NPD did a survey recently on the question we all ask: What MMOs do World of Warcraft players play when they no longer player World of Warcraft? Based on a survey of nearly 19,000, the reason I note this survey in particular is because NPD has a pretty good past of their surveys giving an accurate representation.
So, without further ado, here is the list:
- Runescape
- Dungeons and Dragons
- Guild Wars
- Final Fantasy XI
- Age of Conan
- Champions Online
- Second Life
- Lord of the Rings Online
- City of Villains
- City of Heroes
- Eve Online
- Treasure Hunt
- Aion
- Warhammer Online
- Pirates of the Caribbean
- Toontown
- Dark Age of Camelot
- Star Wars Galaxies
My only disagreement is lumping City of Heroes and City of Villains as their own games. City of X has been the one game representing both titles for several years now, and they are no longer standalone titles.
I do, however, feel bad for The last six items on the list. I hadn’t even heard of Treasure Hunt MMO, and I couldn’t find much information on it, but the fact that it is beating out six titles is both confusing and raises a few questions about those MMOs, for another article.
Any ex-World of Warcraft players here? What are you playing nowadays?
Also, does anyone play Second Life?
You’re right on the CoX thing. That said, I spent the vast majority of my time being a Villain.
Treasure hunt seems to be a game in development, odd that so many in the survey where trying it
