I'll tag on your post since you're pretty much the only one here not bashing WoW. You kids ragging on Massively for giving WoW more coverage than your favorite game: "Insert Franchise Name: Insert Subtitle" need to get over yourselves. You need to deal with the fact that WoW is the big dog in town. If you don't like WoW then you just have to have to come to grips with the fact that your first love is a second rate MMO.
Oh snap. I went there. WoW is the king. Their subscription numbers dwarf every other MMO and in many cases dwarf the subscription numbers of several of their competitors put together. There are companies out there happy that they got a hundred thousand fans while WoW is over eleven million. This ought to be information that I needn't repeat. Most of us know the numbers.
Therefore, you can't and shouldn't ridicule Massively for catering to their largest base: WoW players. Also, let's face the facts here. Nothing at this end of the year is going to be as big as Wrath of Lich King's release. None of your lesser MMOs will match it. Period. Whine all you want. It's the truth. Far more people are rabidly chomping at the bit for Wrath's release than people who even mildly give a crap that Lord of the Rings Online is releasing an expansion or that Warhammer Online is getting a new tanking class. We don't care.
Wrath of the Lich King is coming. WoW is plowing on and the majority of gamers everywhere are right on its heels. If you're on of the poor misguided miscreants that hates WoW and is feverishly devouted to some other MMO that is just not as good for whatever reason, stop your whining, go play your crap game and let the masses be excited.
