If I at least try to be enthralled by your unfounded declaration will I get an achievement?

Considering Dragonflight is releasing probably in December, next year will be early days during Dragonflight. So tell me, will it die before patch 10.1 arrives, or after?

Can’t wait to see the going away party you’ve decided to throw. Should be a blast.

Those are great moments.

I snuck into Amarr space through a highly guarded gate where there were dozens of destroyed ships - this was with a week of play time.

People have been saying since 2005 that the game was going to end in 2023? Interesting

Based on what I’ve heard, Daneuser has killed the story, once again; so I’ll give you that.

You know, the last person who claimed a game is gonna die next year, didn’t really happen. Maybe back up with some data next time?

If it launches without fixing the plethora of talent tree issues* than very likely yes.

Wow has had 3 bad expansions out of the last 4, 4/4 if you didnt like legion. This game cannot afford another bad expansion. Now is the time for blizz to listen to its players, not next year and say “we could have done better”, NOW.

MMORPG’s don’t die anymore.
They go into maintenance mode, get slow updates with a massively decreased scale or frequency, or get resold to a third party who turns the game into a cash shop.

WoW will eventually turn into one of those.
So will FF14.
etc etc


It’s their ultimate fate, and it is inevitable.
The real question is how long do they have.

Things that are becoming normalized are UE5 and the ability to do 100+ v100+ combat on a server without lag. It’s going to be difficult for any extant MMO to compete when the next gen wave hits. Will they die? No. But they do have a lifecycle.

So, we’ll see where we are in a couple years.
