasons from what Jeff Freeman told me.
Err- You have realized there is STO in development right? Star Ttrek? Space ships and walking on planets? Granted.. the whole party ship thing was scrapped.. but still.
I dunno though- I really hope if it is a Star Wars MMO being developed that it isn't KotOR... I mean. Galaxies set itself in a new theme. Now it was just shortly after ANH- but the movies hadn't covered on that. They just skipped to ESB. Leaving gaps in between. I hope it goes after the KotOR yet before the movies started. Before luke. There's a HUGE gap there and it would give the developers a lot of room to stretch and work with.
WAR however will definitely NOT break WoW... not that WoW is unbeatable.. but WAR IMHO is crap. I got into the open beta and uninstalled it the same day. It's just not my type of game I guess... but it certainly won't beat the fame WoW brought unto itself.
Maybe a Starcraft MMO would do as well with Blizzard behind the reigns.. since Blizzard seem to be MMO chiefs.
Regardless of WHAT genre the next MMO falls under.. I really hope it's fantastic. I feel like we're living in a ghost town who's well dried up. We're thirsty and lonely. We need something new, something interesting. The only "new" things that come along are either poorly done and scrapped from previous games or just a renamed copy of another game already released. Bleh!
I'm so bored...
Edit:
and for clarity. STOP saying WoW is the greatest game ever. It isn't. Its simplistic and casual. Most people get involved, get bored and then leave only to drift back because the tide showcases nothing else of interest. WoW is the king of mediocracy and arrived at the right time when there was a beginning dry-spell of MMOs, much like the one we're in now. Notice how there isn't this gigantic excitement for WotLK compared to BC? Thats because WoW has reached its' prime and has begun a spiral down. Not to say it will suddenly be canceled.. no.. but all MMOs have a life span;
Hype -> Release - > Growth -> Sucess/Failure -> Prime -> Decline -> Drift -> Cancellation.
Wow has JUST entered the Decline phase of its life cycle. Because of WoW's success it will likely stay in Decline for a very long time. Sub numbers will diminish and then grow some, dimish and stabalize. This will go on and on until it reaches Drift where the subs will primarily level out for good. Cult followers will remain with the game while the majority move onto the newer games. Eventually Blizzard will close the serversa nd shut the game down for good. However- How long until the cancellation date is unknown. Some games, created over ten years ago are still running. Others have lasted less than two.
Now- I'm not saying WoW is bad... or sucks... it's just an MMO.. it's not immortal in any sense.

-Waiting on-
Star Trek Online
SW: The Old Republic
tired of such thread no one can beat Blizzard until next decade
for your reference what U.S dream team did in the 1992 Olympics
Star Trek Online looks very fascinating. SWG is about as good as it gets with the Star Wars MMO franchise. Wait for Star Trek Online...
Hasen't it already been announced that the new bioware mmo is kotor?
Nothing will topple the initial first 5 year success WoW has had. Nothing. Seriously. I can't wait to see the KOTOR MMO being created, but will it touch WoW? No. Definitely not.
World of Warcraft II, Gamon's Revenge
I have to agree about WaR...I just wasn't impressed.
The RVR was a zergfest and the character progression was kinda boring. Theres not much individuality you can put into your character- even your gear selection is pretty much mapped out for you. And the crafting system, what a joke. I wanted this game to be alot of fun, but at the end of OB I just felt disappointed.
Regarding Star Wars, I liked SWG alot but i'm personally more into low tech fantasy. Someone should do an MMO based on ancient mythology imo, with bronze age tech.
lol you are so missinformed. Did you just make that up? Ther were like 10 reasons from what Jeff Freeman told me.
uh huh, and the fact the game looked more and more like WoW was a total coincidence amirite?
No, the only game that can touch World of Warcraft is Universe of Starcraft.
many games are the same style as wow at the moment..but i don't think any of them could touch wow...even better than..
I prefer to treat them as different kind of MMOs, even though they're all massive, multi-player and on-line.
WoW is a masterpiece today, and it will still be looked upon as a masterpiece in the future. In fact, people avoid to pit two masterpieces against each other, especially when they're in fact not of the same flock.
would you compare a noble physics winner with a biology winner?
Who cares about how many people play a game. Its how good the game is that matters. WoW a masterpiece? Dont make me laugh. It's a dumbed down MMORPG with no new features.
McDonalds and WoW......enough said.
I will have fries with that - Muahahaha. WoW is great , it spanked the hell out of SOE so much that they had to mutate all of their games to compete and in doing so lost more business.
I am looking for fine dining in my next MMO not the Mcdonalds , Burger King or Jack In the box.
Sand box with the mechanics that allows player driven content - Like the Pre-CU of SWG so far that appears to be Earthrise.
Unaware of the Jestor?
