When do you think wow will die?
How do you think wow will die?Eventually, Blizzard will quit supporting it. The player base will start dropping off; that's when Blizzard will announce their next-gen Warcraft MMO. After that point, there will be no real demand for WoW, and servers will start merging and shutting down.
What can blizzard do to try to prevent wow from dying?I'd like to say "step up the quality of their writing." But the truth is, the game will survive as long as it's being supported. Because fans.
What can other MMOs do to steal players from wow?Red herring. The market can handle more than one MMO, and some of us play more than one.
If a great MMO came out similar to wow, would you try it?
Why or why not?I'm playing Rift. It's mechanically very similar and still a bit glitchy, but there
are
things that it does better.
If a great MMO came out NOT similar to wow, would you try it?Define "not similar."
Everquest-refinement hotkey MMOs are most likely here to stay, although it could be further refined. I could, however, do without the two-faction system or character classes.
That said, I do plan to get GW2. But it remains to be seen how far removed from the Everquest refinement model that really is.
Would you cancel your subscription to play a better MMO without a subscription fee? (pay once)No. Why cancel my subscription if it's a one-time fee?
Would you cancel your subscription to play a better MMO WITH a subscription fee?It'd have to be a helluva good game, because I'd miss my guildies.

I simply like wow over others because....I'm familiar with it, it feels right, like it should be. The world looks good, feels good. Character detail, although kinda cartoony, is still better than most. I like being able to be a gnome, human, worgen, undead, tauren, orc, belf, nelf, dranaei, dwarf, goblin, troll, etc. rather than be (human, demon, or elf......BORING) like in most mmos....the gear is WAY coooler looking and mounts are better...all other games the gear just looks dumb, not flashy enough....makes it really not worth trying to get...even if wow is lacking on gear, still better than most. PVP is way better in wow, other games are just kinda corny...really everything about wow is better tbh. Rift is fail...and when you ride on a mount or walk it looks like you are gliding across the surface, shadow detail fails, character detail is better than wow, but yet again only be a human, demon, or elf...boring...not as much content, i dont want to learn a new game, kinda like halo...its original in fps...wow is the opriginal in mmos, you just cant beat it....maybe instead of more expansions or a completely new game....make WoW2 or something...but with different races and classes, with more customization, etc. I will stick with wow for the long haul...

This Cataclysm expansion was the WOW killer. You all are playing World of Cataclysm now. World of Warcraft is already dead and the game now has nothing to do with it. It doesnt deserve to be called even a "game"! Why? .... thats why:
- people refuse to loot in dungeons (drives me crazy...)
- you level up so fast, that you cant experience even one entire zone
- you level up so fast, that you can experience only 30% of the game, and do the rest 70% only for achevements (shame and waste of developers work)
- absolutely pointless professions while leveling
- no more real elit quests, everything is soloable, or with elit npc help
- removing dungeon and raid keys was realy bad, ppl grind dungeons without even knowing where they are. (remember Onyxia key quest chain - so epic)
- free time to play > skill (frustrating)
- no more friendly chat, everyone thinks hes the best and flame the others
- so much zoning, no more choice where to quest
- ruined talent trees, no more individual play style
- EVERYTHING is so EASY, even my grandmother can play
I cant call this a "game" anymore... and it was so great. I feel sad!
There is no need of WOW killer, Blizzard killed it already and it is dying slowly

Same thing that was done in Wrath? So it's been dying for several years by your opinion there.

What I am telling is that there used to be challenge for everyone all the time:
- challenge guesting with elit npc or more adds
- even challenge in lore, to find guest locations, who, where, why. Now you press "M" and you are almost done the quest.
- challenge in dungeons where rogue sap and mage sheep was realy needed on most add groups, and all mana classes needed a rest after that. Now everything is just a 10 min rush.
(Example from last night: I: WE skip a boss, lets go back. Tank: No! Finishing the dungeon gives more xp the killing a boss.) ?
- And the dungeon quests inside - this is so lame. There used to be dungeon quests involving to finish 2-3 dungeons, fly and quest tru half Azeroth for the next quest chain and ofc nice loot at the end. Now its all ruined and ofc boring.
A game must be challenging all the time, not only the end content, thats why playing WOW is not only boring those days but pointless to.
