If there ever is going to be a WoW like game again, I'm sure it won't be this one. This isn't a terrible game by any means but it just doesn't have that certain special something that makes it stand out.

Let's be real. Noone is going to ever dominate WoW-style again and WoW filled a vacuum which noone else felt like in need to be filled and when they tried to do the same they were too late for that and tried to emulate WoW's formula of success. A formula which only worked because it had noone else's than its own shoes to fill.
Even WoW's star is declining, slowly, but it is and the result will be a market with a few nameable titles where no game sticks out as special and the only recommendable game anymore. Just as it should be.

And I think it will be over 5 million by the end of the year.
5 Million, what are you smoking? This game really isnt that popular in the gaming scene anymore. The only reason its doing ok at the moment, is because of the relation to Star Wars.

A game like zynga poker of facebook is not subscription based but "buy items" based and they do 100 of millions in profits...

MMO might change the format to this but they will survive because we the players need them one way or another.
You do realize Titan is not going to be a MMORPG? It's going to be a Social MMO, nothing to do with WoW or SWTOR. It's going to be targeting all those millions that Zynga is making right now. All of these people claiming it's going to be better than WoW have no idea how pissed they are going to be. Blizzard isn't stupid enough to compete with a game with 10 years worth of content.

Also: see Diablo 3. I would be surprised if Titan will not turn out to be based around real money item trade (with a cut for Blizzard on each transaction, of course) and possibly also Blizzard's own item shop.

How could you possibly know what Titan is going to be LOL!
Help me, Bio-Ware Support; you're my only hope.

Because Blizzard has already stated NUMEROUS times it is not going to compete with WoW and will be a casual/social based game. It is targeting an entirely different playerbase and there are such things as insider sites that you can gain information that isn't really made public. Thanks for asking.

LotRO is a solid game and a solid freemium setup as well.

People bag on F2P because economics are hard, but freemium makes more money than P2P unless you're WoW.
