I just posted my inexperienced opinion on Terranova, but I'll post
it here too:

The more game-like a VW becomes, the more game-like its sales curve
will be... When they use up all the content, I expect players will
leave and move on to the next big game, such as GuildWars, MEO, D&D
Online, or EQII (if it's made more like WoW).
