Recently I saw an advertisement for a new WoW expansion. Not only was this expansion priced at a whopping $59.99, this is a 10+ year old subscription based game priced at $14.99 per month.
The Elder Scrolls Online is also based on a similar business model. However, it is new and *shiny*, has a substantially different art style and color palette to WoW, has an optional yet completely viable first person POV and above all it is powered by the TES Brand name. It offers a few things that will be new to the WoW crowd. All this will be sufficient to draw players away from WoW, and spell the death knell for that MMO behemoth. WoW will not collapse overnight ofcourse, as even UO is still continuing after around 20 years.
But WoW will cease eventually to make a difference or to matter. And this will directly be the fault of TES: Online.
