Sure, I wouldn't be surprised either. But I, for one, cannot boldly say that it's THE WoW killer unless that time happens.

Other than the "minor companies who had to launch before debugging, or SOE," you pretty much knocked out 90% of the companies who "can" produce a playable game that requires subscription.

I'd be much more swayed by Starcraft 2 being the WOW killer rather than any game out there at the moment. It's guaranteed a few things: it's free online, it's great, and damn it's a lot of fun.
