I dunno Marvel 3 came out 10+ years ago and it’s still going strong.

Instead of thinking “wow is doomed”,
Let’s think “the standard for mmos is going up!”

But your cookies will live on. You have a good legacy good Sir.

Some of those “modern mmos” are pay to win. I’m not worried about them.

WoW will carry on. It just won’t be leading the direction of the market like it used to, which is probably a good thing.

Every game since WoW’s massive rise to success back in 2008 has either tried to be the “next WoW” or has lost steam early on because it wasn’t. But WoW’s no longer the game everyone wants, so it’s falling in line with rising titles that seem to understand their players better.

It’s no longer THE polished game, it’s no longer the game pulling people away from TTRPGs, it’s just the decades-old rock star riding on the nostalgia of an earlier generation of gamers.

30 years sound like enough time to add ducks in game for sure.

:duck: /quack

Most of the ones I’ve seen/read about seem very shallow, tend to be PvP focused which I have zero interest in, and/or have no story to speak of which is a deal breaker for me.

There’s been a lot of hype at launch and then things die down either due to too many bugs or not enough to do - see New World, for example. Lost Ark has been popular in Asia for years and may do well over here, but so far what’s come out seems to be more niche than universally appealing.

Interest in WoW may be waning but it’s not because of any of these new games are spectacular but because of bad game design for far too long.

Electricity is scheduled stop working in about 25 years when the big solar flare hits. People will probably still play WoW.

wait is this a “_____ is the next wow killer” post where ______ is literally everything?

nice

Bruh 30 years. Wow hasn’t even been around that long.
