Tarisland, the sandbox MMO developed by Tencent to replace World of Warcraft in China following Blizzard’s exit from the market, is a step closer to launching globally. The sandbox MMORPG is coming to mobile and PC globally this year.
Say that to the hundreds of mmorpgs that are dead and burried because they chose to compete with wow since 2005
FF XIV seems to be doing just fine. But then again, they have an actual compelling story and the best soundtrack of any MMO. I played WoW for over 12 years and could not make heads or tails of the story after a while. It was like trying to keep up with Mortal Kombat lore, lol.
It's a shame they cancelled EverQuest Next. I was really looking forward to that game even though I usually hate MMOs.
This, there are other art styles, if I saw this game in passing, I would just assume that it's WOW, standing out with a unique art style is generally a plus for a new game.
Yes, just like all those games between 2008 and 2012 that replaced WoW. Oh, wait…
Not in 2012, but nowadays… Depends on what you are talking about. Player base? Yes, it is already not the number one anymore. Therefore, replaced. Quality? Yes, there are already much better looking and fluid MMO’s in the market. Therefore, replaced. I’m sure I’m missing sum’.
I'd say even earlier to later so many games tried to go at wow directly appealing to the more hardcore crowd and failing every time
