Let's not forget all the WoW killers while we're at it. Warhammer so was going to kill WoW a few years ago. Rift was supposed to be the next big WoW killer. Yesterday I was on my hunter doing bgs and some guy in bg chat is postive that the new Star Wars The Old Republic is going to be the next WoW killer. Any other WoW killers out there? For some reason the names escape me.
