    Lightbulb World of Warcraft "without a question" Will Last 10 More Years!


    Source: http://www.pcgamer.com/10-years-of-w...n-hazzikostas/

    Recently, PC Gamer did a interview with Lead Developer of World of Warcraft Ion Hazzikostas discussing the 10 year anniversary of World of Warcraft. Being asked if WoW will last another 10 years, Ion Hazzikostas stated it will "without a question" last another 10 years. Do you agree? In the video I state my thoughts, leave yours down in the comment section below!

    Thanks for reading/listening!

    It probably will be around, but in what capacity?

    only reason it will stay is because there aren't enough games with that much content and there are so many horrible wow rip offs, they think it would work by copying it but don't have a good developing plan and fail.. makes me facepalm so hard

    I guess it will stick around as long as they have enough people for a handful of servers.
    Wouldn't cost much to keep a few online and only provide minor updates etc to it.

    (Not that it is anywhere close to 'dead' yet)

    This. Even though WoW still has millions of subs, they don't need anywhere near the amount of subs they have now to keep making money.

    As long as they aren't losing money, they have no reason to shut servers down. Plenty of older games are still going, even if their population isn't that large.

    Of course it will be around for another 10 years! Unless someone develops an actual WoW killer within that time span...which isn't likely if you look at all the fail wow killers that have been released. xD

    WoW is dead - every patch you do the same, rehashed content and everyone just laps it all up like hungry puppies.

    EQN looks like a pretty awesome game but I don't think it would be a WoW killer. I can see it putting a nice dent in the amount of active players on WoW though!

    Fixed that for you.

    And not all that surprised that it's still going. Dunno if it'll last another 10 years but either way, it's still pretty fun just messing around with friends and playing it casually since I don't have the time or attention to play it hardcore like I did back in the day.

    We also get quite a bit of new stuff with patches and expack.

    New lvling content (New areas/questing), dungeons, pvp areas, raids, mechanical changes, we had scenarios added in for story content, now we gettin garrisons, in cata we had a pvp area that actually unlocked a raidboss for the winning faction (that was nice, I loved tol barad), new stuff to farm, we always have access to battlegrounds too :P arena seasons for pvp players.

    I'll be honest here, it might not be a whole ****in lot in term of ''new'' I mean its still the same game. But its a dam lot more than most games out there. Everytime an expack comes out, it seems bigger to me than most new games I see.

    It'll also draw from the less popular mmos like FFXIV and Elderscrolls, which will make WoW seem as popular as always.

    Probably before then.... level 100 is the last character level cap, but they can always add more item levels.

    They could always add some sort of reborn crap to the game.

    But I don't know. I don't play WoW.

    They wont.
    They said they would raise the cap higher than 100, cold just likes spreading misinformation.

    They made it 100 to dispell the myth that nothing comes after 100.
