I don't think so. GW2 and TSW are both fun, although I'm not sure how much longevity they have. Certainly it's showed that Buy To Play is the preferred payment model currently for players. TSW is having more success now that they've gone that route. It will be interesting to see how the batch of upcoming 2013 MMO's do.

People seem to be hyping ArcheAge out the wazoo currently. And that's sad because of the tendancy for overly hyped MMO's to disappoint and it ends up hurting them in the long run.

2011 was worse I think.

I got some enjoyment out of TOR in late 2011 early 2012.

Got some good enjoyment out of GW2 and hope to continue to visit and revisit that game over time.

I'm currently back in WoW and enjoying the game immensily.

And I'm looking to try out PS2 this weekend.

Not too bad of a year IMO.

I'm looking forward to FFXIV and maybe TESO/Neverwinter in 2013, maybe some Archeage late 2013?

More excited for Defiance now though that took me by surprise (the gameplay video reveal).

Hopefully we'll start hearing more about Titan and EQNext in 2013 too.

All of that makes for a good year of MMO gaming and I am really hyped for Xbox Next (720) or whatever in 2013 too!

And of course MS Surface Pro dropping - can't wait to pick one of those up to replace my work laptop.

Yes. It has.

I feel like MMORPGs are being made to just profit off the initial launch. It's like none of them think about longevity.

Bingo!

For me, a good MMO is ulimately about community. What's the point of investing yourself in a community that isn't going to be around in 6 months?

Amidst all the failures, Eve Online has pulled me through another year.. yeay!

Dust huh?  Maybe you should try EVE Online. 

Actually 2012 has brought MMO's back alive for me. With the release of Guild Wars 2 I have found another MMO that I enjoy and have been having a blast.

It's been a long time MMO genre. Thank you ANET for a fantastic game.

pretty much, i had high hopes for a lot of games, mostly gw2 and d3. I was a huge fan of gw1/d2 and played them hours on end, but gw2/d3 i was bored within a week of both games. I don't see much else on the horizon for rpgs, other than archeage which looks like more of the same to me.

It seems like now days game companies make games to sell copies, not to keep people playing. Which is sad because I'm the type of person who can play a single game for years straight, but thats just not possible for a mmo anymore i think, not if this is the way they decide to develop them.

See for me i cant get in to anything theses days i have and own every game on the market and play test alot of game's still to come out yet no matter what game i play or how new or old the game is i cant get in to it. 

For me it has. I've tried to quit playing MMOs for the last 2 years, but without luck. There was always something new & interesting around the corner. Now, at the end of 2012, I haven't played any MMO intensively for the last 3 months. Looks like the bad releases of the last few years and the major disappointment of those in 2012 really made me quit...

Dust as in the crap that sits on your shelf from lack of use not the game. I have the game and barely play it.
