How many will we lose to WoW and how many will come back?
I think about 40-50% of total population will try WoW, I think 10 to 20% of paying customers will leave for WoW.
But then again, I might be wrong...

Re: How many?
Doesn't interest me in the slightest.
Just another generic fantasy game doing the same things over again, even if it is doing them 'better'.
Ryzom is far more interesting and with the constant changes and alterations coming in and being rebalanced it's interesting and the setting at least shows some effort at imaginging and implementing something new.
I was vaguely interested to look at D&D Online, simply because D&D is the granddaddy that EQ ripped off to start with and because it uses a variant of the tabletop rules. However I don't like Eberron, so no D&D online for me. Pah!
Ryzom it is then

Re: How many?
I might be tempted to do a trial of WoW if they'd offer a free one like Nevrax offers one of SoR.
However I think the two games attract wildly different customers. WoW is more 7334 Blizz-kiddies while SoR is more adult carebears.
I'll stay with SoR, been here since OB1, survived the desolation of Patch 1, survived the death of a guild, heck, I'll survive WoW.

I'm not so sure about Episode 2.

Re: How many?
Don't know about others.
But as for me I can guarantee you that I won't leave SoR for another MMO game.

Re: How many?
I'm planning on sticking with ryzom as far as I can see, Im not planning on leaving for another game, especially as after a year or so I still love ryzom 
As for *that other game* I know several people on my MSN who have tried and hated it, their customer service is lowsy compared with Ryzom's and my friends have been going on about the actual engine itself. But thats just what I hear
At the end of the day I cant judge *that other game* without first trying it, and so long as ryzom is here, Im not planning to

I tried city of heroes but it felt like a one player game, not an MMO.sprite wrote:The only MMO that even vaguely tempts me is City Of Heroes once they bring out the City Of Villains expansion :-/ apart from that I'm buond to Atys![]()
Its nice but I knew it wasn't for me when I saw 'villains' just standing around in groups like normal spawns, waiting to be beaten up. Ryzom feels more 'natural' in that respect.
Also, how can you feel like a hero in a city full of them?
Meh.
Oh, and just for Fryde... EBERRON!
(Honestly, why not forgotten realms?)
