WoW killer #952 go!
Well because I'm bored... Why not...
What were the other Wow Killers? KOTOR and WH40k, oh and GW 2 (prolly more)... Well first off let me say, wow has changed over the years. It began as a game that was easy to pick up yet took a ridiculous amount of time and energy to get to max level and then a small elite group of those guys got to raid and wear the cool gear and stuff. In addition there was the lore, art, and the other things that make WoW, Wow. over time WoW changed by making the game less gridie thus more accessible, which was good, but over the years they have made the game 2 easy mode and thus all the content is accessible to quickly and requires little skill to access. The meaningful content (challenging) is almost identical to the easy stuff (take lfr's, normal modes, and hard modes) all the same thing just slightly different mechanics, and the rewards (at least superficially) are almost identical. So players run out of content or are not interested with the next tier of content. Also, factor in the whole Activision/Blizzard thing (take from that what you will). Wow is not what it once was, furthermore it hasn't progressed in a way that has expanded on the glory day of say the litch king, (kinda like crpg) instead aiming for the biggest market share by making the game most accessible. Finally there is no new content scheduled for it until the fall!
KOTOR RIFT and WH40K and w/e else were WoW clones with better graphics, ESO is not.
ESO is an ES MMO, something special so far (at least at lvl 16), and if it remains special I think this will be big, very big.
(Reviews will be out soon and I don't feel like writing one)
Anywayz, continue to hate. this is the C-RPG community after all.
