I said it, prematurely I might add, with Star Wars: The Old Republic, which as you may or may not know troubled WoW a little for a spell, but is now free-to-play just like all the others that tried and failed to slay the Blizzard dragon. We all like to insist that "this MMO that I'm playing is the best one, or else why would I be playing it?" but there's no shame in admitting that no matter what, it'll never manage to bother WoW.
