Looks pretty interesting, it's an upcoming MMO. CEO and Creative Director is a long time MMO player so he seems to know his chit.
Not sure when it's coming out but here's an interview/pre-alpha gameplay
Asmongold interviews the Creative Director of the upcoming MMO Ashes of Creation, Steven Sharif. Ashes is a MMORPG which takes place within a medieval fantasy setting, blending imagination with cutting-edge graphics. Ashes of Creation will incorporate the best parts of traditional MMORPGs with innovative sandbox concepts. The first trailer of the game was released in 2019 and it is planned to be playable, at least in an alpha/beta format, in 2020. Can this be the hardcore MMORPG Classic WoW players might look forward once the 15 years old Blizzard game will reach its natural end? Mcconnell joins the discussion...
One thing that I like is the PVP system. Can kill players and pop equipped gear from their body, das it.

Nothing is going to kill WoW, it will just slowly die. The playerbase is too dedicated and have too much invested.
AoC has a lot of potential though. The CEO is a long time MMO player and gamer nerd before he got into developing games, and has played all the classics.. You can tell in his interviews that he isn't just some CEO trying to make money, the dude totally gets it from a players point of view, because he is one. He's also funding the game and has no board of directors to answer to ETC.
This game has great potential, more than Pantheon.*Dallas Cowboys Crew*

WoW is there for the taking. I don't see the core player base leaving for another game, but plenty of us casuals have no interest in ever going back. I quit in early BoA and my interest was already hanging by a thread.

still a bit skeptical
me personally from what I got from the interview, this is going to be a "hardcore mmo".
While not a bad thing, my concern is that there will be a huge gap between people who "no-life" the game and people who are really only able to play say for 10-15 hours a week. Aka people with jobs. I mean I don't expect people who don't play as much to be the best players or gods at the game or expect them to be as good as people who put more time in the game.
But coming from the perspective of somebody who wants to play a game, really enjoys a game but is unable to put the amount of time they would like, it would be extremely frustrating if there is an extremely huge gap between people who play say 10-15 hours a week to say somebody who plays 40-45 hours a week. You get what you put in but from that standpoint, why play the game, even try to gear up or do PvP content when you would just get completely destroyed with no hope of even competing. I guess big guilds can somewhat bridge this but as a "casual gamer", having a fighting chance would be nice, at least when it comes to end game. Otherwise it just becomes who can no life the game the most, I think there should be diminishing returns to it as to keep things more balanced, while still also providing benefit to playing more, maybe extra stats or skill points, but not have it so gamebreaking.

there will never be an mmo that kills wow. wow will decline until blizzard stops supporting it, and nothing will ever be as big. unless there is some virtual reality type ****. but most kids these days don't like mmo type ****.

Don't have heroes; look up to no one. Because as long as someone's leading the way, the best you'll ever be is second.

I'd love a new MMO, but it's never the same as my first love back in 2005, WoW. The only one that came close was GW2.. I actually should have continued playing longer than I did. ESO had a TON of potential but it went the single player route. I swerved on the asian mmos that came out between then and now so can't comment on those. Will skim through the OP and see what this game is about. But I agree, the MMO genre is dying and only us boomers will be playing it, the younger generation prefers twitch FPS games.

as a filthy casual I would support this.
But they shouldn't lose it permanently.
It should be confiscated and they have to earn it back by defeating people their own level.
in retail WOW it really wasn't a problem when I played regularly because I had a guild and friends with high level toons ever so happy to grief someone camping my alt. then Blizzard started taking honor points from people who constantly attacked lesser toons and I noticed a difference.
Now they have some other system I really haven't looked at because I only came back after a multi-year hiatus for classic.
in classic my level 40 ish warrior doesn't get griefed much.
sometimes people wait until i'm fighting a mob to attack me though. lol.
dat platemail.
but other MMO's i'm trying out where I'm new and don't know anyone...some people seem to have nothing better to do than just gank lowbies and corpse camp them to the point where you literally have to log for an hr or get on an alt so you can still play.
have logged for 30 mins. and found *******s still waiting around for me to spawn just so they can kill me again.

I do remember shortly after starting classic a group of alliance attacked the Tauren starting area village and a bunch of us lowbies hid on the bottom of the nearby pond just past the hill with a lock giving everyone water breathing.
there were a handful of us just hanging out shooting the chit.
the rouge would occasionally sneak up to see if they were gone.
I played a lock since TBC and I can't even remember if I ever needed to use water breathing.
