^^Title. What do you think? I think it will probably Aion.
nothing that's been anounced thus far...
I'm not sure, too many geeks think they're "addicted" to World of Warcraft.
pokemon mmo
Please dont do this to us again. Im begging you please dont do this shit AGAIN.
NOTHING can beat it and NOTHING needs to beat it to be successful. You should be more concerned about what games will be worth playing in the future rather than who's gonna beat who. AOC and WAR both had a lot of players to start with and lost them all due to rushed and half assed work.
You seem new so ill say this. Game vs Game threads are ******ed. Everyone just tries making it seem like their opinions are the best and by page 10 it turns into a flamefest about why WoW is good and why it aint.
Furcadia.
Second Hand Lands.
Earth Eternal.
Seriously!
kinda agree with this guy and i love wow lol.
anyways yes don't do this shit again , a lot of people keep saying that this and that game will kill WoW and end up failing to do it.
"cough" warhammer online "cough" "cough" Age of connan online"cough" and so on. (im not saying that they fail im saying that they fail on beating WoW)
So please don't jinx aion -.-
As long as games keep trying to be graphic whores, nope.
Most think Graphics > Game-play.
Am I the only one who facepalms every time they see this same thread being made every week or so?
We all know WoW has 115 billion subscribers
Nothing can come close to playerbase :stare:
Get a different well known game company... Let's do nexon. Get any game, mabinogi or Maplestory.
Advertise it alot in magazines and flaunt your statistics everywhere. Maybe make it a cheaper monthly rate. Do some dumb commercials. Get a little more money and hire some star like Mr T. and make him have a mabinogi character that looks like him and he says some stupid crap. Release "expansion" and "gamepacks" in the stores. And wait a year or two.
And there we have a WoW beater.
I bet you Real Life can topple WoW in players.
WoW did not actually do much advertisements prior to initial launch, it was only after a few months before they discovered they hit the gold mine and decided to "expand", aka do mass advertising.
like i said, which company can estimate or predict they are gonna have so many paying players ?
Blizzard is funding money for nuclear weapons.
So are YOU, yes you sir.
We must stop this conspiracy, the current state of capitalism is worse than actual communism.
A virtual reality game would beat WoW in terms of population.
Now to be serious, no game can beat WoW in terms of population. It's been a few years since WoW's release to get up to 11mil subscribers. A new game would have to wait a few years to actually reach at least 10mil. Even so, the time you give the new game to reach 10mil, WoW would bump up to 20mil.
anyone rich enough to buy blizzard and then shut WoW down ?
Meh. Warhammer is what I used to have my bet on, in beating WoW. It could've...if it wasn't rushed by EA...:hmm:+ It's a pretty good game. In my opinion, it's the next best thing next to WoW. But it also got released at a bad time aswell...
technically it was already done by UO in 1997. When origin still hosted it. That is if your basing off the 11million.
Everquest once had more players than wow ever did.
Maybe diablo 3
I would say Guild wars 2, or Aion
Half-life 3.

Warhammer Online, soon enouph the world will see this.
they would need to:
-Wipe T4 and start from scratch
-remove 85% of the CC in the game
-get half close to a decent career balance and not screw it again in the next patch
-focus like 500% more in PvP and 500% less in PvE,
- make a decent city siege that doesnt involve doing a PQ for 6 hours straight while avoiding the other realm...most ppl that quit WAR,quit the day after a city was sieged for the first time in their server
and overall make the RvR game they promised instead of that endless door-beating-zergfest-snorefest with awful core mechanics
so yeah, i think Blizzard will release their new MMO and own the world before Mythic finally understands all thats wrong with WAR and take the first steps to fix it...not even talking about actually fixing it
Your just going to have to wait until WoW has had its time, no game started out with as huge a playerbase as WoW did nor did they get advertised like nuts on stuff like south park...you know how many guys who play games that watch south park and saw that episode? WoW really knew what they were doing there...I would say they were smart for doing that, which they were, but it also has a ton to do with them starting with so much more money than any other mmorpg has.
I'm sure if all of the people who play WoW were to stop playing for like say 2 or 3 weeks...then try every other game out there I would bet almost every single one of them would find at least one other game they would want to play. It has to do with personal choice yes but it also has a shitload to do with them playing WoW first and not being in touch with the rest of the gaming community because who cares they have WoW.
I'm glad they've found such a large playerbase, I won't be playing WoW probably ever as I don't find it to my liking but I think it's great that blizzard has that much of a following.
It really really bugs me when people start up stuff the WoW killer or WoW is better than all other games because those are all very ignorant things to say..there is no game that is going to "kill" WoW just as "WoW" has never killed another game...games don't kill each other unless they make a direct copy, change nothing about the skills or anything, and just update the graphics/animations and even then that's just a remake plus some people with lower computer specs will still play the old one...one game ruining another never happens because it just isn't possible.
Nor is WoW better or worst than any game, it is just different just as every other game is different from each other. Think of it as say...people. I think we can all agree that everyone is different even if it has to come down to the genetic material and whatnot..but we are all in the same species.
a high number of players is also indicating that the company is doing well, and this will also attract more players. its in the mind, if they log into a dead town, they will go "omfg, game is dying".
and besides, the millions of players in WoW are spread across so many servers. i think you are misleading yourself into thinking all the millions of players are clustered in one server. =/
Another game made by Blizzard.
Yeah I can because it's not a fact it's an opinion. There are lesser known games that are far more enjoyable to me and many other people the what is the Onrpg current flavor of the month. I always ask why people feel a large player base is so important because I do not respect quantity I respect quality.
You and others here seem to have the notion that a game must have a large player base in order for it to be good and no matter how much you or anyone else wants to classify good or bad as "fact" it's still opinion. And since we all use these forums to share our opinions on various subjects I don't see the harm in asking a simple question.
I'm not pissed, just wondering why you are so annoyed by the fact I don't agree with you and everyone else. I'm not the one saying 'if you're so much of an individual player, dont freaking play MMOs, go play some offline single player games. geez. you still dont get what the "MMO" in "MMORPG" means."
That doesn't sound too friendly to me, Buddum. Maybe it's you that's pissed.
I get ya, but at the same time I dunno. I mean who really cares how many people play the game you like if you enjoy it? I don't. I've spent a long time playing games in small, medium and large communities and more people comming or going was only a bonus, not requirement.
How is a number of subscribers an opinion? I didn't know we live in a world where a company gives an "opinion" about their numbers to investors and public.
The equation of "more people = better game" may be an opinion, but the fact that there are more people playing a game stays as fact, and from its numbers we can create a statistics which explains why the game is so popular. That may still be an opinion, but it's an opinion which is agreed by the mass. You can choose not to be in one of those mass, but the stats stays and tells us many things which you can't deny, and one of those is the fact that many people like that game.
Unfortunately, the world doesn't revolve just around you. You can't ignore people's opinion which are supported by facts of numbers.
