SW - wow clone
Tera - wow clone with boobies & korean grind fest
GW2 - solo like the first we'll find out? only reason GW1 is still alive is because its F2P.
And yet, all of them will most likely do better than XIV. It's one thing being different for a reason, and another being different "just because". Sadly, the only thing that can "kill" WoW is Blizzard themselves.

btw - Tera is far from a WoW clone, I'm playing the JP version right now and the whole thing is way different than other MMOs. Also, the game "flopped" in Korea because it didn't have enough grind (funny huh?). Same with GW2, seems too different to be a WoW clone. The only one in that list is SW:TOR.

From all the posts, I seem to agree more with Xianghua. I wouldn't care if it took me a hundred times to defeat Ifrit or Moogle, as long as I could do it on my schedule and not have long cool downs.
