I don't understand how a sequel could be possible, the world is there, already made, there is no more to it. all they can do is add expansions...or remake it. How do you make a sequel to something that is an MMO representation of existing lore? Make a new 'Azeroth' and pretend nothing else ever happened?
WoW Sequel Could "Kill Off Franchise"
- Thread starter Logan Frederick
- Start date
Hey, why not start with a graphical update? well wait until the next big operating system comes out I guess, then do it. Make it less cartoony and I might play it.
My friends and I had an interesting idea. If someone were to research all the MMOs, figure out why people left or felt they were addictive, made a game to be easy to drop in and out on a whim, and overall a better game experience, WoW would be so dead.
I laugh hysterically at all these online news sources qoting figures like it would take 1 billion dollars to make the WoW killer. You can't measure fun with money. You could have a game that cost 30 billion and still not be the WoW killer.
I suppose gaming as fun is dead. It's now some sort of profiteering industry. If games seem to be formulaic clones of each other, that's not your imagination.

Or, possibly, place us some time in the future- say, 20 years or so- where the results of all that questing done in the first game actually show.chase211 said:
Don't get me wrong, I like playing the game, but it seems kind of silly that after four years, the Crossroads is still just a handful of buildings with tarps around it, Gnomeregan still hasn't been retaken, etc. etc.
I will say this, though- please, PLEASE don't listen to the "OMG gimme fotoreelistik grafix!" crowds. I played through the LotRO beta, and I actually got headaches trying to pick out necessary details. It just didn't work for me. Sure, I'd love improved textures and higher poly counts (both optional), but I don't need to feel like I'm looking at a photograph.
Makes sense, if they make a sequel, then eventually they will stop supporting the original, no patches, less dedicated servers.
The fans will feel betrayed and will be less likely to play a sequel.
Sounds stupid but a lot of people did the same with CnC: Zero Hour.

This thread was necroed. So no fear...ffxfriek said:
Jeez, what is with all these zombie threads lately? I'm wondering whether or not there's something wrong with the way the news threads are organized, as the other option is that people are going on necro sprees here. I mean, there have been four at LEAST over the last two weeks. Leave the poor things alone to rest already.
Gah. I'm going to have to check if necroing is something to report. I forget, as I tend to avoid reporting people in general.
We need a new graphics package i can tell u that, but its not important. THe thing is, Blizz are taking us up to lvl 100max with an expansion pack going to the emerald dream (an alternative dimension) and into the mealstrom (the big swrilything in the middle of the map). But i think WoW should do what RS did the the graphics up date, have it optional.
