According to Edge Online Blizzard is unfazed by Age of Conan and Warhammer Online. Blizzard president Mike Morhaime wasn't shy in calling out competing products during a Wednesday earnings call, as he pointed out how players may leave World of Warcraft for other MMOs, but they often come right back.
"To date, 68 percent of the players who listed Age of Conan as their reason for cancellation, and 46 percent of players who listed Warhammer as their reason for cancellation have reactivated their subscriptions to World of Warcraft."
I tried WoW when it was released... for four days. If I wasn't hooked on EQ2 then maybe I would have given it a chance. Regardless, the graphics turned me off. Too cartoonish, and is it even possible to create a "hot looking" toon in WoW? /Boggle.
