yeah good lad,well they need to upgrade their pc/laptop. the game is over 5 years old

WoW Will always remain the #1 MMORPG, not because it's so massive and the sales, it's because the depth in the game is like none other, and has yet to be topped.

OFC u forgot it's comming out b/c there are like 2000 gazzilions of other mmos comming out, all of them soooo special that they gonna dethrone WoW. /irony_off

Noone with a brain in his head had thought that Aion could take down WoW. Noone with a brain in his head thinks that GW2 has a chance to dethrone WoW. The only way for WoW to go is by destroying itself, which ultimately will happen when Blizzard decides to.

^This. Nothing can touch that.

One thing that I believe will help the product which eventually will unseat World of Warcraft is the dramatic increase in processing power that has happened since World of Warcraft launched. While some people will assume I am referring to prettier graphics on the client end which has not had an impact on WoW so far, I actually think how it influences the server side will be more dramatic. MMO games for a very long time have had very rudimentary interactivity because server processing power is split to support a world that handles thousands of users. The result of this is encounters which are (generally) very primitive and representative of single player RPGs of a decade earlier. In the next couple of years, you should be able to present a fully interactive world which could create a game dynamic not currently available in any game.

I doubt it. Diablo 3 however will dethrone it :P

For the same reason that I always only buy the 'must have' games for consoles and the games with long replayability and nothing else. I don't like spending lots of money on gaming. It's not that I can't afford it, it's just that usually I have more important things to spend money on.

what,you cant spare 15dollars a month??

Well, since quality for one person might be garbage to another, we may never agree, but in my eyes, Guild Wars was superior to WoW. I tried WoW and found it to be exceptionally boring. Yes, it had, and still has, an incredible amount of polish, but the gameplay is laughable. With WoW, grind is the word. And thank god, you can have an opinion without the majority being right. How people put up with it is beyond me.

In Guild Wars on the other hand, you can be maximum level, have the best armor available and have good weapons just by completing the storyline. The game is focused on player skill, and doesn't require you to level up or grind for equipment or cash to be competetive. It's all about having the right tactics and choosing the right setup before going into battle.

And Guild Wars 2 looks to improve on the first game in every way.

The thing is, Guild Wars is actually one of the few games that are not hugely influenced in the MMO space, and is also rather succesful.
