The End of the World... of Warcraft - An Editorial by Coyote

Posted August 15th, 2008 by Cody Bye

Sometimes it's hard for people to see what's incredibly obvious, even when the facts are staring them right in the face. With this state of mind firmly in place, many people choose to believe that the World of Warcraft will be toppled off their mountain in the very near future. Ten Ton Hammer's own resident humorist - who prefers only to be known as "Coyote" - throws down the gauntlet and tells people if we'll ever see the end of WoW and if we do when it might be. This one's laugh out loud funny.

New MMOG’s are released and celebrate a premature victory simply because they had a successful launch. They suck up those who would stray away from their norm out of curiosity and grab them with greedy fingers, raising them high as proof of their success. Yet those chickens are always counted too soon and eventually they begin to hemorrhage players like blood from a sucking chest wound. Those players then find themselves dripping back to whatever game that they had originally called home, leaving yet another quasi-successful yet less-than-memorable MMOG to clog up the market.
