I posit once again that Blizzard Entertainment will be the one to kill WoW, not any other company. Perhaps a few big titles like GW2 and SWTOR will bite away a decent amount of subscribers, but only Blizz can give the lethal dose.

This is the best way to describe the WoW killer... Blizzard itself...

Thank god Blizzard isn't a shitty company like SoE is...... phew!!!!!

I really think Blizz is the only one that can pull such a thing off.

You're so right. It's stupid how ppl always need to talk about 'which is the best mmo'. I still play WoW and SWTOR at the same time. ATM I play swtor by myself and my bot WoW..^^

The problem I have with this comparison is the necessity that every game MUST be the best exploration, story, PVP, single-player, multi-player, social, economic game to even be considered by the populace.

GW2 is said to be the next MMO killer yet there is virtually no information on how. They say they are getting rid of the trifecta tank/healer/dps roles, but tell me if a tank can heal/dodge all their incoming damage then what prevents that solo person from exploiting the whole fight?

Rift tried big overworld events and what happened is they work when people are around, but they don't when you get left behind by all your friends. You're stuck trying to put a group together to try and kill the overworld boss or they make the overworld boss so scalable that you can essentially solo it.

The point is that WoW isn't even the best of all those things people have just found their niches in WoW for the very reason that people flame Blizzard up and down. The content is too generic, its too easy, its unbalanced, its boring, rehashed, ect ect ect...

Yet when someone comes along and does some aspect of the game differently, such as storytelling, the game essentially gets torn to pieces because they aren't focusing on competitive PVP and making competitive end game raiding, and competitive theorycrafting, ect...

The problem is I get the feeling the Bioware INTENTIONALLY left out the competitive PVP ladder and some of the other potential end game competitive things to make people focus on what they are focusing on, the story. I'm sure the other things will come out, but no where do I see the necessity for them to even try to compete against on every single gameplay style simultaneously.

Star Wars is its own game...as far as exploration I honestly can't remember an MMO that has had SO many little hidden nuggets in things such as datacrons that have legitimate hidden puzzles and things to explore. Timed, jumping, multiplayer all kinds of different puzzles to get the datacron. Sure they can easily be exploited and such, but tell me another game that has them.

I completely agree with the post, I'm one of the players who bought it and thought it would be something special. It is in its own way but it wasn't what I was looking for, the game is great but feels more like a single player game and I'm not sure if I will be paying monthly for it because of this.

However, it has been a good game to take a break from WoW on.

I personally feel that people still play wow because that is where they feel "safe", sort of the same as when you are in a long term relationship and you stick around because you are afraid of what will happen if you leave.

[imdasandman]

I still play wow because honestly it is free for me to play (RAf payed gametime imo). Swtor has alot of appeal to it don't get me wrong but I am not willing to reinvest the amount of time I have put into WoW into a new mmo.

[Madcalibur]

Sorry, I don't mean to be rude, but you don't "invest" time in a mmo, you lose it. And SWTOR is nice change of pace from WoW endless grinding (endless drop quests, etc). I still play wow, but SWTOR appeal to me a lot more because of what other people hate:the storytelling. You are important, what you do matters. This is a feeling I don't get in wow. Leveling while having a entertaining story told to you is way more fun than "Go kill 30 of those lions there and move on to the next zone".
