it was a toss up for me. there was alot of games i want to try on that list so i cant really pick one but since i had to i picked darkfall. it looks and sounds really fun so im def. trying it out. i also wanna play aion and see what thats like. those are the two best games imo
Ahh yes....we must keep out eyes on this one for sure. With all that the CCP team has learned through the years, not only as Devs but also as Player themselves, this title could be a huge success. Lots of Players like PvP and lots of Players like dark and sinister game worlds (whether the admit it or not).
What will be "best" is tricky, as it's a matter of opinion. I think SW:TOR will end up with the most people thinking it's the best though (i.e. most subscribers). Darkfall is a good outsider.
Hands down Star Wars: The Old Republic. Its by far the biggest game announcemnt of 2008. I seriously think Bioware and LucasArts have a chance to pwn the whole MMO genre.
When we get back from where we are going, we will return to where we were. I know people there!
I'm hoping that Earthrise will be one of the best, biggest reason for that would be that it's not lvl based and that they are going for player run economy like EVE and the extensive crafting system where the players create the best gear possible in the game and ofcourse that it's going to be sci-fi.
But from the ones on that list i would problably say Aion.

Honestly..I don't see much hope for any of them. Possibly the star wars one, but I'm guessing the hype will kill it well before it releases. It will never live up to people's pipe dreams.

Duh?
Oh can play you with thousands of people at the same in D3?... fail.
You can't in Guild Wars either, but that's still listed as an MMORPG here. Though to be fair, even Guild Wars devs have stated explicitly that it is not an MMORPG. Its listing here is an error. But if we're going to continue with this error we might as well add games like Diablo 3 as well.
GW being listed here is not an error. It was not originally listed..but the members of this site demanded it. Just thought I'd clear that up if no one else had yet.
From the list, it's Star Wars, but ones to keep an eye out are, 38 studios with Coppernicus, Red5 with their mistery piece, Guild Wars 2 and of course, the one that will cast a giant shadow over all of them; Blizzard next MMO (thank heavens it's still years and years away so we can jump into few diferent expiriences untill MMO space as we know it changes, again)
interesting that not one person said Huxley. Though technically it's not a mmoRPG is it? I'm not sure. I'm not saying it will be big just interesting that everything is so very quiet about it.
I guess you should include atlantica online, even though the game is at is late development stages the game continues to undergo add-ons in terms of new maps and characters. I can see that the large percentage in your poll voted on Others. This maybe one of the reason why.

INFINITY: The quest for Earth

Earthrise

Other, Citadel of Sorcery

Aion, from that list...otherwise Rapture from Square-Enix and possibly Ragnarok 2, but it doesn't look like its come to NA anytime soon
hoorah
(other), The Day. From Reloaded Studios
my second choice would be Guild Wars 2.
Darkfall
Darkfall Travelogues!
Seems to be kicking ass in the poll. Clearly the community doesn't know about it and it is a joke right.

I have high hopes for Bioware's Star Wars MMO.
And let's face it, we don't know what it is but I'm sure everyone is wondering what Blizzard has under development...
aion gonna be the best of this gen mmo.
huxley dont suit to be in this category since it is FPS Shooter core.
blade and soul gonna be the best next gen mmo.
I am watching Darkfall, Infinity quest for earth, and Aion. But infinity is looking AMAZING for a very small independent team.
Darkfall Online.
lol, where's earthrise??
voted other. mortal online is my game of choice.
Honestly..I don't see much hope for any of them. Possibly the star wars one, but I'm guessing the hype will kill it well before it releases. It will never live up to people's pipe dreams.
Maybe the one CCP is doing...the whitewolf IP.
Dunno though.

I chose other. Althought it's not technically a new mmo under development. The best mmo will be DAoC's Origins server, if they ever make it
