The only title I'm actually looking forward to is CCP/White wolf's World Of Darkness.
This it sounds interesting and I'd like to see what ccp can do to a fantasy mmo.
Also KOTOR, loved the other games wouldn't mind giving it a go if it's decent.
But the main one I am looking forward to is DUST 514. Won't be my main mmo but I need somehting I can just jump into and out of, used to be dota but I gotta majorly sick of dota and aint gonig back.
A sequel to Asheron's Call is all I want. I don't even care if its Asheron's Call 2, re-released. I just want a game in that WORLD with those characters and lore. It was immersion to the tenth degree and no game, for me, has even come close to immersing me in that way. My guess is, I'll be waiting a very long time, if not, forever. Until then, I'll enjoy Age of Conan and Darkfall, which I currently have 1-year subs to each.
These are the games on my MMO radar, in no particular order. Some are well into development; some are just starting out. Some are well funded; others not so much. Some are well known; others are in black ops super secret mode. Most will likely fail; a handful should be successful, I hope! Also, I'm ... just not into Asian games at all... with the exception of FF; gonna give that a shot.
Games / Studios I Have Hope For:
Star Wars: The Old Republic, Bioware
Final Fantasy XIV, Square Enix
Project V:13 (Fallout), Interplay
Guild Wars 2, Arenanet
The Secret World, Funcom
Unknown Title, Blizzard Entertainment
Earthrise, Masthead Studios
APB, Realtime Worlds
White Wolf / World of Darkness, CCP
Wheel of Time, Red Eagle Games
Project Copernicus, 38 Studios
Heroes of Telara, Trion World Network
Lego Universe, Netdevil
Unknown Title (Elder Scrolls?), ZeniMax Online Studios
My most anticipated MMO's are only 3 that I have high hopes for and are getting me EXTREMELY excited.
1. World of Darkness Online- I have high hopes that CCP will deliver a nice sandbox for this IP. That is the ONLY way it'll work is to be sandbox.. this game CANNOT be a WoW clone.
2. Star Wars: The Old Republic -I think this one speaks for itself on what it's already showing, so we'll have to wait and see if it all comes together.
3. Fallout MMO. (Tentative title) - I have no clue what they're planning with this, but if any luck I'm hoping they DON'T make it like Fallout 3....
I'm waiting for that not yet announced Bethesda MMORPG that probably will be named Elder Scrolls Online but with Bethesda's track record I fear that it will be buggy as hell.
All those memories will be lost in time, like tears in the rain.
Currently right now given the information about all the MMO's out there, I would say the most anticipated games I'm looking forward to is Earthrise and FFIV.
Earthrise utilizes that post-apocalyptic setting that has started to emerge within this market and I predict its going to have an amount of depth similar to EVE Online in terms of crafting/combat etc.
FFIV looks like its utilizing a different approach with the Armory system for a unique character development/customization experience and the Guildleves (is that what its called?) system which would allow players/groups to utilize different difficulties based on the amount of players (I believe its amount of players). I figure more and more games should start looking into ways to scaling difficulties as to not limit everyone's experience based on the amount of players they can put together.
i was looking forward to the eq2 sof expansion but when i heard that soe booted the new starting area idea ,i was literally dumped by soe lol.since this was the main feature that made me finally hop in eq2.
I want to play my copy of Fallen Earth I won from here with that EVGA GTX 260 once I get the rest of my parts for my massive computer overhaul (had to RMA TWO ASUS M4A78-E MOBO's in a row for being DOA *no post issues* from Newegg, been trying to upgrade my computer since December... grr)
For future games I'm looking forward to FFXIV...
"There is only one thing of which I am certain, and that's nothing is certain."
I no longer have one, there's been too many disappointments over the last couple of years so I'm just going to see what appears and give it a try. I doubt there will be anything in the near future for a significant amount of time, they just don't make MMOs that can hold my interest anymore.
I'll just quote mdb since I was going to type pretty much the same thing.
Quoted again for truth. Maybe my standards are too high for the current MMO market, but so long as they keep churning out cheesy WoW clones, I'm just not interested anymore. I've tried too many and been severely disappointed that I'm not holding out much hope of them *EVER* making a good MMO again. I'm fine with it too.

That's it I think probably I forgot 1 or 2 games but pretty much a big list already.
Im looking for the next MMO to not copy anything from WoW.
My most anticipated MMO's are only 3 that I have high hopes for and are getting me EXTREMELY excited.
1. World of Darkness Online - I have high hopes that CCP will deliver a nice sandbox for this IP. That is the ONLY way it'll work is to be sandbox.. this game CANNOT be a WoW clone.

3. Fallout MMO. (Tentative title) - I have no clue what they're planning with this, but if any luck I'm hoping they DON'T make it like Fallout 3....
Currently playing:
WoW still..... desparately awaiting something new.
Darkfall - so far so good.
Already tried:
Aion, AoC, WAR, LOTRO, EVE, CoH/CoV, CO, FFXI, Matrix (lol), SWG POST CU (*sigh*), D&D (very shortlived attempt at this one)
I'm waiting for that not yet announced Bethesda MMORPG that probably will be named Elder Scrolls Online but with Bethesda's track record I fear that it will be buggy as hell.

Warhammer 40k online
Nothing really.. first time in a long time. Can't tell if i'm giving up on them or just accepting none will be perfect for what i want.
i was looking forward to the eq2 sof expansion but when i heard that soe booted the new starting area idea ,i was literally dumped by soe lol.since this was the main feature that made me finally hop in eq2.
I want to play my copy of Fallen Earth I won from here with that EVGA GTX 260 once I get the rest of my parts for my massive computer overhaul (had to RMA TWO ASUS M4A78-E MOBO's in a row for being DOA *no post issues* from Newegg, been trying to upgrade my computer since December... grr)
For future games I'm looking forward to FFXIV...
"There is only one thing of which I am certain, and that's nothing is certain."
I have a few I am looking forward to and some I am definitely keeping my eye on.
Star Wars: ToR
The Secret World
The unknown MMO from Blizzard
The unknown MMO from Stray Bullets (I loved playing Shadowbane!!!)
***Allthough it is not really an MMO, definitely DIablo3 probably more then anything else.
DC Universe (maybe)...
Which Final Fantasy Character Are You?
Final Fantasy 7
For me its Copernicus and then the new White Wolf MMO that several people have mentioned
And after that the Elder Scrolls MMO
"after the time of dice came the day of mice "
FFXIV and SWTOR, in that order. and nothing else.
I would want nothing more than to be playing both games for years and years to come.
Guild Wars 2 for me and im keeping an eye on FFXIV too
DCUO and APB - I am hoping theres room for some good rp led pvp in one or both of these titles
Star Wars TOR. - hopefully bioware will make a decent all round experience
Is the World of Darkness mmo still on? (in which case maybe that too)
I'm done with aimless grinds and any kind of fantasy world gibberish.
after seeing their cg and website !i got to say i look forward to GRAND MUNDO!(aka forsaken world)
