The WoW Killer we have been waiting for

General Discussion
#1

Just joking hah. I’m actually quite happy this game is super niche, we don’t have to deal with hype trains, uber high expectations, hordes of fanbois, hordes of haters. We just have a scaled down amount of all the negatives that come with a new MMO.

I’m excited about this game!

IMPORTANT: Please keep all replies to my posts about ToS. Please no negative or backhanded comments directed at me personally. If you are going to post a reply that includes how you feel about me, please don’t bother replying & just ignore my post instead. I’m on this forum to talk about ToS. Thank you.

It’s kinda sad that ToS is such a low-flying title right now.
With GW2 having a F2P option, Tera still going strong, FFXIV’s massive fanbase, Black Desert making its way out of the mud, Maplestory’s coming Reboot server, Maplestory 2’s ‘success’ and the exciting new MMOs on the way… ToS feels like it’s pretty far down the dumps.

(Yeah, even if you have gripes with the titles I mentioned, you should do well to remember that they are still among the current bigger names of MMO gaming and a lot of things are moving with many of them.)

Well, this is still a niche game, so I don’t expect it to have any direct competition as far as getting a decent playerbase goes.

I have a feeling that what’s currently happening in the gaming community is that WoW slowly but surely losing its subscribers is making the mmo market more broad.

Since atm there doesn’t seem to be that “go to MMO” that WoW was considered for such a long time, for good reasons. This has split the MMO community making it possible for more MMOs to be present in the market, the possibility for them to feel success and be played by a bigger audience.

I’m also super excited for this game, argh! A weird feeling with not that much hype but it seems to be pulling together a nice close knitted community so far. ^v^

Yeah, I just hope we can maintain a decent player base. but with the megaserver technology I’m sure there will always be people to play with.

in the past with games like this, you had X amount of servers that started out with who knows how many thousands, then widdle down to ghost towns until 6 months too late they merge servers, which upsets ppl further.

I guess megaservers will be a plus for this game, when the channels and population drops off after 3+ months of the games release. plus its not advertised or hyped in north american and doesn’t have the brand recognition like FFXIV and other AAA titles. so while i was unhappy about the megaserver and channel concept at first, im ok with it now.

WoW will kill itself, by imploding unto it’s own sheer mass.

#8

Have you explored the forums at all? We have all of these things lol.

yeah haha thats why i put in the next sentence, we have a scaled down version of it. i should have connected the two sentences. we have all those things, but just a scaled down version of it since this game isn’t mainstream

#10

i rly don’t like WOW

but i love RO xD and my wizard magick rlz c:

#11

It’s just different games i guess… Most players now a days don’t have much time like we used to years ago, so i guess some just want to make the most fun out of the time we have :smile: I hope this game doesn’t come to the feels that for example FFXIV gives you, the need to every week cap the currency in order to keep up with everyone it gets old fast and boring.

WoW died with Arthas

#13

Actually, since you joined at 18 aug you lost all what you mentioned above.
There was about 100 topics a day, 90 which were hyped chibi boys or people asking for keys.

WoW and this game are 2 entirely different beasts :stuck_out_tongue: Also it depends on what you consider to be ‘dead’, WoW isn’t what it once was with 12mil subs, but it’s still leading in terms of the largest Sub2P MMO at 5mil-6mil subs… 2nd place going to FFXIV which is sitting around 700k-900k subs. “WoW killers” is honestly a very irrational term given that most new MMO releases struggle to maintain a community of 100k people, even globally, after the first month or so. It should also be considered that a lack of ‘hype’ or ‘hordes’ portrays the amount of people actually keeping an eye on this game. Discussions like this are by no means entirely toxic, but they feed the ignorant belief that the MMORPG market is purely black and white, with there being games that people should avoid and games that people have to go to or they’re wrong.

#15

Um try reading the OPs post before replying? He said he was joking with the title and the discussion was actually about the quality of the ToS community so you don’t need to get your panties in a bunch.

#16

ok you just read the title. maybe read the first sentence of my thread at least hahahah! it says “Just joking hah”

#17

You can clearly see that people are lazy and cannot read few sentences.
Just like interrupting two friends talking about something that you overheard and give your opinion on it without truly know what it is about.

#18

Waiting for my comment to get through that has me stating I’m not trying to sound hostile :stuck_out_tongue:

#19

Alright, so noob/new-player question here, but what sets this game apart from a standard mmo, aside from the art?

Or in other words, this:
What makes this game worth playing?

#20

lol I think you’re the one being dramatic, nothing I stated above gives you a rational reason to believe that I’m hostile, which I’m not, I’m just adding something constructive to this topic.
