To the Grey Havens...then over the Sea to the west.

I don't like where the genre is going. The last MMO I paid for was LOTRO; I subscribed for 3 months about this time last year. It's a solid game but I just couldn't justify paying a subscription for what really felt like a single-player game. For now I'll probably stick to traditional single player games and RPGs but I might come back for Diablo 3.

Diablo 3 IS a single player RPG, so it's nothing to come "back" to, if you ask me.  I suppose you could consider it co-op or a CORPG, but it's definitely NOT an MMO.

If I had the money, I would make a Mechwarrior/Battletech MMO that had the skill system of Pre-CU and the content of NGE. I would have it take place in 3045. Right after the Grey Death Legion discovered the Star League Core, but before the introduction of the clans. PvP would be awesome because you would have more than just 2 factions, plus all the different mercenary and pirate factions. I would have land, atmospheric and space combat, including warships and dropships, integrated. Hell. My favorite would be the LAMs (Land, Air Mechs).

But that is just my dream and I know it would never happen.

this would be badass. Battlemaster FTW

I know many of us are headed to SWTOR.

Been bouncing back and forth between WoW and other MMO's since the NGE myself, but heading to TOR for the foreseeable future.

What about you?

Tera, and later down the road archeage

Kinect Star Wars

lol horrible

Interesting stuff on the horizon:
Dominus
World of Darkness
The Repopulation

Had my 3 months of SWTOR but now waiting for Planetside 2 beta (PS 1 is active but only logged in a couple times), also waiting until april 11 for the Aion F2P date in NA and of course a certain emu. Not much interest elsewhere otherwise.

I went back to EQ2 and watching and waiting for Plannet Side 2.

SWTOR lasted a little over 1.5 months for me. Now just like every other WOW clone it is canned. I enjoyed the leveling up process and I tried to enjoy the world pvp.. The battlegrounds... I mean Warzones kept me busy for a few weeks but ultimately.. This sums up the game...

So back to the waiting pattern I go.

I had been hanging out in EQ2, but SJ rune that game for me so I moved over to SWTOR and gosh almighty I am so bored with SWTOR it is not funny.

All I can say is I am not sure where I am going but it will not be an SOE game for sure.  

I had hopes for tera but looks like I will be disappointed, and diablo III really does not have my interest, and I will not play GW2.

So looks like I might leave the mmo seen for a while and go play some fps rpg games.

I sure am not going to reward dev failure with subs on games that are not good.

Curious why your so adamant against GW2? Me and my brother are extremely disappointed with TOR(its like they took the gear grind from WoW but took nothing else from any other game), we've been pretty much out of the mmo thing for awhile, because of SWG we gave TOR a shot(Beat it, got all the gear, and bored standing around waiting on huttball ques).

GW2 looks like it has exploration, which is an aspect I loved with SWG. I'm not defending GW2, I'm more curious at this point. We've also been looking at secret world(only because it looks different)

This goes back to tabula rasa days, and the mess that happened.  Yea I know your going to say but they are not ncsoft, but really they are.   I tried aion and well yes oh well  lets just say I got no faith in that dev house simple as that.

Oh no, thats cool, I actually didn't play tabula rasa so I couldn't say anything if I wanted too lol, I don't know anything about it. However I do know at a point I wanted everyone at SOE to get cancer(not really), but I'm gonna try planet side, maybe. It does seem like developers do make the same mistakes over and over again which is odd, is there just not a selection of new talent in the gaming market Lol.

Like I said, me and my brother really want to get back into something mmo wise, but so far they are so disappointing. I will probably try TSW, Planetside or GW2. Not sure which, I thought you had some info on gw2 so I was just curious.

I hate to say it, specially since I used to rail against how much odd stuff there was in SWG, now I wish mmo'es would have more things to do other than warzones, and raids.(especially if theres not alot of them)

I gave SOE another chance after SWG, but now they have blown it, although there is still hope. The deal has not been fully finaalised yet, but there looks to be no negotitions currently to fix the situation, unlike the issue of being stuck on EU servers.

When they migrate EU customers over to Prosibien and they have their multi-game pass going we will lose access to EQ1 and Vanguard on our mulli-game pass, so if we want to play EQ 1 and Vanuard, and other SOE games, we will have to pay whatever for Antisibiens multi-game pass + $15 for EQ1 + $15 for Vanguard individually, plus no doubt lose the extra char slots with Vanguard you get from SOEs All Access deal.

To make matters worse, US players are not affected, which is good for US players and I am glad they are OK, but it shows SOE  feels fit to treat EU customers horribly, which I will not stand for.

Hopefully they are in the works to fixing this, but if not then I will not play a SOE game ever again either.

New EU players can still get SOE All Access by choosing their country as United States, but will probably incure currency conversion fees when charged in USD to whatever currency you use. So not totally ideal, as will probably still cost more, but not a much as paying for individual subs

This affects us players as well, those who are in the military or sometimes have to do business outside the us. If your in the military and stationed in the EU your going to get locked out as well, despite the sofa agreements.  Not to mention what this does to those of us who had guilds made up of EU players,  In the guild that I was in we had 3 folks from Norway, 2 folks from Denmark and several other spread out though the uk.  Now I not played since AOD was released been over in swtor, but I frequent our guild forums to talk with them.   All 8 of them when the deal goes though will be affected, 5 of them refuse to open an alaplaya account, the other 3 are still on the fence.  Too carve out and ip lock and force part of your player base to use another company is crazy.  SOE lost me when aod was launched with 0 playable content other than beast lord, and now I know I will not go back to them. I don't care what planet-side looks like not going to touch it, as prosieben bought the purblishing rights to that game as well.
