i say wow not only because it has a head start with 9 million subscribers but there's rumors of a new expansion for wow being announced at blizzcon this week, burning crusade like totally owned sales when that released so yeah...wow.
I'll agree with you there. A geared shadow priest is also impossible to kill. Maybe the most impossible. A poorly geared shadow priest though, is like mincemeat. At least at 70...back when 60 was the cap even a brand new 60 shadow priest pwnt faces because most people had roughly 4k life. I actually have a 66 priest too, very easy to level as shadow. She has been shelved for a while though.

I can't really talk much, because my rogue was beating the pants off shadow priests when I was in EotS last weekend
. But I can say that; however, I have no idea how good they actually were as they could've been poor at the class. It's also good to note that the scenarios were typically 2v1 against me, but Blind > Shaman without Poison Cleansing Totem .

You have died.
You are a ghost.
That made me laugh. Good job.
One thing I'd like to see return to an MMORPG is an elaborate player crafter/merchant system like what was found in the old SWG. That was surprisingly fulfilling, and yet my merchant still had room left over for passable combat skills.

ROFL. Thanks for the laugh (and the memory).
That was the reason why I left the old SWG. Some crafting gets too ridiculously good and unbalanced the game, you have 90% kinetic dmg resist armor and 80% mind dmg resist helm. Normal person can solo multiple red con mobs and almost immue to mind damage while the wookiees (me including) will just die in 2 seconds.
I still have a bad taste over Dark Age of Camelot, as do a lot of former players. Trials of Atlantis was a colossal failure in all aspects, and was the first step to an eventual demise of that game. I loved it beforehand. That said, I'll probably give Warhammer a chance. Mythic is the king of class imbalances though, they make Blizzard look like geniuses.
That could've been fixed, though. I agree that it wasn't implemented very well (we're talking underfunded, mismanaged SWG here), but elaborate and viable player crafting was a good concept. Lack of rewarding loot was also a problem back in the old version... they needed good loot that didn't compete with, or that complemented, the crafters' products.

Greatest gimmicks: AoC
Most potential: Warhammer
Realistic best of 2008: WoW
It is very easy to provide lots of hype based on what if scenarios and being the new shiny thing, but as every EQ clone learned years back, success is often hard to duplicate.

Wasn't Warhammer the game that sucked so bad in beta that they closed the beta and reverted it to alpha? Yeah, I have high hopes for that game :roll:
I mean, it's good that they were willing to admit that it wasn't on par with where it should be, but still...

I'm not sure UO is still making enough money to do much more than keep the servers on. As for the rest, EA has been involved in several MMO projects before; that most of them are no longer around/no longer an EA property so any new doom and gloom scenarios only have an effect if you've been ignorant to the past.

I recall that WC3 was scrapped twice; and given the time till TF2 came out,I wouldn't be surprised if that had at least one major redevelopment period. The list could go on, so making statements about what a game will be based on previous version of code doesn't hold much water.
He was talking about the Warhammer table top game that had been out years before WoW was ever dreamed up. If you read up on it you'll see the how much WoW derived from it.
