For some reason I don't think WoW is going to have people running 5 year subscriptions. Granted, it'll last for 5 years and more as long as the main attraction of the BGs aren't utterly retarded in implementation. But the same account for 5 devoutly paid every month...mmm, doubt it. No MMO will have EverQuest's godly retention rate, not even Vanguard; the playing field just isn't the same anymore.
Blizzard is probably making out like bandits right now, though, moneywise. No argument. |
didnt someone post that like 20% of box sales never actually subscribe to mmo's? something stupid like that.
WoW's biggest advantage is the number of people new to mmo's who are playing it. its catering to the casual gamer. there are casual gamers out there who still havent hit 60, shocking as it is. ask the bog. while it may seem hard to us jaded mmo'rs that no one will play this game for 5 years, remember, people still play quake1/doom2/half-life.
