As a special note, this article isn't sponsored, but a great way to look at why WoW is a great and fun game vs. the negative banter going on out there. I'm glad you all have differing opinions, but rest assured that this is my own opinion and thoughts.
Don't forget the Orcs nuking people.
MMOs have been growing steadily while North American MMORPG have stagnated a bit, if only due to the fact that subscriptions are tough to swallow. Free-to-Play gaming is striving more than ever. It's simple, just get over the need to launch with subscriptions and don't try to market 20 flash games in one as your "free-to-play" game. Look at Perfect World which is crowded or even Mabinogi or FLYFF who have been around for nearly forever.
Rift is just facing the same thing Aion did, when people pay $15 a month for something they're going to get the best deal. The best deal is WoW, where all their friends are, and the ones who don't think that way will stay. After the launch, people will get disinterested and leave. Simple. Nothing new here, been going on for ages.
I think it's possible, for sure, unless Blizzard WoW's the fanbase. A huge dent? No, of course not, but a dent none the less.
Haha, the Alliance rock!
