The same way Age of Conan, Aion, Wildstar, Age of Creation, and all the rest did, yes. WoW has had many deaths.

none of those had 1m+ online concurrent players, not even close.

The only reason LA is having player pop that is unusually gigantic, is because of the over sexualiziation of female characters in that game. Your average non even MMO gamer will flock in masses to those games in general.

I wanted to try Lost Ark over the weekend, but there isn’t a version for Mac.

So to answer your question. No, it hasn’t killed WoW. You can’t kill something if you can’t accommodate everyone.

Also for future, please place threads discussing other games in the Off Topic section:

Wanted to try Lost Ark too, but it is not available in my country due to local laws.

But I’ve seen WoW killers before. WoW still outlives them all. Only WoW can kill WoW.
Which, in my humble opinion, WoW doesn’t need outside help with. They can do that themselves perfectly :wink:

Ahhh yes, Lost Ark. That game that is essentially very similar to BDO in character design and Ui for shop stuff.

How original…

You only have so gigantic amount of people playing LA atm over any other MMO because of bigger ar*es and boobs. Thats why.

We are done here.

When Lost Ark has 1.1 million players in 6 months time then I would start to worry. Also there is a new patch coming out next week. People will be back to fill up LFG very shortly.

The only game which can kill WoW is WoW itself, its up to the dev team to make decisions that produce a higher retention rate.

Lost Ark currently has inflated numbers because its shiny and new (to the western world) and many people playing it have yet to see what the end game looks like and how vastly different the progress is between F2P players and those who use the cash shop.

New world has 40k people online playing right now

They’ve been doing a fantastic job killing their own game while simultaneously milking the playerbase. 9 days left on Subsciption, just enough to see if 9.2 will be worth the trouble, my main concern isn’t even if they bothered to improve the game at this point but rather whether there are enough players to try the content itself(20man pug raids).

Who cares if it killed WoW or not?

In MoP; if i made an LFG “x CR, lf healer to push” for ranked arena, there would be like 5 to 10 healers. Now there is 1 or 2 that apply in like 15-20 minutes.

Matter of the fact is that we are bleeding players to x - y - z games and ActBlizzard is busy discussing “How shall we ruin Feral’s AoE and Dest’s ST and make PvP as unfriendly as possible for casuals?” instead of fixing stuff.

Eventually people will also realise how heavily P2W it actually is. It’s not a bad game but god the P2W is so strong in it.
