Poll: Favorite Up and Coming MMO / One you're most likely to play

[Unahim]

Actually a -lot- of companies step into the MMO world with all new ideas, but they all fail.

Look up Darkfall and Mortal Online if you have time, completely different kind of MMO, but small following.

DDO is, likewise, very different from anything else out there, and since it went F2P the game has really shaped up, but it is, again, not -that- popular (although I hear it's still a huge commercial success.)

For me I'd say it's a three way tie
Dust 514 vs Planetside 2 vs Tribes Universe

GW2, and only GW2. A company formed by Blizzard devs that didn't want to work on WoW? Yes, please!
I really hope Kormir makes a return in the second game. That was way too big of a plot point in Nightfall for her to be gone in GW2.

I had absolutely no idea that AreaNet had Blizz devs in it. That explains a lot of the awesomeness actually. New Blizz is just a sellout company.

And Shiny Koi: I absolutely agree.

I would have said TOR, but it's looking like too much of a hassle to get it. So I'll swing with Guild Wars 2.

 

[Ilikemilkshake]

GW 2
closely followed by ToR

i have no real interest in any other mmo's

Apparently they're already out of PREORDERS.

As much as I love Star Wars and Bioware, I can't help but think this is going to wiggle it's way into the heads of those in charge.

LET THE FANBASE MILKING COMMENSE!!


I'm actually a little surprised to see Rift falling short, considering that everyone I knew and their cat was calling Rift the greatest thing they've ever played up until a few days ago, when one of my friends got bored of it.

Not too keen on many MMOs but The Old Republic is looking great.

 

[Arluza]

guild wars 2 is the only up and comnig if I understand the definition of up and coming correctly. I'm currently play Aika online and Prius online.

 

[BGH122]

I'm still playing City of Heroes.

Stick Transformers MMO on the list to make it more complete (yep, that's actually coming out; I saw a lot of job listings for it).

Guild Wars 2, stopped playing World of Warcraft about two months ago just because of seeing information about Guild Wars 2. It looks like they are changing up the formula just enough to make it interesting while sticking to the basic gameplay that I enjoyed from WoW. But I'll have to actually play it before I can determine if it is a better game. I am 99% sure it will be though. Never played Guild Wars either.

 

[Stammer]

The Old Republic has a lot of potential, but as of right now I'm not super enthusiastic for it. It looks a lot like WoW in terms of... lots of things. And BioWare isn't as impeccable as a lot of people give them credit for.

Nah, what I'm looking forward to is Guild Wars 2. I didn't care much for the original, but this one looks awesome. Between the fact that it's free to play and the fact that it's actually trying something completely unique, I'm excited.

Not totally ruling-out The Old Republic, but I definitely have more enthusiasm towards Guild Wars 2.

 

[infohippie]

Guild Wars 2 does look interesting, I'll probably pick that up at some point, but what I'm really looking forward to is The Secret World. If it's done well, that could be amazing, plus it's free-to-play.

 

[D-Pad]

Added that Transformers MMO to the list. There's an article on he Escapist about it, so apparently it's legit.

I think it's going to bomb though.

WoW is in it's slow decline. You can feel it when you log in. Everything is being rehashed, it's getting repetitive and tedious (even for an MMO!), and everything just feels like it's been done before. I log in every few days and just ask myself... why am I still playing this game? It's really depressing because I want so badly for it to be fun again, like it was in vanilla, BC, and the last few months of WotLK. It just isn't though. I'm not sure if it's the fault of the designers getting complacent, or if I've just grown tired of the game in general. I do however, know that I am not alone in these feelings regarding WoW. Many of my friends feel the same way.

So my next MMO will be SWTOR. The story elements sound awesome, the raids with individual loot containers sound awesome, and the classes all seem fairly unique and interesting. We'll see if it lives up to the hype, but so far it looks great.

This. WoW has been dying for me, and whenever I log in it's just dull. Then I get disconnected (because my computer sucks) and I become sad and stop playing. Might pick up SWTOR, though I'm not sure how much I like my group members being able to make story choices for me. Probably will pick up GW2 because I have the first one and enjoyed that.

I voted for GW2

Ive started to dislike ToR over the many....blandish videos Ive seen

Yeah I get it Alpha Beta Gamma release....it still looks badish and clunky.


Also its KotOR w/ more assholes and more interuptions

WTB BLUE LIGHTSABER CRYSTAL 10k credits pst plox

X is overpowered
Y is underpowered
WoW w/ Jedi

 

[Shakomaru]

Although I am helping out with it, so that makes it more fun even though it's still in progress...
