Season of Discovery Class Tuning Incoming - April 23
MMO-Champion
With the new Amazon MMO here and a very clear sign of people trying it out, now the question goes do you think the game will last? or will it fall like any other MMORPG out there? A big spike of activity just to fall into their shadow later?
I noticed steam user review scored like an average 44% score, mainly due the 10 hours queue time.
What is your thoughts?

Wrong section and it is a game vs. game topic technically. Originally Posted by Gimlix

I hold my doubts it'll beat WoW in existence, players, it may spike but we don't know.FOMO: "Fear Of Missing Out", also commonly known as people with a mental issue of managing time and activities, many expecting others to fit into their schedule so they don't miss out on things to come. If FOMO becomes a problem for you, do seek help, it can be a very unhealthy lifestyle..

If New World becomes more popular it’s more because of WoW killing itself rather than the game being that good. I think the game will do fine, but nothing groundbreaking with the numbers. It also heavily depends on how much Amazon will continue to support the game.

This is the game where settlements get actual mayors and stuff?
Yeah no thanks, who the heck wants to deal with that nonsense in their video game life.

Pretty sure WoW is gonna bounce back in activity after a good solid expansion release and a big marketing hype. Originally Posted by Gehco

But if the Amazon game does not impact wow at all due the fact it's not that popular then WoW might remain king for another few years.

Currently, no game is able to take the throne, or even close. The closest one has already lost points by having to be remade after having to be killed off. Originally Posted by Gimlix

WoW would have to really screw it up to not have the next expansion end up with a lot of hype. If WoD couldnt kill WoW, and indeed was followed by Legion then I fail to see how the same cannot happen now. Originally Posted by darklogrus

The only scenarios in which WoW doesnt get a huge upsurge is honestly if something even more catastrophic than Covid+Lawsuit kills it off, or Blizzard itself shuts it down. They could release the most middling of expansions and still rake in the hype from players that just want something new.The world revamp dream will never die!

Final Fantasy seems to got a big hit in activity when New World released, WoW activitiy seems by the looks of it, rather stable like usual. Originally Posted by darklogrus

Also WoW has a big ass player base even those who dont play. Each expansion got days long 1M+ viewers on twitch alone.
Even though WoW is no longer as big as oldskool days. When something new happens, everyone wants to be there.
I doubt WoW is in real trouble but they gotta release content faster then they do now.

Very few games have staying power anymore. Twitch fans are locusts, look at games like Fall Guys and Among Us and even Valheim to an extent. New World has a trash combat system and an awful art style, it'll be popular for a few weeks and then die like every other "big thing" that has released lately.

Disagree, more people see new WoW events by watching streamers or just watching the cinematics on Youtube. That has a vastly wider audience than those who actually play the game. Originally Posted by Gimlix

Eh, depends on how solid the game is. Fun, engaging, replayable, accessible, etc. They don't have the brand name to carry their success like Warcraft and Final Fantasy do, but it is an Amazon product, so there is plenty of money to throw at advertising.
WoW is in such a shit state that now would be the time to try. I think the odds of it happening are slim to none, but just like WoW's sub numbers: you never really know.

The only upcoming MMO that will give WoW and FFXIV a run for its money is Riot's upcoming League of Legends MMO.
That's it and that's all.

WoW and New World aren't really the same type of game. New world has more sand box elements where WoW is almost solely a theme park. While they may compete against each other for a niche group of players, and while it may momentarily draw some players away from WoW, if you like WoW's model you'll be back because New World doesn't deliver that model.

No it wont
There's also nothing stopping Blizzard from resurrecting both Arthas and Archimonde and turning them into super saiyans so that they can fuse and fight Sargeras
