1-HUXLEY-Hands down going to be the best MMO out there if you consider graphics and its a FPs so its going to be interesting
2-Soul of the Ultimate Nation (S.U.N.) Also made by Webzen also (webzen also made huxley) it has awsome graphics, it seems to be a mix between Lineage 2, Soul Calibur 2, and LOTR
3-HUXLEY- LOOKS FREAKING AWSOME
Playing: EVE Online Favorite MMOs: WoW, SWG Pre-cu, Lineage 2, UO, EQ, EVE online Looking forward to: Archeage, Kingdom Under Fire 2 KUF2's Official Website - http://www.kufii.com/ENG/ -
1. tabula rasa 2. vanguard 3. chronicles of spellborn
most of the rest(roma victor,mmocenter games,darkfall) are going to never come out or be so sub par there no reason to play(re:irth, DnL) or they are too far away yet.
Infinity (millions of procedurally-generated worlds to explore)
Unannounced games out of Austin, TX:
Something from BioWare-Austin
Something from Raph Koster
Something from Warren Spector (Junction Point)
Most everything else is generic fantasy combat. *yawn*
Spore, STO, and Infinity seem to be more about exploration, which is a severely underexploited area for MMORPG development. So I'll be watching these three (and the as-yet unannounced three)... right up to the point when they, too, elect to be all about combat and anything else gets turned into a mere combat support function. Then I'll look for something else.
Eine. HUXLEY. (H-Studio) Zwei. S.U.N. Drei. APB (Real Time World). Vier. Offset Powered Top Secret Project Blue Book (Red5 Studio). Funf. Tabula Rasa (Destination Game).
......
Acht. Gone with Monkey Wrench. Neun. Chronicle of Swedish Cheese.
I took the honor of tallying up all the votes to see what the top 10 most anticipated MMOs are. I only count the top 3 votes of each post and I possibly excluded games that aren't even on the list. I awarded 3 points to the first on each list, 2 points for the second, and 1 point for the third on each person's list. Here are the results of the top ten:
Edit: these are the current votes up to my post.
1. Vanguard: Saga of Heroes - 63 points (won by a landslide)
