I'm only playing very casually, and intend to stop my accounts for the first time since the game's release in Nov. 2004.
I will reactivate for MoP out of curiosity, to see the design of the new areas.
But I don't think WoW is even remotely close to dying.
Rift was and still is crap compared to WoW.

"Do you play WoW currently?"
Yes.

"Does the majority of the game still involve 40-minute DPS queues while everyone sits around Orgrimmar and an endless amount of repetitive daily quests?"
Beats me, I quit doing dungeons a couple months ago. I get all my points in raiding, not that I'm spending any of it. Plus I'm a healer so I don't wait long.

"Are you looking forward to MoP?"
Hell no. I will most definitely be quitting before it gets released.

"Do you think WoW is growing or dying?"
Dying, and faster with every decision lately.

"Do you think Rift is growing or dying?"
No clue.

Sub ran on, so don't play.

DPS queues are still ridiculous as of two weeks ago.


WoW is dying no question. It will be up and running for a decade or more and will probably still have a couple of million of more subs even after the xpac. But to all the veteran players, the game is already dead. WoW will be a game for new players from here on out.

Do you play WoW currently?

Yes, I have two active subcriptions.

Does the majority of the game still involve 40-minute DPS queues while everyone sits around Orgrimmar and an endless amount of repetitive daily quests?

No, the vast majority of my game time involves me leveling up new toons via questing in areas I have previously missed or in areas that I really like. I rarely run any cata dungeons anymore, however I intend to run all of the patch 4.3 content once my last character hits 80 (I currently have 3 level 85's, six level 80's and two level 60's)

Are you looking forward to MoP?

No, while I have a wait-and-see approach about the new class/race and overall expansion pack theme, I feel that the talent changes, as they are currently proposed, are a step in the wrong direction and are going opposite of what most players want.

Do you think WoW is growing or dying?

WoW is, and has been, on the decline from its peak back in WotLK. The subscription numbers and overall customer satisfaction surveys speak as much. However, it will take many years before WoW is "dead".

Do you think Rift is growing or dying?

I think Rift still has some growth to it, though I do not expect much growth in overall active subscriptions from where it currently is at. Decent game but I just wasn't drawn in enough to stay.

Likely.

Are you looking forward to MoP?

No, but I'll buy a CE regardless ><

Do you think WoW is growing or dying?

It's done growing for the moment. I wouldn't say dying though. People are tired of what WoW has to offer, and almost all new games offer the same shyte, with very little more of interest. It will be a long time before WoW is "dying".

Do you think Rift is growing or dying?

No idea. Rift never interested me.

No, thank gawd.

Why would that change? Er, I mean, no clue.


Are you looking forward to MoP?

<fits of giggles> No.


Do you think WoW is growing or dying?

At "10 million", I don't think it's dying. The gameplay sounds like it's stagnating. And the devs here, (and unfortunately now also in SC) appear to be so self-focused, they are continuing to drive the game into further stupidity. I suspect, given most of the "new" players it is trying to attract (following in SoE's footsteps), it will be on auto-cruise for at least 3-4 more years. Unless suddenly everybody develops a 7-year itch.


Do you think Rift is growing or dying?

Still more players coming in. Don't know if they will stay once other MMOs on the horizon hit. The devs are still listening, still reacting, still churning new content and I'm curious to see where they are headed. For the moment, it has one of the better communities available, reasonable gameplay adjustments based on objective data, experimentation with new game mechanics and that's good enough for me and my guild. Now, if they would JUST add RvR and a Darkness Falls-like dungeon, I can see us happily playing for a long while.

Do you play WoW currently? - Yeah

Does the majority of the game still involve 40-minute DPS queues while everyone sits around Orgrimmar and an endless amount of repetitive daily quests? - Maybe if your dps. If your a tank its instant Bigtime on the repeat daily quests though, firelands is a daily grind. I think it takes like a month of doing dailys to advance it all the way.

Are you looking forward to MoP? - Yeah a little. Granted i still think it has a 50/50 chance to flop and really start a significant decline in subs if they screw it up.

Do you think WoW is growing or dying? - Slowly starting to decline but not die. It has a very long way to go. Example, AC is still active even though it passed its peak a decade ago.

Do you think Rift is growing or dying? - Prolly holding about even at this point. Its lost some of its original subs but is holding about even where it is now i think.

Does the majority of the game still involve 40-minute DPS queues while everyone sits around Orgrimmar and an endless amount of repetitive daily
quests? No idea, dont really care either.

Are you looking forward to MoP? Hell no. I'm done with WoW!

Do you think WoW is growing or dying? Dying. It's easier to see as an outsider rather then someone who is playing it and ignoring the ignorance of the Devs.

Do you think Rift is growing or dying? Growing. You see new subs all the time.
