World of Warcraft phenomena
World of Warcraft was released on November 23, 2004, celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Warcraft franchise. It has 2 expansion already, first -“The Burning Crusade” was released on January 16, 2007 and second, “Wrath of the Lich King” – released on November 13, 2008. After 5 years since premiere, game is still dominant online RPG, has over 11 million of gamers all over the world. Why is so popular? Well I think its maybe because it’s funny, colorful and light. People like these kind of stuff
. To play, you need to pay for subscription around 15 $ per month.
Over 11 million of players is playing now every month in this game; Wow is fundamental for MMORPG genre and for about 1-2 years will be nr 1 in this genre. What about other games? it’s hard to say, if blizzard is enough wise and have great ideas for adaptation in expansions he will won fight with games like Lotro or Age of Conan or Warhammer Online Age of Reckoning. As we can see, after some time, future of MMORPG is free to play model or something mixing subscription with free to play – maybe subscription for 5$ and small item shop or something like that? As a player I’m looking for variety for much more than just simple player vs. environment type of game. It’s hard get something more these days, I just want more Player vs Player – it’s the essence of the game in my opinion. There is nothing more deep than good PvP features with variety of way to fight others, players are cunning, wise and playing against or with them it’s essence of MMORPG!
That’s about all about this fresh expansion, it will be released around 2010, probably near holiday-end of the year season or something like that. By the way even Hunter is great dps, I still don’t like this dude. Warriors are marvelous but I prefer classes like in Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning – Marauder of Chaos – he is my kinda a guy! Fast, powerful and stunning melee fighter!
If you see some of Warhammer trailers you know what I’m talking about anyway he will be using his mutated arms to deal massive damage to every single targets. He can beat the ….out of anything – but not Tanks…tank are too tough…you really need better level to beat tank.
