Mists of Pandaria could make or break another generation of WoW playing for me, if it's a silly/botch job in my opinion then I'll be dropping WoW and moving on.
While it may get people who don't want to pay a subscription, it's not going to topple WoW.iBagel said:Guild Wars 2
I think it will capture a lot of the casual MMO players (i.e. me) who don't want to shell out a subscription fee and who don't want to feel pressured into playing to justify the price.
Isn't LoL free? Not sure you can compare them that easily, people generally only want to pay for one subscription game at a time.Bobic said:In a way, hasn't WOW already been knocked off the throne?

I forgot the genre I was going for with the Civ metaphor, and I'm still at a loss. RTS wasn't meant to be put there but like a robot I just inserted it when I though "that will do".direkiller said:snipp

I am not missrepsenting you in anyway. I am saying your defntion of a MMO is too broad and covers any game with a multiplayer and basically makes it pointless to classify any game as such. The bad metaphor thing il give you but i am not strawmaning you.Aprilgold said:Anyways. What is the definition of a MMO? This is where we go onto one of your original arguments, which revolved around the thought that a MMO is only a MMO if it has a persistent world.direkiller said:snipp
MMO is a very broad term, bird is not, sure you can put little sub-sections underneath it for certain birds that each have their own characteristics, but you wouldn't call a T-rex in the same family as a bird, would you. In the term of MMO thats exactly what happens, we can call any game that comes out that has a following at least 1,000 online an MMO.
Your using very bad arguments, very bad analogies and metaphors, quit while your ahead and all that jazz, there is nothing to win here. I've stated my whole point at least twice now, and your not going to throw out the window if you keep up with the metaphors and strawmans.
Hold on a second, its a subjective definition then, well then my hardrive is actually a rhino, and my house is made of zebras. What? Definitions are apparently subjective according to you.direkiller said:I am not missrepsenting you in anyway. I am saying your defntion of a MMO is too broad
Good thing I didn't say that, and you actually quoted a portion of my post that explains why, then.iBagel said:I would say its more naive to think wow wont be killed.
