| Seraphic_Sixaxis said: I forgot they were making a full sequel finally to GW, and now its actually going to be a MMO unlike GW's instance only missions, and its gonna' be free! Everyone thought Aion was gonna finally take down the MMO giant that is WoW, but it failed, true Aion has style, but it lacks class. oh and theres still that monthly fee... So since GW2 is gonna be free, do you think we may now have a major contender for WoW finally out of hundreds that continue to fall short?

Nope. The market doesn't work by ways of better. It works under the principles of is it good enough for what I want and did it come first. I know GW2 is not out, but I can say that I have played it before. You make a fantasy hero with stats, class, skills, talents.... kill things and complete quests for XP to level and rewards for gear. Max out your level then begins big raids for better stuff. It's the same game with a different skin. Thus an already existing game is there and thus the new kid isn't going to replace it.
If an MMORPG wants to dethrone WoW it needs to do something that WoW doesn't do or can't do. Much like WoW doing something that EQ didn't do. Well designed, easy to play and reward players. EQ and it's ilk of the time didn't do anything near as good as being easy to play.
So what makes anyone think that GW2 which is supposed to play like the WoW design going to dethrone WoW?
Heres what I want from an MMORPG. A Role Playing Game in the sense that it's meant to rewards ROLEPLAYING not combat simulation. RolePlaying games are about playing a Role and choosing actions based on the Role. Theres nothing like it in the world of MMORPGs. No MMORPG rewards RPing a role.
GW2 overthrow WoW. Hell no
Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.
