I
had planned a piece that would be more interesting to a general audience for my
first post here, but for the last couple weeks something has been really
bugging me. I apologize in advance for
the barely-coherent rant that's about to come.
Now, with that out of the way:
For
years now people have been heralding the coming of the wow killer. They claimed that Warhammer Online would knock
WoW off its throne. It didn't. People were SURE that Age of Conan would
finish WoW off , it had BOOBS in it!
That wasn't enough. All the cool
kids were looking forward to Guild Wars 2 finishing WoW off as it limped away
from its drop in subscriptions over the Cataclysm expansion. I mean, come on! Guild Wars 2
DIDN'T HAVE SUBSCRIPTION COSTS (it also didn't have robust endgame
content, who knew people liked that sort of thing in their games?). This is the point where I should also mention
Star Wars: The Old Republic... but I'm not going to, as I'm doing my best
to repress those memories. All those
games failed to knock WoW off its throne, though Recently I've started to think
that maybe the true WoW killer has already descended upon us, but we're just
not aware of it yet.
