- rest are not mmo's.

- list lacks wildstar

EQNext and Neverwinter aren't MMO's?  If thats what you're really intending to say we have wildly different opionions of what an MMO is.  I do agree with you about TESO and Wildstar though..

Neverwinter was originally designed to be a CORPG until PWE bought up Cryptic from Atari. I think Rthuth missed 2 years MMO info or so.

But frankly does this year not really seems better or worse than 2010, 2011 or 2012. And I assume that 1 or 2 games will be delayed anyways.

2007 server so yeah not runescape 2 which was indeed when it went 3d, it will also be slower skill gains i beleive back before u could max a character out in like a month

Other than what was also mentioned your list lacks some huge games.   

Firefall is huge and will be even bigger when released.

Defiance is also going to be something to look foreward too. I mean come on this will be the first time (im pretty sure) that a MMO has been tied into an ongoing TV show. Also the game play looks awesome.

If you like playing solo 100% of the time, having about the same FPS mechanics as Duke Nukem (the first one), and can handle a console ported UI (think DCUO upon release).  Sure, yep.

To be honest I have not played it. I have just seen vids and think its awesome that it ties into the TV show every week.

I was mildly interested in NWN, then I saw the videos...

now I think I wont play any MMO this year

Quantity doesn't matter, quality does.

Just sort the game list here on mmorpg by date. You will see that every year at most 1-2 real MMORPG's were released. That number stayed more or less constant over time. But the number of MMO-like games increased each year. Unfortunately they are all crap and not worth to spend any time on them.

This year is not different. Just more copy&paste than the years before.

Well the main game im looking forward to this year is The Repopulation..

I dont think we will be seeing EQ Next release this year or Archeage but maybe beta access so who knows. but for now there is only one on my radar this year..

Tion has confirmed ArcheAge will have a 2013 release date.

I read the other week that Wildstar is expected to be released end of 2013 too.

I doubt the others though will release in 2013, the only one I can see possibly releasing is Blade and Soul, and only because it's NCSoft.

I'm most looking forward to ESO, Wildstar but mainly ArcheAge.

2013 will be the most interesting and biggest year for MMO's in a long time if - ArcheAge, Wildstar, ESO, EQ Next and Defiance release.

well certainly are a ton of MMOs, or seudo MMOs coming out this year, but the last couple of years have been absolutely filled with them.

also Archeage, supposed to come out this year as well
