Just pre-ordered now:
1. Archeage released 1.0 which basically pushed the game closer to themepark and boosted their cash p2w show and sold out their player base to make a quick buck
2. There aren't any other AAA mmo's in 2014. If this busts after 6 months big deal, Everquest, Camelot Unchained won't be out for a loonnng time 2015/2016.
3. RvR looks to be huge landwise, lets just hope its not a 5 minute keep flipping circle jerk like gw2 wvwvw where every server rotates each others tires ad naseum
4. Combat is nothing like GW2 thank you very much
5. Very easy to get immersed in this game
So fingers crossed that the 1-2 month euphoria we all feel won't fade away like it did with GW2 & FFXIV & every other AAA mmo that's come out the past 5 years
ESO lore is epic so as long as I feel like i'm in an ESO game and not GW2, Tera, Wildstar, WoW, or any themepark with fotm themes i'll stick around and pay the sub.
BUT PLEASE NO ARENAS OR BGS!!!!! You know how games start out cool, but then sell out (cough cough Archeage). Please ESO don't sell out to the FPS shooter crowd and give arenas and bgs where players whack each other with sticks for points!!!
Keep the action funneled into RvR and/or the DF like dungeon (soon to be released I hope)

I disagree with you on point 2, there is another AAA+ MMO comming this year, its wildstar.
Now people disliking or not knowing the games does not mean its not an AAA+ game... It will really apeal a lot to the Gogogo clickerthe click i cant read quests crowd. But i can tell you, that group of players will devour WIldstars content... push directly for their raid content and have fun...
Best MMO experiences : EQ(PvE), DAoC(PvP), WoW(total package) LOTRO (worldfeel) GW2 (Artstyle and animations and worlddesign) SWTOR (Story immersion) TSW (story) ESO (character advancement)
And that's the thing... I never played ES games, so as a person having completely objective approach, I don't see anything that would want me to play it more, than any other title you mentioned. It is even harder to explain it to people so passionate about the series... it is something more powerful than just fanboism... if it was Fallout mmo, I would be the one, that would like the game no matter how it actually was and try to explain to myself how great it is, despite it being plain.
Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.
The Force shall free me.
I'm not sure you know what AAA means..
Isn't Wildstar pretty much a WoW clone? That's the impression I got. Which means the game will inevitably bleed subs once WoW comes out with their next expansion.
Well I would consider Wildstar a MMOFPS so that's why I didn't put it in my consideration. But I should have said MMORPG instead of just "mmo" like I wrote. My bad. But it is one cool looking cartoon that I might try if I was still in elementary school.
No Wildstar is nothing like a full WoW clone... but its aiminh to pull people that previously loved WoW, as its build on the same mindset but with different mechanics under the hood, so it might actually feel kinda fresh to the former WoW crowd..

I also preordered ESO, even after disliking it in the betas i have been in. Simply due to the lack of alternatives and the great looking pvp. (That and i finally found a game that my GF wants to play as well, so we can finally play together again haha)
I don't see Wildstar as a AAA game tho, not by a longshot. Nothing i saw in Videos, Beta, Reviews made me think this is an expensive and huge game. The artstyle is aimed at very young players. Most i saw resembeled disney movies and according to current data (that i fail to find now, not really that important anyways) MMO player are over 80% made of adults in their 30s-40s.
Apart from the obvious cheap grafic the game offers nothing that has not been done. More importantly: All it copys is done worse then it has been done before.
Hard to call that a AAA game. IF so, then it is only the pricetag and maybe the production costs (no idea how high they are), but certainly not the quality.
MMOs finally replaced social interaction, forced grouping and standing in a line while talking to eachother.
Now we have forced soloing, forced questing and everyone is the hero, without ever having to talk to anyone else. The evolution of multiplayer is here! We won,... right?
WHO SAY TRION WILL GO WITH UPDATE 1.0?? we still nothing know about archeage NA/EU
i playing russian archeage and i love
Don't worry most people who use the term don't really know what it means. Basically to most people a triple A game is one which was designed by a well funded developer with prior experience in making games and the game matches the particular taste of the poster, This is generally how most posters seem to merit it and the third option is usually the biggest factor.
"Triple A (AAA)A high-budget game with a large development team, or game studios that make them. Triple A games are usually multiplatform, have multimillion dollar marketing budgets, and plan to sell over one million copiesTriple A (AAA)A high-budget game with a large development team, or game studios that make them. Triple A games are usually multiplatform, have multimillion dollar marketing budgets, and plan to sell over one million copies" Wiki-quote
Well it will fade away since the game is a generic MMO with TES skins and models. Yo uwill see once it is released. I would rather play GW2 than this one since it has more content and no monthly sub.
But i stick to Darkfall or Mortal Online which offer open world freedom, something that AAA MMO's dont have
Wildstar has no FPS mode I don't know what you are talking about OP.
And Idk what's wrong about Gw2 for you. Yesterday I sunk 10 hours in it, had some free time. Are you one of the folks that still thinks Gw2 has no LFG tool? Or one of those that think you have to pay real money for bag space. xD
Wildstar??? A FPS??? I'm not sure you know what a FPS is. Have you even played it? Wildstar is mostly traditional tab target combat with actiony type features. It most certainly is NOT a FPS. Planetside 2 is an mmofps. Global Agenda is an mmofps. Wildstar is not.
Is a man not entitled to the herp of his derp?
Remember, I live in a world where juggalos and yugioh players are real things.
Lol! Does that come with an oil change?
Yeah, the idea of rotating servers in their version of RvR never quite worked for me. Sure, there's the benefit of matching up the best with the best and the worst with the worst, but it completely destroys immersion and turns the damn thing into a sport rather than a War. Sports have their place, but not in an RPG fantasy game and especially not in an RvR War. There's no sense of pride in ownership of Keeps, etc. since everything just resets every 2 weeks or so.
There's other problems with GW2's version of RvR such as the lack of any real death penalty and the resulting 10 hour zerg "dance" fests, but that's beyond the scope of this thread.
2. ESO and wildstar, the division, everquest next, destiny....
yea right, no other AAA releases, lol
"I'll never grow up, never grow up, never grow up! Not me!"
Wildstar is not a tab targeting (as in auto lock and homing skills/ability's) game ... there are a few auto lock skills (and you can highlight enemy's with tab) but in the majority, all your ability's are aimed.
But you are right that it's not a FPS, the word means "First Person Shooter" and Wildstar already fucks up on the "first person" part, you could play the game in first person mode but that would be highly ineffective.
I am playing the beta of wild star and all I can say is,get a cheap ps3 and buy destiny.
every one has their own taste but my plan is ESO then destiny on my old ps3 and EQN next year.
wild star only if nothing releases in the next 2 years and that is not going to happen.
Destiny - announced only for consoles, doesn't count.
EQN won't be released this year.
The Division won't be released this year (http://www.gamespot.com/articles/the-division-s-2014-release-window-is-laughable-claims-ubisoft-source-report/1100-6416976/)
So, only ESO and Wildstar?
Anyone in this thread that calls Wildstar a MMOFPS or NOT a AAA title, is basically disqualifying their opinion.
First off, for the extremely ignorant one. FPS = First Person Shooter. What on earth about WildStar says FIRST. PERSON. SHOOTER? You aim abilities, yes. And that's all it takes to be called a FPS? Is GW2 a FPS? I aim abilities in League of Legends - so that's a FPS too? Come on...
Second, WildStar is EASILY a AAA title. If you actually take the time to research the features coming to this game (that are actually usable in beta as well), then you would know this. Just because it isn't SONY or Blizzard doesn't mean it ain't AAA.
It's a fairly safe bet. Most EU/US conversions of Korean MMO's follow the updates of the original Asian game.
They tweak things like PvP settings and such to make it more palatable to its new market, but they don't take a completely different direction from the original game when it comes to the content - I'm not even sure if they can or are even allowed to.
Though they might be able to tune down the grind factor that the article spoke of earlier.
Either way I'll still check it out when it comes out.
My SWTOR referral link for those wanting to give the game a try. (Newbies get a welcome package while returning players get a few account upgrades to help with their preferred status.)

Irony mean anything to you dude?
Also - Sure, I'll be buying ESO too and playing on day one. I've been a full tester for quite some time.
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.
Have you played it? Wildstar has absolutely no tab targeted skills.
