Although i expect it to come out next year, realy looking forward to some more info in August for there fanfare.

SOE will have a playable demo in early August -- should know most things/everything in 6 months

elder scrolls online.

i'm hoping they can bring a living organic world/exploration to the mmo experience.

i still haven't found that which i seek within an mmo to where i've been satisfied.

Nothing jumps out at me at the moment.  I've been around long enough to know that getting worked up about one of these games is kind of silly.  We'll have to wait & see if any of them are very good.

I'd be interested in seeing more information about World of Darkness and EQNext.  WoD has the potential to be unique in a very crowded genre, and EQNext because EQ in a sandbox sounds interesting.  I'm curious to see what they actually do with it; what it's actually like versus the hype that they're currently spreading about it.

ArcheAge, Neverwinter, FFXIV: ARR

We'll know something about it, but far from "most things".  Demos are just that:  Demos.  They're strictly controlled environments that will present only what the devs what to show, and it will be shown in the best possible light.  Even the graphics that we see from the demo will be "subject to change", unless stated otherwise, so even that is only an estimation of what will be in the final product.

A lot of people fall into this trap, then get excited, then rage once the game is released and doesn't meet expectation.

Only you can prevent rage fires.

When an MMO has basically all open-world content segregated by faction you know pretty much instantly that exploration is right out the window... How can you explore a world when you're artificially restricted from visiting two thirds of it?

I'm going to add Wildstar to my list though I think; I wasn't interested at first but recent news on it has been very very promising. I'm glad to see so many upcoming games implement housing as well!

You got too much crap in that list and dont even have ArcheAge which has been one of the most anticipated for years.

This.

My personal choice is "other". which is Archeage.

A lot of interesting prospects are coming out this year. Most of us have been burned at one type or another by the hype train, but a lot of are eternal optimists and we start to get our hopes up again. 

 

EDIT: I know -- I didn't list ArcheAge. Is it supposed to come out in 2013? What game should I have cut off the list for ArcheAge?

Heh, alot of people are already playing Dust :-D Alot of growth potential with Dust as well. Since PS3's out sold Xbox 360ies 77million to 74 million in January.  Elder Scrolls is definitely my big pick. But we will see how that goes after April. I did pre-purchase Defiance . It will between those two overall for the year.

None of the above...

at least until i actually KNOW theyre good.

EQNext(supposedly)

Archage

I chose Wildstar, because I don't know when the GW2 expansion is being released.

Also, maybe TESO....... maybe.
