1. The Day.  A mmorpg from Reloaded Studios. I really like the concept art . You play in the past and the furture. It uses Cryengine 2. (Aion uses Cryengine 1)
2. Guild Wars 2. I played Guild Wars 1 and liked it very much. I dislike they add new playable races. Think they should focus on making content and variations in the classes.
3. Mabinogi:Heroes. It uses the Half-life 2 engine and looks very fun with all objects you can interact with. You can throw a table at the enemy, use the enemy body as shield.
4. Continent of the Ninth. Maybe too much hack and slach
5. Blizzards next gen mmorpg.

I enjoy this game very much, and my scout/rouge is the one I have most fun playing.

The only thing that disapoints me is that havent been able to stop the gold spammers. They knew it would happen. They all the months in CB and OB to set up and test a system that could prevent it.

There are no gold spammers in Guild Wars anymore, they found a way to block the ip's. In Star Wars Galaxies trial accounts are only allowed to type 400 letters every 15 min in public chat. Some say that some add-ons can make the spamming go away, but why cant the RoM developers implement code that can do the same ?

I have high hopes of guild wars and arena battle in RoM and I know it can only be a success if the classes are balanced.

Guild Wars and WoW have been balancing for 4 years and not finished. Its a never ending process and so it will also be in RoM.

You better get used to nerfing and buffing on a regular basis.

I played WoW for a month and its not a game for me, for these reasons:
1. I dont like the graphic style. Its too comic for me. I want to feel im living IN the world, and that was not easy with that unserious style. Nothing wrong my graphics card, thank you.

2. I went to new areas with new landscape and mobs, but the quests was still the same kind. So it really didnt feel like a new experience.

3. I didnt get why the fun only did start when you are max level. Why not all the time before that ?

I dont hate WoW. Its just not a game for me, so I dont play it.
What I hate is that some fanboys think that Blizzard invented the MMORPG genre. Like when SWG reintroduced the creature handler, and the fanboys said that they had stolen the idea from WoW. Not knowing that SWG had creature handler long before WoW beta.

(other), The Day. From Reloaded Studios

my second choice would be Guild Wars 2.

khameleon, I think you skipped reading this part:

"Kerensky: Runes of Magic is _based on_ Radiant Arcana. After Frogster and RuneWaker met for the first time and talked about the US and European player community, we decided to do something like a "spin-off" and develop a second "western" version of the game. Radiant Arcana is targetted at the asian players and one is Runes of Magic for all western players."

I agree with the OP

Almost the same here: Guild Wars, Archlord, Atlantica, Perfect World.

You can be max 3 players in a party. You also get more xp if you are in a group. You dont need to be near eachother to get the xp bonus.

Like I said, not the best just the most popular.

the screenshots dont make this game look interesting to me.
If I remember correctly then Star Gate World is also using Unreal Engine 3 and will be released much sooner than Otherland.
"The day" also scheduled for 2010 release is based on CryEngine2 that i think is better than Unreal Engine 3.

I like to bitching and save the $7

I had 5 hours waiting and the download didnt start. Next time the waiting time was 10 hours. I think that is ridiculous.
And why only US-servers for non-subscribers ?
It all gives fileplanet and the companies that only use fileplanet a bad name.

The Warhammer cinematic was far better than this, and Im even not a fan of Warhammer.

If you chose a name that is already used, the warning message can be a bit small to see. I suggest you try use a name that is most likely not used by anyone else.

I miss the house I had in Star Wars Galaxies. It add so much to the community feeling. One of the reason why i look forward to Runes of Magic.

I played SWG pre NGE and post NGE. I only play now when they offer free time and mainly for nostalgic reason.
Both "games" are outdated specially the graphics and think even many free to play mmo's are far better.

Can europeans play the North America version ?

Maybe also take a look at Runes of Magic. http://www.runesofmagic.com

From the feature list:

1. Free2play: no monthly fees, free download
2. Epic crafting system with the chance to improve existing items
3. Housing from the beginning: personalization of houses through
   individual furnishing

I have signed up for the beta, but have not been chosen yet.

the feature list looks good, but graphic looks a bit old.

"The original Guild Wars will continue to be supported after release of Guild Wars 2. This will include continued holiday events and tournaments."
