That has to be the stupidest thing I have ever heard.

WWII Online was THE very first MMOFPS. It was a revolutionary game. Did you expect it to last forever? It was the first FPS game that had massive numbers of troops in battle (not bots - HUMANS) at the same time.

Did you play it? Probably not.

Planetside is THE MMOFPS right now. It is 3 years old, so yes it is on the downslide as another poster said. But, they have a lot of very cool features and ideas that have come from 3 years of being one of two MMOFPS games.

If you haven't played planetside, you should. The "reserves" program (free play up to level 6) was actually a great idea, and brought in tons of new players. If you haven't checked it out, you should. It is a perfect example of what an MMOFPS (non rpg) should be like.

Saying these games were failures is like saying doom was a failure because no one plays it anymore. The fact that you use WoW as an example shows you do not want a FPS you are an RPG panszy.
