World of Warcraft has killed the MMO's

The head of Red 5 Studios confirmed to several media that World of Warcraft has killed the MMO's , many of them died before release.

" The players came in droves, millions of them . But at what cost? Sometimes I look at World of Warcraft and I wonder ... What have we done? I think we killed the genre. "

"Every MMO that follow the WoW formula are trivial exercises, dominated by routine and convention. A trip with meaningless tasks ".

" We run towards the end, hoping for a miracle that the end of the game we keep playing. But he never does. With Firefall we have found that adding more difficulty and depth has actually made ​​it more fun. "

"Maybe in the industry have made ​​things easier and it may be time to revisit the games that are challenging and fun," said the company.

There’s something I haven’t shared openly with anyone. A dark secret I kept locked away for years. I hid it because I believed that this secret was meant to be a side of me that no one else in my personal or god forbid professional world would forgive. That secret is… I used to be a closet World of Warcraft addict.

There, I said it.

Now, having moved on from my WoW days and heavily into the corporate sales world, I have been spending a lot of time trying to justify what I actually gained from all of this time and experience!

The answer is a lot.

I also know for a fact there are millions of other people who share the same secret. It’s time for the two worlds to converge, and I am going to give you insights into exactly what you can learn from video games like WoW and apply in real life to succeed!
