When will WoW die?

Post by Zz0mg

Next year. Look at all the hate comments for MoP. There wasn't nearly this many with TBC, WotLK or cata. WoW has had a HUGE decline in subscribers during cata, and now there are all these players wanting to quit. WoW is going to die VERY soon.

R.I.P WoW. You have been a good time waster for me since '07

Because this has never happened before after any sort of change in the game is announced.

I hear Harold Camping has some employment opportunities for you.

Of course this has happened before in previous expansions, just not as much hate as this one.

I hear it was the spiritual ending of the world ... again

On topic: I'm still not convinced MoP is not a very elaborate april fool's joke requiring a five month setup.
But Wow is still not dead. I doubt MoP will 'kill' it. A problem with Wow is that it has to attract new players as veteran players leave (simply because they're moving on). Panda's might attract a whole new target group of players.

Blizz is smart, and MoP isn't even in Alpha yet. That means that most of this is subject to change.

It will end in 2 xpacs, lv 100 cap, when Demon Hunters become the new Hero class, and when we down Sargeras. Mark my words.

I'm with Kailhun. Perhaps this was all an elaborate way to take distract people while they put together the real expansion. Yeah, no, that won't happen. But I can dream, you killers of dreams you. /cry

Going by older MMOs that still have live servers with obviously a big enough playerbase to operate normally (i.e. Everquest, Ultima Online, Asheron's Call and hell even Meridian 59) WoW still has a lot of years ahead of it, Blizz isnt just going to pull the cord a year or 2 after we reach lvl100, hell I would bet we will see levels past 100 regardless of what was said before, if WoW is still making a profit it will still be around. And that should be a good time from now, a MMO like Everquest, which was the most popular up until WoW came out peeked out at 500k subs iirc and is still going, they are 18 expansions strong with talks of another one.

WTF BLIZZ? Giving Allies shammys? WoW is dead i tell you! Shamans are only supposed to be horde and no one will play this stupid game anymore!

WTF BLIZZ? A class that starts at 55? That isn't right!11one!eleven!1 You are killing the game Blizz!

WTF BLIZZ? 10 and 25 mans giving the same gear rewards? Stop catering to the casuals Blizz. No one wants to play your stupid game anymore.

^^^ Sound familiar? There were more with each expac, but I didn't want to spend all day proving a point.

I love the prophetic predictions of wow's death. Been happening for a while now. Like all the 'end of the world' crazies in RL.

Don't let the proverbial door hit you in the you-know-what on the way out.

WoW, the only game that dies 365 days a year.For 7 years.

Will threads about "WoW is going to die" even die?

Also, I ask you doomsayers, what you mean with "dying"? Wow going under an x amount of subscribers? Blizzard shutting down the servers? Your precious and unique ass leaving it?

In any case, I can assure you, wow will still be kicking. There will be a drop of subscribers? Probably. We will got D3, Swtor and maybe GW2, and pretty sure they will divert at least the most bored players of wow. But it will take much much longer to "kill" it.

As long the income from subs (and other stuff) is bigger than the cost of servers maintenance (and other stuff) there will be wow running.

Post by davidfalling

Yeah, it's stupid to talk about WoW's death, because it's not going to die. Way too much money to be made! Subscriptions are still in the MILLIONS people, think of how much money that is! Plus, with the "Annual Pass" deal they just put out, they are just cementing in that income for another year.

I bet a strong majority of the people hating on this expansion will still end up buying it and playing the game. But if you truly hate WoW or the expansion packs (haters), why are you on a WoW forum? Why waste your time here? Just leave and play something else.

Bottom line: Hate all you want, but you'll keep payin and playin. And Blizz knows this. And that's why WoW isn't going to die until Blizzard replaces it with something else they can continue to make a killing on. ;)

That's always the right answer right there.

And to the minority of idiots screaming about 'Kung Foo Panda'.....yeah those morons can quit and leave the game to the rest of us.

WoW will die when Blizzard shuts down the servers.

Thats what everyone says at every expansion, "this is the death because there were less doomsayers"

Funny how art imitates life, whenever theres a new end of the world doomsayer, people say, Oh this guy is right because more people believe him than that last heretic.

Just an observation

When will WoW die?
