Wow gold will not be topped by the wave of upcoming online rivals.
Recently, top MMO developers say, "Wow gold will not be topped by the wave of upcoming online rivals."
World of Warcraft, often referred to as WoW, is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) by Blizzard Entertainment. World of Warcraft is currently the world's most-subscribed MMORPG and holds the Guinness World Record for the most popular MMORPG by subscribers.
Jack Emmert, COO at Star Trek Online developer Cryptic Studios says, "World of Warcraft has captured the entire monthly subscription market. There's little room for other games to succeed in that environment. To compound it, companies try to replicate WoW's gameplay. That's silly. If someone wants WoW, they'll play WoW."
According to Jagex COO Rob Smith: Don't mess with WoW. Many games have tried to take World of Warcraft head-on and failed miserably. Smith thinks developers are finally starting to clue into the fact that they need to try a different tactic. He says, "Unlike in previous years where publishers have aimed directly for Warcraft's audience, the outlook for 2010 looks remarkably different. A game to topple WoW doesn't have to come from the fantasy genre. Just look at the success of FarmVille to see how popular casual MMOs can be."
