Every single time a new, big IP based MMO gets announced or gets near to completion, everyone starts asking the same question. Is this going to be the one that kills WoW? Usually it’s accompanied by that standard image of a gravestone with World of Warcraft plastered on it.
I don’t understand why so many people want WoW to die anyway? I mean, after all it really is a fun game – it’s just one you need a break from now and again or you risk getting sucked into a vacuum of repition and doom yourself to a lifetime of raiding and chasing the carrot on the stick.
If you are like every other gamer out there, you eventually get burned out on any game. The new games coming out will be no different. WAR, AoC, STO, KOTOR-O and so many others will eventually get old as the new features or play styles they introduce begin to become the norm. Players will eventually start to return to the pool of gamers waiting for the next big thing – bouncing around from MMO to MMO trying to stave off boredom and repition long enough for something new to come along. Waiting for the WoW killer, as it were.
To be frank, I don’t beleive there ever will be a WoW killer. And if there is – the only title I think that stands a chance of killing World of Warcraft…is World of Warcraft 2. And even then…

definitely true. There will never be a game that will kill WoW. I have been playing WoW from the beginning and i’m still playing it until now. The game just keeps on getting better.
P.S. Can’t wait for the new expansion. 3 days to go
