How will "World of Warcraft" Compete?
I would like to give a thorough answer for this question, but I'm feeling lazy so I will keep it short.Age of Conan is out and it is pretty cool, but will probably not attract as many women players, since it is pretty sexist. This will prevent it from overtaking WoW. Also it has high HW requirements which will further erode its player base.Tabula Rasa is probably trying to do too much and is likely to disappoint over the long term. Sci-fi MMOs are harder to do in general, I think. Also, it is supposedly hard to solo which is one of the secrets of WoW's success. None of the reviews have given any indication it has the chops to overtake WoW.Warhammer Online has very little announced that sounds like a WoW killer. At best it sounds like it will be an AoC killer, but that might also be in doubt. Also, early speculation indicates the HW reqs will also be high.
