Will World of Warcraft ever die?

MSN's Gaming Goss looks at what made WoW a success and asks: 'When will it begin to fade away?'

[Dead_Gentlemen]

NO - the first mmorpg Ultimate Online is still alive... I could never see WoW go before that old dog.

why is Ultimate Online not even mentioned?

[Yoma]

When a new WoW have been released.

That a lot of old MMOs just fade away rather than die outright.
I think it's fair to suggest that WoW is not at the pinnacle it was, but I can't see it dying any time soon.
Not until someone finds a MMO that lets the solo loners do their stuff :)

Im not a fan of WoW in the slightest, but it definitely has the numbers over UO. Besides, WoW has a much better learning curve and is more accessible to casual gamers and non gamers. you dont get 10 million subscriptions from the hardcore audience.

WoW will not die as long as Chuck Norris is still in the game.

EDIT: now that I think about it, Chuck Norris died 10 years ago, but the Grim Reaper can't get up the courage to tell him.

At one point in time EverQuest was THE MMORPG that everyone knew about. It was the only MMORPG worth playing and everyone who was anyone had a character on it. It went on for years as the King of Massively Multiplayer Online Games.

Now who talks about it? Who plays it? Who remembers it? It wasn't but a few years ago that World of Warcraft knocked EverQuest off its throne. So who is to say that can't happen again?

"It was the only MMORPG worth playing and everyone who was anyone had a character on it" --you mean everyone who was no one?

haha, ahhhh

HOW CAN YOU KILL THAT WHICH HAS NO LIFE?

[Calcio]

Poke it til it moves, and then stamp on its neck...
obviously.

[kosha]

Err i dont think games have necks

[heylo]

Warhammer AoR will and is going to take a Huge chunk.
Conan on RROD2 (xbox) is going to take a few aswell if its still around then.
MMO's on PS3 more chunks from WoW.
New FF MMO

[Hinata4me]

NO it will never get old i just started i have a lvl 30 hunter and its new nd i never get bored each area is so difrent and it has surprises but the only annoying thing i hate about my pvp server(dreadmaul) is its harder to lvl up cause of the horde pest everywhere but i guess horde calls alliance pest to but that what makes it fun killing the other lol

World of Warcraft will end when Blizzard says so. As long as it continues to make money and Blizzard is certain that the game hasn't lost it's vitality it will continue.
