Nothing really. GW2 was my 2nd and last MMO purchase I intended to make. I'm gonna be hunkering down for living on my own soon, so I gotta reduce spending to the best of my ability.
GW2 was just an impulse buy for many, thanks largely to the hype train. It temporarily filled the void, but it's very shallow, and offers no real longevity, outside of new world events here and there. It's anti-social and lacks many features of real MMORPGS, relating to interaction and progression. Hence no reason to "want" to log on today, or tomorrow.
OP: As others have said, ArcheAge and EQNext. Maybe The Repopulation too.
I want a world I care about, that becomes immersive. Not just a short-term time killer like so many MMORPG's these days. I guess after the disaster of SWTOR & GW2, I'm more savvy and scrutinizing when it comes to consumer purchases. SWTOR made me never want to preorder a game again - so far it worked. GW2 makes me never want to buy another game tied to EZ mode casuals. I think that will work too.
I'm still on the fence about GW2, might buy in October or November when I'll have more free time. Looking forward to more news about "Titan" and EQNext mostly. I can't say I know enough about AA to be interested.
After witnessing the direction Activision-Blizzard is going with WoW the past few years, along with how D3 turned out compared to D2, I'd say I'm no longer impressed. Blizzard used to be an amazing company; the Activision merger killed them, in my eyes.
So I'm not looking forward to Titan. I'm curious, but I'm keeping my expectations low. Very low.
If im being honest with myself, im most looking forward to PSO2: a cash shop action lobby grinder with instanced housing. So much for the sandbox posterchild lol. What can i say? I am, and forever will be, a sega fanatic to the core of my soul.
Looking forward to Darkfall: Unholy Wars. If all goes as planned, I'll be playing in less than two weeks. If all goes as I expect, I'll hopefully get an hour or two in before the end of the world.
Also, I'm intrigued at the whole EQ:Next thing. Keeping an eye on it. Figuratively, of course. 'Cause I can't realy take my eyes out without effort.
Age of Wushu and FFXIV 2.0. TESO in the long term.
I also have a curious interest in Greed Monger.
If in 1982 we played with the current mentality, we would have burned down all the pac man games since the red ghost was clearly OP. Instead we just got better at the game.
Nothing special, there are several games I'm watching, but I'm still having good fun in my actual game, so no hurry.
I still wish some new MMO would come out soon, so the trolls leave the GW2 forum to go bash that new game.
I am really not seeing any GW2 bashing. If nothing else, it is being treated more fairly than any other MMO this soon after launch. Most people have the same comments..."It's a good game, but it is missing something". I wouldn't consider that bashing.
I personally think GW2 is lacking that MMO feel, but I think it is a good game with a lot of potential.
I'm not looking forward to any upcoming MMO's, i doubt i'll even try many if any at their launches. I had been looking forward to Planetside 2 but after now having tried the beta i'll be avoiding it for a good while after launch, it's in a terrible state and needs much longer than a few weeks until release. The past few years have really dampened my excitement for new MMO's.

Want a nice understanding of life? Try Spirit Science: "The Human History"

Recognize the voice? Yep sounds like Penny Arcade's Extra Credits.

Waiting for the ever elusive AAA sandbox~
last 3 mmo's have been theme's, i want sand for a change. maybe a permanent one.
The Deep Web is sca-ry.
1) I want to know what Titan is about.
2) I am looking forward to any improvments ANET plans on making to GW2.
3) Looking forward to leveling some alts in SWTOR for free - hopefully the experience is good
4) Interested in TSW going F2P or B2P so I can try it out
Other than those four, there's not much interesting going on in MMOs these days.
Planetside 2 mostly. I'm excited how it develops over the next few years.
Elder Scrolls Online? EQ2Next? I don't know....I will beta test them but not exactly looking forward to them at this point.
Not sure to be honest, maybe WoD, Archeage or Lineage Eternal.
Gave Planetside 2 a try this weekend, but I didn't like the feel of it. I'm quite picky when it comes to fps games.
Still playing GW2 a bit and hope they will bring some nice expansions in the future.
"If I had a d*ck, I'd go get laid. But we can do that next best thing... Let's kill people."
Realy want to know what Titan is, by now it seriusly just hurts not knowing
Planetside 2, just wish there was no cash shop , use way to much cash on that kind of bull
Nothing special, there are several games I'm watching, but I'm still having good fun in my actual game, so no hurry.

Ultima Online 2... Oh, not an option? Okay, well in that case.. I guess I'll have to settle for:
Star Citizen
Elder Scrolls Online
Everquest Next
Until then, I guess I'll check out Darkfall.
Otherland
ArcheAge
Dragon's Prophet

I am however looking forward to :

Elite: Dangerous
GTA V (if it releases on PC)
