Just wondering if any of today's MMOs will reach 100 years. That would be a really interesting point in human history, having a virtual world run for so long.

- ghostbrainalpha 8y agoI think about it like this. Good stories have incredible staying power. Disney movies like Cinderella, and Snow White can always be remade with newer technology because there core story is worth adapting to the new mediums. World of Warcraft started with some very good lore. I remember enjoying the huge back stories that came in the instruction manuals before the game even became an MMO. So I think it has a chance to hit that 100 year mark. That doesn't mean it will have a continuous virtual world for the entire 100 years though. But I think through a couple revivals it could make it. I also worry the IP is not really unique enough to guarantee it will be here, but I do think they are working that.
