Don't know much about the gameplay, but I recently saw some screenshots of it. Holy crap, does that game look good! Very interesting way that they went with the outfits and characters. I might take a little more of a peek as that game comes out.
I've also been keeping an eye open for Fallen Earth. I've always been a sucker for post-apocalyptic scenarios. Character models aren't perfect, but there looks to be a lot of unique style in it. Plus, there needs to be more skill based games, anyway.
Seriously. It's Are'el. This forum doesn't allow apostrophes in usernames.
I think 2007 is going to be a watershed year for the MMORPG genre. There are lots of games out there that are trying to be truly innovating and it will be interesting to see which ones manage to cut into the huge market that Blizzard has managed to open. These will be the games that really drive MMORPGs forward.
So far the year hasn't had a great start with Vanguard. Maybe Sigil can pull the game out the hole that they've dug but a successful game shouldn't need to do that in the first place.
I'm still expectant with the other titles coming up. It will be a very interesting year.

Yeah yeah I know about AOC but I have yet to SEE anything spectacular.
They have good screen shots, one shitty video and a whole lot of TALK.
I have to agree that Funcom really hasn't been releasing much besides text about their game. The concepts sound interesting but the recent articles and previews where people actually played the game all talk about the same stuff that was back at E3. They need to start giving gamers more solid stuff like more videos and letting the press play the innovative stuff like the Guild PvP.
