People will always play WoW. For many, the nostalgia is too deeply engrained in them. For others, Iâd say it is just what they are familiar and comfortable with.

Not a killer, but itâll definitely be some competition.
Hopefully.

I get the same vibe from that new MMO as I did with RIFT.

Be careful. I made a thread similar to this and it got deleted for âtrollingâ. I guess discussing a new MMO thatâs being lead by past WoW developers is considered trolling now.

Depends on how you presented yourself or if it devolved into general chaos.
Itâs not the first MMO to be made by past WoW developers. I like the LoL lore that Iâve seen, but I worry itâll attract the fan base. For as bad as WoWâs community is, it doesnât hold even a tiny candle to the rampant toxicity in LoL. That is a new layer of horrible that I donât think many other communities come close to.

Rift was amazing in Vanilla, did so many things so much better than other MMOâs⌠rewarding exploration through the artifact and rare/named systems and didnât have the punishing, immersion breaking issue that WoW does where youâll kill a named, then 5 seconds later you get a quest to kill that same dude. If the person was needed for a quest in vanilla Rift, they always dropped a quest item regardless of whether you had the quest or not. They did a lot of little things right to make the world feel more immersive.

I will admit it was ok at firstâŚ
True. LoL has the absolute worst, most toxic players. Many will avoid this new MMO simply for its association with LoL. Including me.

If the MMO is F2P, Iâll try it but thatâll kill it fast.
If itâs B2P, Iâll try it and maybe hang out for a little bit to see.
If itâs subscription based, I likely will pass.
Iâm not sure how Iâd like it though. Most of the characters in that world are just established lore characters. If they only have playable humans, I wonât even look at the game. But if they had some interesting playable races, I might weather the toxicity to try.
Current generation grew up only playing fps type games so I doubt it.

Have you not seen the wow community?
I donât understand, do people not realize how toxic wow players are?
Legit one of the worst gaming communities around.

Youâre right, they make âacceptableâ games.
Oh no, WoW is bad, donât get me wrong. Blizzard games in general have a toxicity about them.
But LoL has a lot more players and the issue of being free to play. The toxicity is naturally going to be far worse, especially when someone can simply keep making new accounts so thereâs no punishment if youâre an awful human being.
If they make a proper MMORPG and not some MMO-Adjacent thing like weâve been seeing a lot lately Iâll be really interested in it. I donât care for League at all whatsoever, but it seems like theyâve built a decent universe around it, so Iâd be interested in an MMO set in it. If itâs not PvP-Focused. I donât know anything about it yet.
That said, the term âWoW Killerâ itself is dead.
WoW is not anywhere near its peak anymore. Even if a new MMORPG comes out and becomes the new King, which in itself is doubtful because the entire genre is at a low point and leaning the way of the RTS, it wouldnât be a âWoW Killerâ, it would be because WoW killed itself. Itâs not title-worthy to kick over the old man and sit in his chair. (Not that weâre there yet)
If we had a real WoW Killer back in the 2009-2014 era, THAT would have meant something. It would have meant something was so good or innovative that it surpassed what previously was a crazy anomaly of an MMORPG.
But we never got that.
