Its bound to happen, its impossible to be number one for so long. WoW had a hell of a run though and im sad to see it go [Btw i play gw now, and have not played wow since wotlk]
Oh interesting, here is an mmo that I've never tried going F2P. Of course I said this for Lotro too and I didn't enjoy that as much. Will have to try this for sure, hope its good.
I'd rather pay for a game that has quality and content backed by a solid company, rather than play a free game that lacks the basic things that make an mmo succeed.
