What Are Former WoW Players Doing? NPD Says:


This is an old image of mine.

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:

  1. Runescape
  2. Dungeons and Dragons
  3. Guild Wars
  4. Final Fantasy XI
  5. Age of Conan
  6. Champions Online
  7. Second Life
  8. Lord of the Rings Online
  9. City of Villains
  10. City of Heroes
  11. Eve Online
  12. Treasure Hunt
  13. Aion
  14. Warhammer Online
  15. Pirates of the Caribbean
  16. Toontown
  17. Dark Age of Camelot
  18. 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?

  1. 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.
