Any one who ever says "WoW-killer" should automatically be put on ignore. Nothing will kill WoW but time. It's an aging game with lots of problems that come from the core design, and they can't be fixed. Blizzard is obviously already making a new MMO, and hopefully not one set in the Warcraft world, and it will most likely focus on fixing a lot of the core problems WoW has.

There will never be a "WoW-killer", only the evolution of the MMO franchise, which AoC is part of, and future games will also expand upon. MMO's evolve, and if your game can't evolve with the times (as EVE is designed to do), then it will simply die off.

I don;t think many people said it was going to be a WoW killer for a number of reasons (higher system requirements, mature rating, unfamiliar lore *shrug*, etc).

That being said I stopped with WoW over a year ago and can easily say I'm never playing it again. AoC has it's flaws but I'm enjoying the game a lot for the time being.

i was a wow player but i'm not playing anymore. i'm sure after a few time all the players who explored the end game content will stop playing wow. my opinion about wow is simple now. blizzard improves the game with patches for making high amount of money. they way doing this is by making the game easyer for 90% of wow players who have gladiators for example. i'm sure any other game like eve for example where they don't release expansions every year and they release patches only for better graphics will be a wow killer. if age of conan will do this for sure it will be a wow killer coz many wow hardcore players are bored of having t6 wich means nothing in a few moths
