the role-playing genre
World of Warcraft has a lot to look forward to in its third year. The subscriber base for the game should grow, as it is now a genuine mainstream success. The expansion has been the most significant update to the game yet. It is clear that World of Warcraft will continue to prosper and will be around for a long time to come.
World of Warcraft will also see its influence grow in 2007. Its success has inspired the game industry to develop similar titles and explore where the role-playing genre can go. There are games in development that intend to follow Warcraft ’s lead. The title “Borderlands” from Red Mushroom is one such example. This massively multi-player online role-playing game aims to refine its genre even further, by making the game play more competitive and ruthless. It will be interesting to see how it performs.
