World of Warcraft → Re: Is wow dieing?

TheThing, what it comes down to is retaining interest correct?

I can only speak for myself and my IRL friends, but MMO's aren't even our preferred game style most of the time. FPS style games like Halo, COD, Tribes are often our go to, but they don't retain interest long, things get stale, things are frequently not well balanced, social aspects aren't as strong.

WoW does retain interest and grasps the HUGE social importance.

Other games need to get on their level before they're in any jeopardy - GW2 isn't even close.

And I will continue to use Facebook until something else better comes along as well.

yeah socially WoW is the juggernaught... and I still can't wrap my mind around why.... maybe Raids FORCING it? or RBGs forcing it? or Arena forcing it?

at this point having adjusted to GW2, the only thing I miss about WoW is the social aspect... that's why I'm on WoW forums...

you people need to come to GW2 forums!

maybe what it comes down to with MMOs, is that there can only be ONE... which is a sad thought

everquest mmo junkies shifted to WoW, settled there and basically never left... something will come to replace WoW, the community will jump there enmass and that will be the new ONE and everything else will bescrewed

I completely agree with this.

Something will come and replace WoW - it just doesn't exist yet which is why I don't believe WoW is dying.
