Aion, Stargate, Champions, BioWare MMO, and the next City of Games are the titles I am keeping an eye open for atm.
It felts like I still look in too many directions, at too many MMOs...but their spacing and the fact most won't hold my interest long...oh well, we will see...that's assuming I don't have too many things to focus on in RL (hopefully, it will be the case). :) - "If I understand you well, you are telling me until next time.

Not at all dude im looking forward to those as well...but for some reason Stargate lost my interest and i hate asian games (love japanese anime tho). So the game I acually am waiting for wont even be in open beta for like a year or more :(. the closiest games till release tho are prob fallen earth and Dark fall. And thats about 8 months if im lucky till release :*(...Like i said my last hope for MMO's for the next 2 years are mythic lmao. And the last thing i wanna play is fuckin WOW...Id rather tickle a rhino's asshole then to play my damn holy pally again >< |

wotlk is coming out soon, the wife still plays wow, i'm sure it'll be a good 30-45 days of something to do.
there's always the chance that another game will get to where it's at the "fun" stage and i'll jump onto that game again.
could we please get correspondent writers and moderators, on the eve forum at mmorpg.com, who are well-versed on eve-online and aren't just passersby pushing buttons? pretty please? |

Yea because WAR is way more fun that WoW. I don't think WAR will have the same mass apeal as WoW. I mean there are people on wow who have never even played a computer game in their life before they picked up wow, because it's so simple and easy (dumbed-down) to play. /rolleyes More like because their friends/family swore up and down that it was an awesome game, and it runs on almost any computer. From a technical standpoint it's one of the highest quality MMO releases ever. That's why it's still on top. And no, I'm not a fanboy, I haven't subbed to WoW in well over a year. I'm just not afraid to say it like it is. |

Heh no its dumbed down...If 80% of all WoW players decided to quit WoW and try a game like EVE or SWG (pre cu) they would quit in about a week cause of difficulty.... I mean before fucken WoW there was no ( or very low amount) of kiddies playing. And that reason is because its simplistic. Which is fine but personally i like CHALLENGE not endless "endgame" grinds...another example is comparing something as simple as crafting, any retard can craft in WoW, try comparing the crafting in SWG which is like 3 years older then WoW. WoW was fun while it lasted but all there doing now is restarting the game every damn expansion making a year+ of hardwork meaningless. No thx, grats to the peeps that do enjoy it tho. |

AoC really proved you can't judge an MMORPG based on the early levels. Quality can go completely down hill with a bad development team and rushed launch. However, reportedly Mythic has put great care in assuring that the quantity and quality of content is consistent through the entire level progression at launch. I really enjoyed the game during the preview weekend, so at least I feel I'm over the first hurddle. Things look very promising. If it doesn't turn out to "be my thing" after a few months? LotRO Mines of Moria expansion would probably be my next hope. A few other possibilities. Always something around the bend in this genre. Want to know more about GW2 and why there is so much buzz?

Whether you personally enjoy the game or not is immaterial. Hell, I can't stand to even look at the game anymore. I am basing my evaluation of the game from a technical standpoint. The game will run on practically anything. There's rarely serious lag problems anymore, the game is highly polished, serious bugs get addressed more quickly than in almost every other game, the tooltips explain almost everything in the game very clearly and the various UI elements are easy to navigate. This is not dumbed down; it's intuitive and accessible and as I said earlier, this is why WoW is and will probably remain king. As far as MMOs go, it's a Ferrari for the price of a Honda Civic. That's why it's still untouchable, and all the MMO shovelware that has been released in recent years has failed to gain traction with the market. This genre wouldn't be so full of absolute garbage if gamers and developers alike understood the real reason so many people still play WoW. I believe Mythic are the first in a long time to have a grasp on this concept so the next couple months should be interesting. |

I strongly believe that WAR will be a successful MMO so no worries there. However, if I somehow lose interest or decide not to play anymore for whatever reason, then I guess the only other option is the next WoW expansion unfortunately. Atleast until something better comes out... |

War is an ok PVE game.The only problem is thats not what they are promising.For those ignorant of what good rvr is..it may take them a while to realize there is not much good rvr in the game.For those wanting to jump into the next hyped game...it will satisfy..until the next hyped game comes out. |

Well you obviously hate WoW. I'd have to agree to the guy that responded to you, you're being ridiculous. These are video games. No, when I started playing WoW and moved to SWGs (pre-nge) I had no troubles playing it. WoW has the same amount of "kiddies" playing it as any other MMO out there. This is the biggest load of BS I see about this game. WoW did not single-handedly introduce the genre of MMOs to children, games simply grew as a part of life for children. Any MMO out there now has the same amount of kids playing as any other MMO (excluding the ones specifically aimed at children). I think what you are confused about (as many seem to be) is the difference in age and community, which I can honestly say, can be quite poor in WoW. Give me an MMO that isn't a grind please, I'll play it. You're thinking of single-player RPGs, and even some of those can be considered grinds! Crafting is supposed to be simple, it is not supposed to be a challenge or a frustration as it was in pre-NGE SWG. I don't see anything wrong with having to start a new leveling experience. Last time I checked experiencing new parts of a new game world is fun. I'm not a fan of WoW, but a subscriber. I play it because there isn't anything better on the market currently and it's simple fun. There's a reason it is the Wal-Mart of MMOs. I'll be having fun playing my Death Knight and you can have fun hating the game using ridiculous excuses.

Well I don't disagree with the guy about the merits of SWG's crafting system or a few of his other points. I just think anyone who says WoW is "dumbed down" is fundamentally misinterpreting the game's appeal and continued popularity. Of course, one can always find reasons to believe they are more intellligent and sophisticated than the next guy, but the reality of it is that's rarely true. |

For me, there's no way it can fail. The combat seems solid and I'll be too busy running around yelling "OH MY GOD I GET EXPERIENCE FROM PVP I LOVE YOU MYTHIC HAVE SOME MONEY" to notice any serious flaws. |

if war fails (to entertain me) im going back to lineage2 and keep my aoc account open while waiting for aion and chronicles of spellborne. as i did in the past i try ddo each module since i like them very much. seeing that matrix only, age of cammelot and other stuff is still out there i dont think games utterly fail these days if they have a company backing them up that is ok with not having 10mil subscribers like wow. for the market to stay alive and competitive its really nice to have the choice what game suits your gamestyle, flavour of lore and time-resources best. for the market to really evolve fast it would be best tough to have 2-3 heavy competitors tough to fight for their customers and not just shove the monthly subscription onto some ceos bank account if your bored, visit my blog at: |

But seriously if it does fail its gonna suck for me lolz. At one point while waiting for AOC I had a mindset already in place "If AOC fails theres always WAR" lol. Now WAR is my only hope to keep me busy till biowares MMO lol
If only SW:TOR could be this epic...
