IF the population still has big numbers by the end of the year, will we see another Era of WoW Clones?
I feel like we are just now recovering from the last WoW Clone Era. Now this.

Personally the only modern MMORPG trend that annoys me is the idea that MMOs need to be designed in a way to attract people who don't actually like MMOs. Which to me makes about as much sense as someone trying to figure out a way to get vegetarians to eat at their steakhouse.- FARGIN_WAR
What about the hundreds of thousands of people who played private servers for a decade or so? Don't say "because it's free".
So all MMO's should be made to cater to the masses. No niche market MMO's are necessary? That's literally how proper MMO's died in favor of capitalist greed.
Only the game that has been cloned over and over again wasn't the version that was worth to clone.
Lets hope they'll get it right this time.
When most of the people thing of MMORPG they think about one very specific type of game. Like if for example when talking about "strategy" game, people would just think Starcraft RTS type.
So when people say MMORPG they are actually thinking one very specific type of game : for lack of better term I would call it EQWOW.
...
Well ,you see Vanilla WOW was in fact the best iteration of this type of game. And no matter how many times companies tried to copy or even improve on it, it was never surpassed.
So when you will play it, you will see its true. And it actually gives the best EQWOW experience.
However as genre EQWOW is outdated. And it simply can not return. Just as RTS simply can not return...or similar outdated systems. They had their time in limelight, and now its time to move on... ( or as soon it becomes outdated in asia as well )
As for MMORPG which is in fact EQWOW ,its time to put a fork in it.
I just hope some game company realises EQWOW( also known as MMORPG ) is not the only way you can make shared persistant online world games...
But you would definitely see some old games putting out their own classic versions.
Classic SWG - I'm looking at you to step up.
EQ1, EQ2, SWG, SWTOR, GW, GW2 CoH, CoV, FFXI, WoW, CO, War,TSW and a slew of free trials and beta tests

Blizzard Boss: Making gamers happy is not my concern, making money.. yes!
Philosophy of MMO Game Design
There have been some real gems coming out of RPGMakers, so was just wondering...
Throw MMO in front of it, and it's like the Dream Crusher of gaming or something.
Gut Out!
What, me worry?

Games got shit graphics.. even the updated version of WoW has shit graphics..
cant play game with shit graphics.
Copying WoW expecting wow fans to play it and stay is a waste of money, the same way trying to put a Moba on the market expecting LoL players to migrate to it is also a waste of money.
Dozens of Mobas failed trying to get a slice of LoL pie, at least the atempts are over, nobody is trying to make mobas anymore.
I hope the same happens to WoW cloning.
