You cant kill WoW, WoW is the unstoppable force and the immovable object all in one. Age of conan...psh that looks like another DDO wannabe. DDO hmm wasnt that supposed to be the WoW killer? What happened? Vanguard..Woah this is the WoW killer right here hmm seems like SOE has taken over the rights the only company that has killed their own games.
Yes You may argue WoW gets boring at 60 BUT Wow has been out for almost 2 years now.. people have been 60s for the longest time now yet they still get Increased populations rather then losing their populations. The expansion will just haul more players in.
I forsee The WoW expansion to sell out more numbers then Vanguard and AOC combined.

Well, the op is right about WoW getting killed [art.
why should he put down the pipe? its pretty obvious that Burning crusade will outsell those two games.
You're probably right about the WoW expansion selling more copies than both those games combined.
It is obvious that you have no fucking clue what you are talking about when you are mentioning AoC. First off, it is nothing like DnD. Second, yes there is a single player portion. It is mainly there to introduce the player into the world and get them accustomed to the controls and how the game works. You do not have to pay the monthly fee until you finish the single player part and enter into the multiplayer. For future characters you have a choice of wether or not you want to play the single player portion. I believe Funcom has said that the single player should get your character to level 20, and after that there are still 60 PVE levels to go and 20 PVP levels until you max out your character. So entering into multiplayer is no where near endgame.
Also, have you ever heard of the "edit" button? Comes in handy sometimes, instead of having to make three seperate posts.

Your right

I think you appear to be the one who didn't read about Age of Conan. You enter the multiplayer aspect of the game 1/4 of the way through the levels and about 5% of the way through the content. (I say multiplayer because the entire game is played "online") Most MMOs have a tutorial, or training area. The difference is that you won't be charged a monthly fee to play that content in Age of Conan. For the record, it has been stated several times that this part of the game will take 10 to 15 hours. I think if you compare it to the tutorial of most MMOs, it will probably stack up a little better.
There is absolutely nothing about this game that makes it look like DDO. Your ignorance itself isn't really what appalls me... it's present your incorrect assumptions as facts that really gets on my nerves. You are not only incorrect, but your point doesn't even make any sense. You do not have to pay a monthly fee while you are working on the single player part of the game. How you find fault with that is beyond me. I guess all i can say is that you are wrong... period

And I foresee BioWare beating all these records. Please, raise the bar furthermore for I have no doubts that BioWare will completely redefine what a MMORPG is.

MMO's are something completely diffrent then single players games.

I agree with you too Game.
I mean, Blizzard created WoW as their first MMORPG - so look at their experience with that.
I mean, Blizzard had just a huge fanbase
I mean... aren't we seeing a pattern?

So, because Blizzard does it, it means Bioware will too?
I really don't see how Bioware has a better chance of providing us with a quality title then any other company thats based on mmorpgs.
I know that dude, but, theyre really good at making rpg's. Its biowares time!
they'll make something even though mmo genre will be unique
Im am sorry ...but i feel wow is the most complete game out there.Im playing since euro realease ,and still having a blast (i cancelled my acc 4 times...yet i kept comming back after 3,4 days )
Eq2,l2 and all the others are nice...but they just don't feel polished ***buggy laggy etc.
Gr8 games will come out , but i seriously doubt any game will beat wow in terms of active subscribers.
As a random fact ...Starcraft was ranked #1 best selling video game in the world .The only game that beated SC was Warcraft 3.... Blizz games may not be complex and deep..but still they offer pure fun

sorry ..my spelling suxz

So what if they are good at making RPG's? Zidane is good at football, so that must make him a great horserider too.
BioWare is not even on the same scale! They are RPG devs, which I don't see any worthy of such a title in the MMO industry unless they have past experience with a RPG company, yet they fail to change the MMO they join into a RPG!
Baldur's Gate is THE referrence. Torment make even Brad McQaid and his team dream sooo THEY name their company SIGIL, the main city of Planescape, where Torment happen. Neverwinter Night is a decent game and many peoples in EQ where praising it as the best game ever. Fallout is awesome. IDs are gorgeous! KOTOR are awesome and success on their own!
The only MMO company which can claim they have soo many success are: Blizzard! And guess what, their best success is their MMO and they barely have a RPG title which I would argue is not a real RPG with Diablos!
You have a right to not believe, I have a right to think you are a fool. See the roof, put the bar higher and I am sure BioWare will manage way above nonetheless! Not to mention that they won't betray their fanbase, so it will INCREASE and developp furthermore. After they release their MMO, they will be the company with the highest fanbase!
I would follow BioWare, to the Abyss themselves! You of little faith!

Absolutely not. I'm saying that both Blizzard and Bioware have a huge fanbase, which spans many generations, and have a lot of experience with both multi and single player games. Therefore I'm concluding that if Blizzard had a shot at an MMORPG, and had a huge success, I'm sure Bioware can do the same.
After all, where would Blizzard be without their pre-existing fanbase? Where would those first couple of million of fans have come from? No other company could have done that, except for Bioware and Blizzard.
