I think that the first expansion destroyed the game. They added two big continents, about doubling the landmass. Pity that, where the original continents were full of lively content, towns, mobs, diverse landscapes, the new continents were drab wastelands rich only in ruins. And of course, the original content, which was good, became outdated and made irrelevant.

I will say the League MMO does have a good chance of getting its roots into the market and staying if they donât mess it up too hard.

In the news, things taken out of context and spinned to infuriate the masses. More at 10.

If you go by what they are hiring for one of the positions qualifications is having experience using Unity or Unreal Engine 4 along with experience with games for PC/Mobile/Console.
I could just be looking into it wrong but Iâm hoping they use a in house engine and I really hope itâs not for mobile. Just my opinion though.
I donât disagree seeing the hype itâs generating. That said though itâs bizarre to me how much of a pass Riot gets when their internal issues were OBJECTIVELY worse than anything happening at Blizzard, and we KNOW how bad things were at a Blizzard.
Like, Iâve pointed this out a few times and people keep willfully ignoring it, but $100 million settlement vs. $18 million settlement. Just imagine how much worse the situation was to settle for over 5 times as much as the company with the most publicly aware lawsuit in gaming. And even now, thereâll be people who will try and brush this comment under the rug.

I know itâs a common thing, as Iâve seen many posts identical to thos one over the past 15+ yearsâŠ
âŠbut with all the OG Blizz talent merged with Riots talents and talent they poached from Eve. Also the funding and development time the game has, I really think itâs gunna be amazing!
There are a lot of reasons why I think this way after reading into it but itâs just a wait and see. However it has the potential to be the one.
Also gunna be based on the Arcane(League of Legends series).
competition is good for both games.
But will it have playable undead?
Will it have trolls with beautiful blue feet?
In league lore thereâs a region called Shadow Isles with a bunch of ghosts and undead, so possibly?

New World honestly didnât look good to me from the jump.
I feel like the main thing New World had going for it that made people hype for it was the timing of how it was released when it was cool to hate wow (while wow was going thru a downturn and lawsuits etc).
Honestly though, Iâve done a good deal of research into the riot MMO and for the first time since starting wow, Iâm literally looking forward to it so I can join that game!

Some of you people overthink this and act like youâre loyalty to wow and refusal to simply try other games will hurt your status with wow or something.
No one truly wants wow to die. Competition will make wow better. New games with creative ideas will help wow more than canceled games will.
If New World waited another 6 months to release then itâd been much better off. Itâll take some massive changes to bring back players like me that got bored and quit. 1-60 and the wpvp was by far the best gaming experience Iâve had since actual wow vanilla. That awesome feeling died out slowly after hitting max level.
Riotâs game being good and giving wow competition is what everyone should hope for. Wow will be forced to be more innovative.
I think a lot of people leaving wow for ff is because wow is in such a terrible state the asian furry mmo actually starts looking lucrative. Wow lowered their bar to itâs competitions level.

Maybe this one that reads â2004-2012â can be modified into â2004 -2022â.
As much as I am unhappy with WoW right now, these threads serve no purpose as we know less than nothing about the riot MMORPG.
And WoW will always have a decent sized playerbase and continue to make money for whoever owns it. No matter the state of the game.
If you want WoW to get better, you should hope that the Riot MMO is good. Competition drives improvement, and blizzard seems to be complacent with WoW since there hasnât really been any real competition pushing them to prove why they got the crown all those years ago.

Any game that draws players away from WoW is competition. I am tempering my expectations on Riotâs mmo, but it is definitely on my radar for the future. (3 to 5 years from now)
Itâs impossible to tell until we see detail on what kind of MMO it will be.
If itâs going to be part of the sandboxy PvP centric MMORPG wave that is currently happening, it will be a big flop after a few months.
We donât even know what kind of mmo it will be⊠if itâs not a tab target/hotkey mmo with an established end game, itâs not even in competition.
WoW still maintains because it has great end game.
THIS.
100 times THIS.
You should all be PRAYING itâs good, it will finally get Blizzardâs butt in gear if it is.
Everytime another MMO tries and fails, that just makes the dev teams ego all the bigger and they go back to doing just enough to squeak by.
