Oh wait...:laugh:
In six months, nobody outside of Korea will be talking about Aion.
I definitely disagree with you, Aion launched in a totally different way from Warhammer and AoC, and imo is better designed at the core to begin with. People left Aoc and WAR in droves due to the terrible launches both games had, and that left a lot of empty or near empty servers (WAR had too many to begin with). Plus the general sentiment around people playing is that it's an awesome game, I haven't met many people who hate it so far.
Anyway it will never reach the population WoW has, but it will be around for a long time.
Conan and WAR are still around, though nobody cares about them anymore. The same fate awaits Aion. Everyone is looking for that next "WOW Killer", then some people flock to the new random MMO that has been hyped to the moon as the "next WOW", find out it's really a pile eventually, and saunter back to WOW all disappointed-like. I love it.
I just :laugh: at all the hate WOW receives, and how every new random MMO that comes out is automatically branded "the WOW killer".
Sure, Aion won't go away, but when the hype dies down and reality settles in, Aion will have a total population that isn't even as high as one high population server in WOW. Just like Vanguard...just like Conan...just like WAR. Aion hasn't even been out for a full month yet, right? Remember, everyone thought Conan and WAR were totally awesome...at first.
LotRO is the only supposed "WOW killer" that is still doing reasonably well, and even it's numbers are a pittance compared to WOW.
But, that's okay...keep on claiming "Next Random MMO is the WOW Killer!" It amuses me. :laugh:
