Not to mention its still stealing MMORPG communities up until now,
Tabul Rasa = down
Age of Conan = Ghost town
Sword of the new world = forced to go back to free 2 play now
I'm sure there are a hundred others. It weird because I actually enjoyed age of conan alot more than WoW but it was rare to come by another player, it felt like i was playing by myself that whole time, so bye bye.
The issue with new MMO's is it isn't the same market as before. In the past MMO's released with missing end game content and high end level content and people dealt with it, like they had before. Problem is now that there is a popular game and when people buy the new ones they expect this content in the game instantly and it just isnt.
Tabula Rasa was really a shell of a game, I didn't think it was any fun and seemed really bland.
AoC was a lot of fun till Villa grinds, but I recently went back, it's not as dead as you might think. They merged servers and if you look at their forums every day theres a ton of "coming back" posts.
Warhammer also took a large hit as they had to merge many servers.
I'm really curious what Biowares plans are with SW:TOR, I hope they plan to release with it almost competely or it might face the same fate.
Insecurity about playing WOW really shows there. I was bashing no one. I was warning about what it can do to people. You are a gleaming example.
I have no insecruitys about playing the game, I play it, it's mildly boring now, use to be alot more fun. If you had read this whole thread you would have seen I said this before and stated I never gave up a full time job, a gf, college, and a kid to play WoW.
But now I feel obligated to respond as you feel a personal swipe at me is fair game I feel the need to explain a bit. As it seems quiet a few here feel the need to broadcast their personal opinion on something whenever a thread is up about that subject, weather their personal opinion has anything to do with the topic at hand or not. This happens in Intel Threads by AMD guys, AMD threads from Intel guys, and ATi, or Nvidia threads. And now there are 2 people posting crap like this in this thread. If you has read the first page you might have already seen the derailment, or maybe you did and felt you still needed to get one good one in there, despite it having zero to do with the original topic.
If you feel thats what the game does and that doesn't have to do with the topic, why are you looking at the thread. Or if you feel that can happen to some people, don't flat out say that, at least try and post some on topic and add in to be careful. I will admit I did over react a bit, but just sick of offtopic personal opinion posts. But the second shot, seriously? Trolling, flaming, and posting on topic are all mentioned in the forum guidelines, you have been here long enough to know them. I really wish on topic posts were controlled a bit better, getting sickening seeing some peoples opinion that has zero to do with the thread just so you can search to some actual useful info.
, 10 million players, biggest mmo and online community in the world. can't really point to anything but being the most addictive game 
But you could try the WotLK 10 day trial and decide if you do or do not want to play again. Then it ends up costing you $0 too. But I know what you mean, I've played on a few servers alone and it was very dull, ended up going back to play with friends and is much more enjoyable. Especially since I don't really feel like raiding anymore, can still talk with them and mess around on lowbies.
