In this video instead of reviewing every single system or bug that I encountered during my playtime in Alpha II, I will instead tell you all how ashes of creation has brought back the MMOs of old. Does this mean it can answer the two decade old question: Will it kill World of Warcraft?

The grind will keep it from ever being a WOW killer. It will turn off a large portion of the WOW audience. Who knows, maybe they will tweak the exp gains. Grouping helps, but it took a lot of time for me to hit 25.

One thing I hope to never see in Ashes is daily quests and timegated content.
Can't kill a game that has been dead in the water since it came out of vanilla… at least for sandbox and old-school MMO enjoyers.
F that, I'm soloing from day 1 in this B. I don't care if it takes me 4 years to get to level cap. I have no friends, no wife/gf and my kids are 18/20. I got nothing but time. haha
I started playing EQ when it first came out. Was part of some of the greatest event, including first kill of Ventani. I have played so many other MMOs, but over the years it just seems like MMOs have lost the magic. Now that I have been playing AoC alpha, I feel like there is a small flicker of magic returning. I'm staying up all night to play, then waking up in the morning to get a couple of hours in before work. When the servers are down, I feel like I'm a drug addict going through withdrawals.
The game is beautiful but I still am not sold on the combat. I am not a fan of Blizzard anymore, but if there's anything they do really well is that their combat FEELS good. Combat that has weight; when you get a crit, you feel it.
The combat in this game mimics a very eastern style, and I honestly really dislike that- this seems to be a common sentiment considering it's targeting mosty a western audience. If anything turns me away from AoC, it's the combat and combat style. I just don't like it. Also, it's too flashy.
This video earned a sub. Great stuff I want to hear more AOC content from you!
In the end the true WoW killer was WoW. Final Fantasy had a higher player count for a few months in Shadowlands.
Well hey, sounds like you'll enjoy it. So surely some other people will enjoy it as well. It's a shame the game has taken so long to make.
I'm super looking forward to PoE 2!!! YEEEEEEEEE
This mmorpg gives me hope for the genre. I'm over seasonal models and battlepasses.
this game wont be out for years though have you seen the road map its YEARS away, i will check it out when it comes out but i have a feeling its a scam.
Game is not even on beta, and missing 90% of the systems. My Local Youtuber: iS tHiS a wOw kIlLEr?????
subscribed after 6min, well done.
bruh what was that fkn intro.. HA!
Wow killed itself.😂
Everquest 3 and archeage 2 coming out innanfew years as well.😮
100% agree, been playing since before alpha II launch, it has been making massive progress every week, and is fun af to play even in Alpha.
Dear Game Musings With Raziel,
to be fair World of Warcraft is "also" about to kill itself. The Storyline since Battle for Azerite got worse and worse every Expansion. "LEGION" was the last, true Warcraft Expansion. These People deserve to go broke after what they did.
I'm so hyped for this. Great review.
Ashes certainly has my curiosity, I do hope the devs stick to their guns.
Completely different game in the end and with the PvEvP focus very niche.
While – when done well – it got the potential to have a number of players, it's unlikely to ever bring in millions, especially long term and the whole focus on guilds/alliances which will dominate the servers as it is now, will definetely shoo away many.
Different target audiences. Maybe vanilla players will switch but the retail players won't.
