Easy.


No competition.


This is what kept DAoC alive for so long.

6 years of muddling around creating the next e-sport. Just kidding Blizzard.

I just hope they haven 't set the "formula" for MMORPG's.

I still think that no matter how much people whine and gripe about losing their 'progress', clearing it every expansion has done wonders for WoW's long lasting appeal.

its the polish. finally a mmo, 6 years ago, that had a smooth combat system and world navigation and pretty graphics that run nice and fluid. its amazing that since then there has not been a single mmo with that kind of polish.

Not only is it enduring, but in every other MMO, the players can't stop talking about WoW, and how much they hate it. So you take a break from WoW, then in the other game, players talk non-stop about WoW.

Yeah, it's crazy. LotRo, EQ2, AoC (gawd), Vanguard, Aion. Played every one of them, and G chat is filled with people dissing WoW. Wanna irritate the hell out of 'em? Imply that in 6 months they will be resubbing, lol. I know I did .

That was irritating in Warhammer (and some comparisons WERE valid there as some things were copied), but funny as all get out in Champion's Online. I mean, really?, what?

True enough. In every, single MMO, I tried, the channels were filled with WoW love or hatred.


Strange thing.

Lol that is funny I did dabble in Dungeons and Dragons online for a little while and if you did so much as mention Wow even indirectly it would start a flame fest like you never seen before.
