That's the thing most people don't understand.
WoW won't die until Blizzard kills it. People are too stupid to quit the game themselves. No matter how much Blizzard messes with it, the players just suck it up and keep on playing.
Once Blizzard releases its second MMO, THEN WoW will go down. I don't think it will until then. Stupid players are stupid.
I've written this many many times for people that have no understanding of MMO's past history.
WoW will
NEVER die, period. WoW will die
ONLY when Blizzard shuts off the servers (which would be very stupid). Ultima Online (UO), was the first MMO ever and it was released in 1997. It was the first P2P online game, and MANY critics said it would fail. 14 years later, and 8 expansions it is still running. Obviously player base has declined (except for the hardcores) but it will never lose it's entire player base until EA shuts the servers off themselves.
Also, every MMO created and that will be created copies aspects from Ultima Online. If nothing else other than claiming they're an MMORPG (since UO's Producer is the one that came up with this term).
So there you go, like the 5th time i've written this out for people that have no, or limited, background knowledge of MMO's. WoW will NEVER completly die (without outside help).
