Fallen Earth belongs on the list.

• There are 200,000 ex-SWG players out there still looking for a sandbox MMO to call home.
• There are millions of old-timer gamers like myself that are bigtime fans of the Fallout series (FE clearly inspired by those games)
• There is a large demand for a post-appocolyptic MMO. Take a look at any post here where folks are asked what setting would you like to see besides fantasy or sci fi and the top one (next to horror) is post-appocolyptic

The potential is unlimted for Fallen Earth. I could see the game getting 500-750k players easily with a halfway decent build. That makes it a top 5 MMO in North America

Fallen earth will not be released for sure in 2008 , maybe not even 2009, thats why it is not on the list,

On the other hand same goes for Darkfall too but i put it on the list cause the demand was too damn high....

PS. Rigonn good luck with finding the game u want, if ur find it ever. You demand too much from  a game.

Anyway, if u find it plz  pm me instantly so i can join !!!!

Warhammer Online of course!

To FFandDB as I keep repeating, a game already gave me what i wanted once, SWG, but all of a sudden it got destroyed. Be sure to hear me ROAR once I find a game with the requirements I demand, I'll be the happiest man on earth.

What I am truly looking for is the basic essentials of an mmo.

What are these?

1.  A Game where you have to dedicate more than a month to achieve max level.

2. Reasonable play time. Not like WoW where you have to dedicate your life in order to get gear and such.

3. A good GM community that actually pays attention to the player.

4. SKILL-BASED GAMING offering more than 6+ lousy classes but  letting you choose from over 20 classes such as SWG was before.

5. Good enough engine that does not obligate an upgrade to your computer nor removes the necesity of evolving mmorpg's.

I could keep on going but these are the simple details I ask of an mmorpg.

Heh, looks like Saga of Ryzom would've been exactly what you're looking for!  Too bad its currently shut down while its in the process of changing hands.  Who know how long that'll be before its resolved and if it even comes back online too!

I miss Ryzom...

True, Fallen Earth won't be coming out for quite a bit BUT i'd be willing to wait only IF the game is good enough.

Yes it was good, but.....

As long as The Chronicles of Spellborn and Jumpgate Evolution turn out to be good games that have healthy communities I do not really care what the next big game is ;p Im assuming by next great game you meant the next market leader for mmos.

WoW will still be the number one subscription based mmo at the end of this year, and most likely when they release WOTLK they will get new players, retain old ones, and perhaps bring back some who left. I really doubt any game will become the new market leader any time soon.

I am not really looking forward to it, but Aion could easily give WoW a run for its money (In terms of subscribers) if it laches on to the korean/chinease market that it seems to be appealing to.

The only way any mmo will become the market leader is if Blizzard drastically changes WoW to the point they lose 3/4 of their subscribers. Which is entirely possible, just need to ask SOE ;p

Edit: btw I would not class Age of Conan as an mmo at this point, 50 people or so maximum in a zone before an instance is made of that zone, and a maximum of 98 people in siege does not make your game an mmo, just a multiplayer online game. Im not saying that it is not a good game, it probably is or will be in a few months. But I think that if a game has less that 300 people minimum in a zone it is not an mmo at all.

Atleast when Arena Net made Guild Wars at no point did they claim that it was an MMO and as such they did not charge monthly for it. Btw did someone say earlier in the thread that star craft 2 was an mmo lol
