WoW has the content right now. There are great MMOs that have come out but once you hit that level cap, that's it. There isn't much for people to do when they get to the top just because the games are so new. WoW has had years to build up its content now that it'll take you a while to experience it all. People end up leaving the newer ones because they've ran out of things to do. Where then they go to wow and they are jumping into a pile of content.

Bert has had such a hardon for Guild Wars for years now xD I haven't heard much of anything that exciting coming from the guild wars 2 camp so I doubt it'll take the crown.

God damn Tera is all i'm hearing about lately. I think that one has a little bit better of a chance because it's taking a bit of a different aspect on the community aspect. They basically have it so the zones can be ruled by one guild. NPCs and all. That creates a great dynamic for the players. You're not just playing the game for the quests and monsters but you have to get involved in the world politics. If you want to attack the zone over so your guild can hold two? Go for it but you're going to have to fight a whole gaggle of actual players to try to take and hold that control. With that whole player vs player vs world mechanic makes me giddy.

People do get bored of quests and monsters and if you don't have content you have nothing to do. Well now you have something to do, to get involved in. I doubt it'll stay to the game too. I'm betting it'll leak over to social media sites advocating for whatever player-made factions.

WoW will hold the title for a good long while but it's interesting to see some of the games that are trying to challenge that role. WoW is dropping, that's why they let go about 1000 employees not too long ago. That's why they wont have a blizzcon this year. Right now people are bored of WoW but it's their only option if they want anything with content and few bugs.
