    Default What will be the new WoW?

    We all know that WoW is one of the most popular MMORPGs out there but it is also reducing in popularity. (Slowly but surely)

    What do you think will become the next big MMORPG?

    It's reducing in popularity? Since when?

    WoW keeps hitting new milestones as far as I've heard.

    Not fantastically up to date, but these statistics never are when you have to compare so many different games. Either way I'd say it's, er, still pretty much right up there. For more info, clickity.

    Funny! When I was working on behalf of Blizzard at the UK World of Warcraft Wrath of the Lich King launch night I ended up chatting/flirting with some women who worked for Blizzard's accounts and subscriptions dept. I got a slightly more "up to date" or accurate figure than the charts BoB just posted. Around 13,000,000 active accounts at the time of the launch over 18,000,000 registered. They expected Wrath of the Lich King to increase those figures to around 25,000,000 registered and 18,000,000 active subscriptions. I'd say it's working for them. (yes I asked for 1% of those takings to be funnelled in to my bank account, even offered to have a WoW tattoo and play nothing but for 1% of those figures) Theres another pack in the works and theres the whole idea that they can re-develop the WoW engine (though the beauty of this is the low power requirement which allows even more people to play) to make WoW 2. Unfortunately for some people's point of view...theres not much sign of WoW going away any time soon.

    These two men know the score. Whichever route Blizzard chooses to take. Not that it'll happen any time soon.

    Seriously - as long as they have over half of the MMORPG market they will milk the suckers for all they're worth. Why bother spending so much money on a replacement when you can spend half that amount to come up with an extension to something already there and still end up with just as much money in the bank?

    Wow has been made very easy for noobs so that they can all do good in arena and all raid the bosses and all get the loot in the end. Nothing separates noobs from the pros in the game anymore except for mounts and titles which still a lot of people can have (even from the hard achievements).

    And Arena popularity has gone down 60% (from an article I cba to find).

    Most people find themselves raiding once a week and then not logging on at all till the next reset.

    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.

    I'm so burnt out on 10 mans and heroics that nobody wants to smurfing run anymore. Once the next content patch hits, I'm sure i'll get more enjoyment out of the game, but until that happens I know I won't be logged in as frequently.

    Sartharion 3D 10 man is serious business.
