Will World of Warcraft die because of....?

No, TOR is a small fish compared to WoW.

WoW already killed itself pretty well with WOTLK, alienating all people who wished any manner of challenge from raiding or dungeoneering, including myself.

The idiotic and nearsighted populace will likely attribute it to some MMO released close to a huge dip in WoW's subscriptions. Most likely Guild Wars 2 will be attributed for it, but definately not TOR.

The maximum active subscriptions WoW ever has had worldwide was 11.4 million, anything above that is an "estimate" (read: lie.), when WoW announced after Cataclysm release that they had 14,000,000 subscribers, according to net graphing sites (like Alexa) the sum of NA, EU and Asia's WoW login server unique IP visits was 8.3 million within a month. Which means truthfully they had 8,300,000 subscribers at the most, though this number is slightly inaccurate, because anyone, even people without subscription can access the WoW server's launcher. Truthfully at this time, they had 8,300,000 worldwide logins (attributing for NAT and IP sharing possibilities vs. non-subscribing / bots opening the site), of which a good portion was people doing the up-to-level 20 trial.

In short: WOTLK killed WoW, not some new game. It never had more than 11.4 million at most, during early WOTLK release.

No. Star Wars will probably go free to play not long from now because I predict it will lose much of its player base.

The only MMO that looks like it can kill WoW is the upcoming Guild Wars 2.

No this is not any longer! international of warcraft is the main important game available and that's going to be for an prolonged time. the reason being that it is so family participants friendly on an identical time as additionally offering magnificent high quality for extreme game enthusiasts as properly. snow fall is popping out with a pair new video games (starcraft 2 and Diablo 3) even with the undeniable fact that, international of warcraft is their considerable source of income and that i'm particular they're going to proceed to do each and every thing they could to make the game final as long as plausible.

No it won't die, i use to play WoW and quit and by the time i left there were about 15 mil still playin.

I hope they both expire and go away.
