If GW2 fails like TOR / Warhammer / Aion then no other mmo is going to be succesfull.
From all the mmo's that are comming or in Development at this time GW2 holds the best cards to compete with WoW.
There will be no other mmo that can stand up versus the King of the hill at this time.
Hype or no hype, GW2 has the best cards and best features to fight WoW's numbers.
Altough it has no sub, its still the best mmo comming out in the many years ahead of us.
So OP, if GW2 fails no other mmo comes even close as they dont even compare to GW2.
Fanboys or not, just check how long GW2 is top dog on the hype meter.
By your own argument then WoW should be the top of the released MMOs? You talk about GW2 being able to compete with WoW and then talk about it being top of the hype meter, by that rationale then WoW should be the top released game that GW2 competes with, what you might find is that MMORPG.com is not representative of the general MMORPG community but is instead a discussion forum which is fairly biased towards anti-WoW and has its own "opinion" and "views" on what new MMORPGs shoudl look like.
I think GW2 will be successful by its own measure, I dont think it will be anything close to the phenomenom WoW was but I doubt any MMORPG will be that way EVER again. It's good that it is B2P much like D3 when I get bored ill just stop caring for it and not have to worry about it.
The Japanese are developing that.
They can BARELY control movement of charater at this moment....not to mention they can't really move exactly the way they wanted to. You probably have to wait for another 5 years.
And you need to hook up a bunch of wires onto your head.
No one is looking forward to getting overhyped ! That actual should go without saying. But fans will offcause be hyped and looking forward to a game that actual delivers something that justify the hype.
Can you realise that you are overhyped? properly not, because the realisation should bring your hype level down. And if you are overhyped you for sure shouldn't look for something after GW2.
So OP's question can properly not be answered. And as such might even be considered a troll question
Now is GW2 fans overhyped? Ofcause alot are, and that should be easy to agree upon because alot simply hasn't grasped what it is GW2 do so different and alot hasn't realised that GW2 will not bring them out of their love/hate relationship with the traditional MMO setup, simply because they are not done with it yet. And that GW2 can't do for them.
If going a little with OP and just ask what the next big thing after GW2 could be for gw2 fans, it's unfortunatly not that easy to point out. And that is because GW2 actual does so many things different that it could take some time before a compagny hits something that is an evolution of that. And you properly will not see the real ArenaNet fans jump ship, because of the next standard MMO clone.
except the overhyped, that is not done with traditional MMO setups.
i though games was created to be fun xD
When GW2 does well, what's the next MMO you're going to hope fails?
No issues saying yes i will re-sub to TSW i was suprised how much fun the game is for a themepark game and I do think its the best themepark out there... does it come close to games like darkfall, mortal online, UO and other sandbox games.. nope not at all.. at least not for me but i like sandbox type games.. thats just me..
If anyone was looking to play a new fantasy themepark MMORPG then i would tell them to wait for GW2.. but ive done the fantasy themepark to death and GW2 is not different enough to pull me in and in fact i got bored of it... totally the opposite with TSW, it was different enough for me to want to continue playing..
Anyway this is getting off topic now..
Why would anyone want an MMO, they aren't interested in, fail? What kind of attitude is this?
Block the trolls, don't answer them, so we can remove the garbage from these forums
This was a response to the title, it wasn't an actual question.
at least change your title to "if".
To answer your question, I won't get overhyped to any mmo after GW2 unless those mmos happen to do an even better job than what GW2 is doing while being B2P. Besides, I am gonna take it slowly with this game and enjoy every little bit of it.
Though I must say, I'd be probably playing Borderlands 2 and Torchlight 2 in between my GW2 gaming sessions. These 3 games will last me a whhhhiiilllle
.
Looking forward to EQL and EQN.
Prove why thinking GW2 is going to be good is 'irrational'? Many who have played it think it is good, based on the UNPRECEDENTED level of beta access and the UNPRECENDENTED level to which what the Dev's have said would be in the game, IS in the game....
.... a situation which contrasts significantly compared to every single other title you mention - hence my emphasis on the word UNPRECEDENTED. I thought you might miss it if I ddn't make it clear to you - my apologies if you feel that's an unfair assumption - but then as I like GW2 you have by default labelled me 'irrational' have you not?
You are of course the one being irrational, because thinking that 'hype = fail' is children's playground 'logic' and unworthy of anyone even pretending to have the slightest idea of what critical analysis is. You might as well start claiming that because the last four coin flips were heads the next one must be. To the truly irrational thinker there seems to be a relationship - but really, there isn't.
Do your homework before spouting your baseless dogma - GW2 has a number of things you can legitimately criticise - stick to those if you don't want egg on your face....
... but then to be specific in your criticism, you would of course have to know what it's flaws ARE....
.... and if you are just another sad troll - well - at least the pearls I have scattered before the swine didn't cost me anything....
Unprecedented beta access? Ehm, no.
How many times have betas been the entire foundation for games being fantastic before release? It's happened with more MMOs than I care to count.
No amount of beta access will reveal how the game works in the long-term. Not even ArenaNet can truly know how successful their long-terms strategy is. They're just hoping and relying on their own ability to design games.
Personally, I think GW2 will be quite successful with a significant segment of the audience - but it won't be the long-term home for millions of players. I just don't see that happening. In 3-6 months, the activity will resemble other established MMOs - but that's just guesswork.
I have been super hyped up about playing GW2 since their first announcement
I still am super hyped up about playing GW2 after playing all beta's
I am/will be interested in Wild-Star while playing GW2.
Their must always be ONE hyped up game :-)

@OP Your trolling attempt is pathetic. People foresaw the fail with most games after trying it. I played Swtor beta i and knew it. I played TERA beta and i knew it.
Hundreds of Thousands of players who played the Beta all had a blast. GW2 is not overhyped. It has actually zero hype. Anet delivered every single aspect to the game they have promised and they succeded at that.
GW2 is the best MMO ever created, period. And you get to play it without letting the Developers milk you like a cow.
PM me your ingame account name when you purchase GW2 so you can apologize to me when you start playing.
Why, the same way we always do. No objective criteria whatsoever.
Self-pity imprisons us in the walls of our own self-absorption. The whole world shrinks down to the size of our problem, and the more we dwell on it, the smaller we are and the larger the problem seems to grow.
Lol, I was just making stuff up. I think it would be scary to try and play a game like that. Think of a game where bugs could actually kill you in real life lol.
I dunno, maybe I'd try it when they got it perfected. Not even gonna look at it while it's in testing and development.
Could be cool until the machines became self aware and tried to use you as a battery :P
I was in the SWTOR beta. I disliked its WoW 0.9 combat and thought that pretty cutscenes alone wouldn't be able to carry it, but it'll be a decent game overall. I was right and got flamed a lot.
I was in TERA beta and saw lots of half-naked women.
I was in TSW beta. I disliked its combat and animations, but thought that its story and ambience are fantastic, combat might get better later on and it'll be a good game overall. Looks like I was right.
I was in the GW2 beta. It wasn't perfect, but it was awesome.
So yes, I think GW2 will be very successful. It won't kill WoW, but that's ok. The beta showed us almost every skill in the game and the majority of PvP content. Compare that to something like SWTOR's beta, which wasn't able to show Illum, because that whole planet was a pathetic failure.
