AoC has potential to be a good game if they can pull it off. It’s an ambitious project and the devs have lofty goals so I think a healthy dose of skepticism is warranted until the game is actually delivered. Anyone who’s been around MMOs for a while has heard the “we want to be everything to everyone” line before and it’s never worked in the past. I do hope the game works out even if I don’t end up playing it.
What about Rift, wasn’t that suppose to kill it as well. kek Trion. kek kek. It killed WoW so hard they don’t even exist anymore.
Rift was pretty cool and had OCE before wow did. Warhammer was several years before Rift, lol.
Regardless, competition makes WoW better. There were aspects of Rift that ended up being incorporated into WoW.
Yeah but isn’t the company that made warhammer still around and not completely bankrupt?
Sure, they only licensed the property though, they didn’t make the game.
It’s players go bankrupt :). Models aren’t cheap.
Except it’s not even pretending to be a WoW killer, the two are hardly comparable.

You ever play another MMo? Clearly every MMo is just a WoW clone… at least that is what the chat of every mmo says on launch day.
Has hot bars…WOW CLONE!

LoL, FFXIV, SWtoR, Warhammer, GW were all supposed to be WoW killers and weren’t.
FF is still killing WoW
Classic killed retail for 5 months
TBC will do the same.
Ashes of Creation will also bleed WoW
Basically WoW is full of DoTs
FF never killed WoW.
Classic is still WoW.
TBC has not been announced.
All speculation.
Next?
You know what is killing WoW.
Hint: It’s not any game.
Ok i’ll just tell you. It’s the community.

TBC will be released…announced or not. If you dont think so then… LOL
IDK, I think there is a possibilty they skip TBC and go for WoTLK. TBC honestly wasn’t really all that well liked. I know loads of people that quit just because of the pvp ranking system changes alone.
Doesn’t change the fact that it has not been announced.
And I read over a dozen threads stating that WoW for consoles would be released… several years ago. Still nothing.
Next?

Two months to level? OP, have you seen the threads in GD whining about leveling taking too long? Hell, have you seen the threads in Classic Discussion whining about leveling taking too long?
Nothing can really kill WOW but its own development team. The game has been online for almost 16 years. It has generated billions of dollars in both direct and indirect sales. Even with reduced subscriptions, it is historically an industry behemoth and has changed the MMO genre permanently.
Classic didn’t even hurt WOW Retail because they are the same subscription. It doesn’t matter which you play because Blizzard gets the same amount of money each month.

because console wow is happening in 2021/2022
FFXIV never pretended to want to kill wow, hell the developer for 2.0 and on is a huge WoW fan.
Only a few games have ever called themselves a wow killer, like Wildstar. It’s the community that labels most things as wow killers.
Console WoW isn’t happening. or if it does happen, it’ll still require a mouse and a keyboard which will make it pointless.
Lets hope WoW will steal some good mechanics. Wow really struggle without games to steal stuff from.
