What will be the new WoW?

Log in to rush me to 80 so we can do heroics!

Whenever Nintendo comes to the realization they can make a MMO with the Pokemon license...

Course their too busy making Mario Party 29, Cooking Mama in Space and Wii Sports Redux to get to that level of business anytime soon. Not to mention their complete paranoia concerning online anything...

Nintendo doesn't have the chops to make an MMO that would dethrone WoW. They're focus is elsewhere.

Next big thing in MMORPGs?

Yahtzee's "force feedback codpiece". It'd render geeks extinct, which is probably a mixed blessing overall.

It will either be Aion or Diablo III's battle.net.

WoW sucked graphically compared to other MMOs out at that time...

Personally I hated WoW, I prefer to play CoV Guildwars WAR or Diablo 2 (yes its not a MMO but still fun)

I go off of story then eye candy.

I would like to say the KOTOR mmo, but it won't come close.

It's got a bigger fanbase to pull from, but I can't imagine Bioware creating something so user-friendly as WoW--which is by comparison a fairly easy MMORPG--and so it won't get the casual population that WoW does.

True, I suppose it's better that way in any event...less eight year old Jedi trying to kill me.

Lol no. Raiding is easy, yeah. But arenas are still fairly difficult to be good at. Popularity has gone down because most people were trying it out and the system is currently broken.

Yes, burst is skill I forgot.

uhhh i think blizzard will kill its own game to be honest. i personally quit wow and now i'm just waiting for diablo 3. or star craft 2. sadly most other mmo releases lately are just toned down versions of wow, or buggy versions of it, or just out irritating versions of it. lol either someone will have to come out with something new, or blizz will just make a better game to keep their millions of players.
sadly it seems like wow got worse with each addition they try to put in. or each time they try to balance out classes. also i noticed that everything got too good too fast. next expansion (if there is one) people will have 100 000 health easy. which is ridiculous. hopefully they learned to plan ahead for next time. blizz isn't dumb or anything, they just had their first mmo. and they did an EXCELLENT job (being an ex wow nerd myself.) but i think it's time to start from scratch with a couple fresh ideas, and better planning.
cause to me.. molten core seemed way more epic than illidan.

What's your arena rating?

Season 2: 2k Warr/sham

Didn't play s3 and s4.

Got only up to 1700 in s5. Lost interest. To be good as a shaman takes skill but not a bursty Rogue, DK or Ret pally. Not Mages because on their own they are fine really.

WoW's lesser graphics are part of the key to its success. You don't need an uber Crysis-killing machine to play it; sure, some people dislike the stylistic choices, but I do think they disguise it well, and it all fits with WCIII.

As for story, Christ, what are you doing playing MMOs? :p

I feel WoW has an especially more entrancing atmosphere than most other MMORPGs too.
