Greg Howson over at guardian.co.uk has taken a look at the competition WoW has got coming at it this year. When you see some of the titles due for release in the next few months, you can’t help wondering what’s going to happen. Will WoW simply shrug it off, like it did with LOTRO, or will it be taking some direct hits to its subscriber base? Can a game with over 10 million subscribers ever be toppled?
And it’s not just Conan and Warhammer that may threaten to take WoW’s crown, LOTRO is getting a chunky new update later this year, and there’s NCsoft’s Aion which looks very interesting (not to mention their MMO planned for 2009 on the PS3).
Or maybe the Free-to-Play model will come into its own this year and grab a large proportion of online gamers, who knows, but one thing is for certain - as the game companies try to out-do each other with better and better games, it’s us who will benefit 
Testing if the comments still works.
