do you think Microsoft can make that happen?

If you look at it from the “any publicity is good publicity” angle, I guess.

a sequel to WoW would be a financial disaster. Too many people are stuck to this game by sunk cost alone. If the first game ever shut down, the percentage of players jumping ship instead of moving to a sequel would be insanely high. And if the first game runs concurrently, congrats, you’ve successfully split your playerbase and made both games worse than they could be.

As someone that’s not overly attached to my account progression (I care about characters, not achievements and collections, and character progression soft resets regularly anyway), I’d love to see a WoW 2 just to see how an up-to-date WoW feels, but I know it’s an endeavor Blizzard will never choose to take on, for good reason.

6 years ago i would problaby have said yes to WoW 2. But after watching Blizzard botching pretty much every single project they have worked on in the past 5 years. I would be extremely cautious of a WoW 2.
I likely wouldn’t even consider it until a year after launch, even if the word of mouth is good. Because Blizzard have a habit of breaking games post launch.

That said, i don’t think there is even a chance for WoW 2 until way after WoW 1 has died. No reason to launch a sequel while the first one is still active.

Dragonflight is practically a WOW 2 since it’s back to basics. By having these things ingame right now:

  • adding back talent or skill tree
  • more outdoor content
  • freedom to do anything you want to do
  1. dungeons
  2. raiding
  3. PvP
  4. rep grind
  5. outdoor content
  • revamp professions
  • more story content
  • achievement collecting
  • transmog collecting

Many more…

This expansions is by definition a reset.

Overwatch 2 was successful at getting me to uninstall the game.

Literally every single one of your posts are about what content creators think. What an absolutely sad life you must live

I would like to see a WOW 2 with some conditions. Each player on retail should be able to send new toons on WOW 2 items which would be considered an inheritance.
Also new quests, new adventures and new yearly holiday events

No. They have split the community enough. If they changed a lot of that, especially the graphics, it’s no longer wow.

33

I just want a new good MMO. I don’t care if it’s WoW 2, or something else.

34

Would have to be like 200 years in the future.

Even then…majority of the elves would still be alive but…what can you do.

Yeah not only can I not play it on my computer, it caused the system to freeze. I had to uninstall it and edit my registry.

They did this with Everquest 2. It’s one of the biggest failures in game history. Good game too. When you release a new MMO game, you no longer have the biggest advantage wow has - a huge population of players and content. Suddenly you’re competing with new games and the bar is much higher technically. EQ1 was p much the only MMO at the time. EQ2 was competing with City of Heroes, WoW, Star Wars Galaxies, Matrix Online, EVE and a half dozen other huge games.

No WoW 2 and i don’t care about new players or what they want or miss out on.

If it includes new/fresh battlegrounds? Sure :drooling_face:

He also has no friends.

Oh no.

There’s plenty of content. Not all of it is current content, but it’s there. Getting Loremaster achievements on new characters, soloing old dungeons on low levels, battle pets, transmogs, there’s a lot to do.

You do realize how many people on this planet hate Overwatch 2, right?

I would like a world revamp with new, DF-era assets and stuff, but I would not like a new game, especially with all them next gen graphics.

No company with competent leadership will make an MMO.

Where did you see this? Their battle pass and skins sold a ton.
