WoW will only die when Blizzard shuts it down unfortunately.

This game looks alright. I wish I knew what was going on. I won't play it. Et cetera.

Oh yea I know. There are a significant amount of players who have grown tired of the WoW grind and how repetitive the game has become. I'm sure some will find it hard to quit just because of the time (and money) invested in the game but a lot of players just keep playing because there is nothing else out there that can establish itself as equivalent to WoW instead of a WoW clone.

This game brings a lot of new concepts into the MMO genre to eliminate the repetitiveness. One thing that is apparent when reading the developer blogs and videoes is that they have actually paid attention to other MMO games and have noted what is wrong with them and why they have failed including WoW, SWG, AoC, and others.

I disagree. I've played most of the MMOs and found some of them to be quite superior to WoW, but stands no chance because of the lack of people playing.

Everquest 2 is like a graphically enhanced, adult's version of WoW. Anarchy Online, despite not having the best graphics in the world, has great gameplay. It never got popular due to the amount of bugs it had when released. SOE's Free Realms is not only free, but the graphics look similar to Wow - only about 50 times better, especially at high resolutions. Gameplay is on par, except for the lack of huge groups or raids. Auto Assault was an awesome concept, which unfortunately died due to lack of interest.

There're plenty of better alternatives for those who are sick of WoW. It seems like they just don't want to give those games a chance. To be fair, only Everquest 2 has enough people to make the MM in MMO a true statement.

Anyway, I'll definitely be playing this game and maybe you guys could make a n00b guild in the game if there are enough players :)

Cool but how much repetitiveness are in those games? From my pov most mmo's are very repetitive and this mmo sets out to at least change the repetiveness at the leveling standpoint, I'm not sure what else is planned for endgame, if there is an endgame.

None of those games carry along with it a brandname that even comes close to warcraft, except maybe Everquest. Star Wars gets people's attention especially those who played SWG, which can be either good or bad.

What I like the most about this mmo and some other ones coming out are that they are now twitch-based not probability based tables like WoW. They are requiring a lot more skill from the players which I know I will enjoy whether I suck or not.
