I voted Warhammer 40k, since there is nothing fantasy about it. It's sci-fi, and has barely, if at all, started development yet. Impossible to say if it will ever even exist.
Otherwise, I would be tempted to say Vanguard. Can't say for sure though, as I personally have no experience with it. Opinion is just based on amount of negative versus positive feedback on it I've seen so far.
What an intresting poll, and even more so is the fact that at the current count of votes not one person has voted against DAoC it just says somthing about Mythic and its time developing that MMO, prehaps in five or ten years time WAR may even acoumplish a task of its forbaear.
I've heard nothing BUT negative things so far about Vanguard, aside from an old friend I ran into by chance today who told me he enjoys it. Even he stated that he doubts Vanguard will be a strong game overall, with how many players currently in game complain about it's flaws.
DAoC isn't going anywhere, no matter what other projects Mythic endeavors in. Horizons failed miserably, but you can't say DAoC will ever do anything of the sort. It's been around a long time now, and still carrys a very strong player base.
im voting for DAOC, honistly to this day my favority mmo iv ever played, but the numbers are droping slowly and the only reason why some people are sticking around is because really there are no other good RVR/PVP games out there.
with that said i have a feeling no one except for the top 10 RR ppl on each server will stay in daoc after WAR just to protect there ranking for ever.
DAOC is a very good game but warhammer will be newer and will have everything daoc had to offer but more so theres no reason to really stay.
East Carolina University, Computer Science BS, 2011 -------------------- Current game: DAOC
Games played and quit: L2, PlanetSide, RF Online, GuildWars, SWG, COH/COV, Vanguard, LOTRO, WoW, WW2 Online, FFXI, Auto-Assault, EVE Online, ShadowBane, RYL, Rappelz, Last Chaos, Myst Online, POTBS, EQ2, Warhammer Online, AoC, Aion, Champions Online, Star Trek Online, Allods, Darkfall.
It was a tough call between DAOC, and VG. But in the end DAOC 'won' my vote. Sure DAOC was a good game, but it is getting on now, and with Mythic doing WAR now, I can see less time being used for DAOC. I can also see the majority of DAOC players moving on to WAR when it comes out...
But who knows? If Sigil continue taking their sweet time with VG, then it might die first!

Well, if WAR will be a big disappointment (like VG) I think that ppl will go to Daoc. I guess WAR won't be disappointing tho. If Mythic does so that you can pay both games for the same price (like 20$/month) then I guess it won't die right away. VG got my vote just because it has been months from its release and nothing dramatical has changed since the release of it.

I voted Vanguard. Seems like on of the "weakest" big titles out there atm.
But since I havent played it I wouldnt really know how good/bad it reallly is. IMO it just seems like the a game that will be forgotten pretty fast.

Im not going to "say" what game I put because I know people who work there.
But what I will say is , the game that I think will die out first will die out because the same people are making a new more updated game with similar aspects in it and will attract the same player base because its a quality game.
Forget about playing warhammer 40k online... who would sign up right now to play a DAOC2. 3 sided realm vs realm game, with all clasess reballanced (they have 5 years of knowing what works and not works) use similar zone layouts but upgrade and enrich everything inside of it. Id pay and play that for 10 years!
I voted for DAoC. It was my favorite game back in the day. It's definitely one of the oldest on your list though. If you look at the subscriber count you can tell it's on its way out.
I think DAOC will drop but not the rating. Mythic did a awesome job in RVR / PVP in that game and see things they wanted to do in DAOC appearing in WAR.
Alot of player i know from wow are dropping their accounts for War.
I said DAOC.Why...Mythic is replacing it with WAR...curent subscriber base is continuing to fade....AOC will take some subscribers..... the same Mythic management that drove DAOC into the ground is still there.
I'm surprised to see so many people mention DAoC... since I resubscribed, I have been seeing a steady influx of people doing the same thing. I certainly don't expect it to last forever, but I would be surprised if it fails first from that list.
Just my humble opinion based on current experience
