That in two months everyone will forget about this game and cancel their subscription.

I've seen it happen with almost every MMO since WoW, most recently Age of Conan. The first two weeks people call it the best MMO ever, even better than WoW, and then a month or two later, nobody plays it.

Doubtful. It's EA Mythic, with the power of the corporation behind it. Even if it does falter, they would probably boost it. EA needs a good MMO in their repertoire.

Well i've become skeptical, almost cynical about MMO's lately and my first impressions of WAR are negative ones. GOA screwed around the EU playerbase and couldn't even organise the open beta properly so i've purposely not bought WAR. I do agree that a lot of people will probably worship this game  for the first couple of weeks and then depending how buggy or in need of patches it is we'll see more people leave or stay later on.

Personally after Age of Conan's recent update i've payed for another months subscription to play that. I only played the first free month with AoC after paying full retail price so i kind of want to get some more playtime in it, might aswell try to enjoy it after paying for the game.

I don't think WAR will drop off as much as AOC did. Mostly cause the PvP is better worked out then AOC.  Granted i can see ppl like Jacob playing WAR to WoTLK comes out.  But give two months to WoTLK and you will see ppl move back to WAR.

I really think it might turn out well the DOAC guys were really able to keep an audeince, for a while at least. Tbh though I really have no clue what happend to AoC.

Im not even going to think about questions like this and just enjoy the game..
Why does it have to be one or the other? Im enjoying the game becasue its something different from WoW. I know every name of every NPC in Outland by now..

You forgot to mention people/WoW vets are sick of WoW and Wotlk brings nothing worth while to even start up my account again.

Chosen > Death Knight
Siege battles,keep battles,rvr and scenarios > any pvp change in Wotlk
1-40 > 1-80

You think AoC and WAR suffer from the same problems?  Have you even played WAR or are you just coming on the board to make a cocky statement for kicks.

WAR looks just like WoW. Notice, I said looks, not is. I'll say that some people will stay on longer than that now due to this thread, though.

I don't play MMO games (I have a life :D ) . But it's an observation - and its not just Age of Conan, they hyped up LOTR and Guild Wars and Matrix as well, none of them caught on like Warcraft did and there aren't that many people who still play 'em."

I really hope it doesn't die down, I bought it an hour ago and I'm in for the long haul! I'm going off a ton of good feedback so I hope it's worth the cash.

I'm proud that I don't know what DoaC is. :D

I doubt it. Having played AOC from launch to the end of my free month I can say the reason I got bored was because there was so very little to do in the game. I got to level 75 largely because I hooked up with an awesome guild but I just didn't have a justification to continue playing.

After playing the the open beta for WOAR, I don't sense the same feeling of being confined to small instanced areas, like AOC. In any case it's alot like WOW, which I guess is supposed to be a good thing...?

As someone who has played DAoC, WoW, Vanguard, Guild Wars, and Conan...I'll say this:

WAR is made by the same people who made DaoC which was one of the best MMOs before WoW (DoaC from what I've heard was prolly the best pvp MMO tell this day and it was released sometime in 2001)."
