I don't really believe that. MMO's can still be strong it's just so many of them fail because they try to directly compete with WoW when that is a giant mistake. MMO's other problems is that the developers think they can release broken games when people have showed time and time again they only have so much patience. |
I think there is much room for improvement with MMOs as well, and I think it's great what FFXIV have done in terms of trying new things, like with the classes, but it's a shame that it's been released in its current state.
If you want an MMO that is really looking to bring the genre forward, I suggest looking at Guild Wars 2, because there you have a game that truly does new things with the genre, and I think people are craving something like that. It's not going to be as successful as WoW (mainly because it doesn't have a subscription fee, and thus will never generate as much revenue), but the dynamic world that players can influence, the true cooperative play and the personal storyline are just a few of the things that set it apart.
