Disappointed by wow, lots of people I know make a break or simply stop playing the game. 4 millions is huge but lot of people stop (only after some months of playing) and are replaced by new comers. So I think if wow was better there would be more than 4 millions players around the world. Anyway wow was imo the very fist mmorpg for a large public in occident, now doors are open.

I think you also have to take into the fact that WoW is manily played by children under the age of 16. I know that at my school there is atleast 10 ppl that play it because they are new to the MMORPG and have been told by noobies its a good game. And yes for hardcore MMORPG playes its not the greatest of games as it is just way to easy. I've played Lineage 1/Lineage 2, Dark Ages of Camalot and a bit of Everquest and by far these 4 games have more substance than what WoW will ever have. It is a good thing that a MMORPG has taken of like this but just remember the whole community is almost entirely made up of the under 16 age bracket. I dont see why it was awarded game of the year for that achievent. If anyone wants to correct me on what i've said then go right ahead i like to hear criticism on my thoughts.

Dunno, gaming is now more popular than it was before. And wow came at the right time; helped by the biggest media campaign ever for a mmorpg. The paying methods also openned the way to non mmorpg world familiar people (prepaid card,etc). Edit : no daniel I think you're, in some way, right. But it's not only child, there are a lot of newbies (who could be adults) as you say. I've got a big time of /played in wow, and indeed there isn't a lot of substance, a lot of promises were made by blizzard and after months only a few came. And I don't want to wait (and pay) 6 months again to see some good pvp content (that's how it was shown I think, "a pvp game").

Listen... 600+ Million Dollar a year income from WoW 55+ Million a Month! You'd think they could fix there servers with that kind of income :ew: Seriously my forsight see them making more games in the same genre an taking over the world! GG Blizzard you can buy a small country in 5years!

[quote] Seriously my forsight see them making more games in the same genre an taking over the world![/quote] :no: If you think about it mate the only real reason Blizzard made WoW is because Warcraft 3 was already a big success and they figured they could make an RPG based game around. pretty much all they did was convert stratergy to RPG and i dont see them doing that with any of their other games any time soon. They would have to start from scratch again to make annother MMORPG and i relly dont think they would wanna invest that much time into a game when they already have a very successfull stratergy/rpg/shooter offline range already around. Maybe if they had kept the guys who had done Diable 2 they might have created Guildwars LOL (for ppl who dont know some of the designers of Diablo 2 helped to created Guildwars).

maybe if WoW didnt look like total crap they would have 4 million more ppl playing it or if it wasnt so easy to play either i like what they have done to make the genre more popular but lets hope to see some good games come out cuz of this :y:

You right about them not doing it to any others anytime soon atleast, the koreans would kill them if SC2 was a MMO instead of a RTS.

Thanks for correcting my Zaan, and i wouldnt mind if u could give me some more information about SC2 cause its the first i have ever heard about it

SC2= Starcraft 2 I was just making comparison about how most there games cant be made into MMORPGs to support your point. For example starcraft was a typical zerg stratergy game, converting it into a MMORPG would be incredibly hard if not impossible without screwing something up big time. Starcraft 2 isnt even in developement yet, hugh group of people wanting it to be made however. So i really cant say anything but sc2 is a dream :cry:

i think it would be pretty damn easy to convert starcraft to a MMORPG, change skins with WoW, change the environment, add some more skills, make it harder to level up. Hey might actually make it a half decent game World of Starcraft lol And a starcraft 2 would be pretty damn good, but for now i am happy with Starcraft Ghost
