To be honest AoC was never going to be a WoW killer. Its a great game, and the only real draw for most people is its newness as compared to the same raid/item grind in WoW. As for WoW. Its a fact that when an MMO starts making it easier to sweep through old content its oly a matter of time before it is swept away itself. I am not saying WoW's "days" are numbered, but with all the big name competition coming out this year, and Blizzards tried and true "more of the same" attitude its "years" certainly are. It will simply take more time then all the MMOs in history because of the god awful size of its subscribership. Just my 2 cents! Futaci
