Currently playing CoH/CoV and Tabula Rasa.......and I'm amazingly bored out of my mind with both atm. Recently cancelled my WoW account and totally removed it from my HD(no regrets...tired of the child-like atmosphere)
I'm really looking forward to AoC and have applied for a beta key(no luck yet), although I'm a bit reluctant to try anything new atm, mainly because many of the MMO's I've tried recently have been HUGE let downs....Vangaurd(SoH), Pirates of the burning Sea and Tabula Rasa being among those.
Ever since the destruction of my favorite MMO (SWG) I've been anxiously waiting for something to fill that void............*crossing my fingers for AoC.
Not really playing much of anything. I run Frozen Throne once in a while to play DOTA but I get so pissed off that I swear never to play it again... until I get bored 2 weeks later and run it again and repeat the cycle. Other then that, I run down to my local arcade and play some Street Fighter 3 Third Strike against the people who spend all their time there and are way better then I am.
No required quests! And if I decide I want to be an assassin-cartographer-dancer-pastry chef who lives only to stalk and kill interior decorators, then that's who I want to be, even if it takes me four years to max all the skills and everyone else thinks I'm freaking nuts. -Madimorga-
playing WoW atm but its become boring over the last few months endgame content is under slow progression, have 5 70s just to pass the time. (just to show how bord i am with it) but to be honest i see why alot of you are waiting for AoC i saw no decient mmorpgs in anyones lists. the ideas brought to the table seem to out weigh any mmo ive seen out at this time.
but mostly im just trying to get away from the kiddies in WoW mostly. im hoping theyre all band by there mommies and daddies. gg on the adult content and mature rating funcom. ill see ya ingame.
I just dug out my old XBox games and started playing them on my new XBox 360. Playing Fable again right now. I really miss games where you can pick and choose what you want to be and being in a world that reacts to you. MMORPGs are so freakin behind the power curb. They are pretty much level grinding games with little to no character customization. Character progression is predetermined, so any chance of being unique is gone.
I'm not naive; I know AoC won't be a whole lot different, but at least they are moving the genre forward if not but only a nudge. Making combat a bit more interactive among other things is enough reason to give the game a chance. But of course I won't do anything until I see an over abundance of good reviews from it.
MMORPG's w/ Max level characters: DAoC, SWG, & WoW
Currently Playing: WAR Preferred Playstyle: Roleplay/adventurous, in a sandbox game.
Army of 2 with my brother atm. I have an EVE account but since I went away for a week recently I can't get back into it, I really can't wait to try out AoC.

I will always love World of Warcraft, but I am so with you on this one, MattNeil! I've had my fill of children in that game. It's time for something adult in MMO's and I think that Funcom has finally done it, making thousands of people very happy in the process.
I was playing WoW for another level 70, but for some odd reason... I just didn't want to play anymore. Simple solution, cancel and delete . Yesterday was a good day since I got into both the AOC open beta, and into the Mythos closed beta at the same time. So, until MAY 1st, i will be playing Mythos (funfun).
Secondly, off topic here, for all those who made it into the AoC beta, what happens if your download stops? Where can I begin again or wherever I left off. I already have my beta key so I'm good there, but just incase my ISP fraps out, let me know. Thanks guys.
Titan Quest IT every now and then with my friends and tried some Assassin's Creed (which was an awful let down). Been MMO-free for some time after Tabula Rasa and PotBS went into Vanguard category.
Just waiting for my AoC's CE to appear into my mailbox so that I can start fully enjoying my new system.

WoW and Vanguard.
JK, I'm playing Donkey Kong and pacman over here, I am just tired of MMO's right now. Maybe Conan will be a breath of fresh air.
What happened to games that were simple and fun.
Why do we play complicated stressful games to achieve the same feeling that "mario" gave us?
We're so weird.
PLAY WURM ONLINE!! www.wurmonline.com
Lord of the Rings Online, Call of Duty 4, and some single player games on PC, Consoles and Handhelds.
Oddly enough, Titan Quest with the Immortal Throne expansion. Pretty fun hack and slasher I would have to admit.
Mabinogi
Just started WoW to pass the time. Waiting for GTA IV on Xbox 360 to play for a month before AoC.
Neverwinter Nights 2, and just recently reinstalled Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.
(Couldn't find a decent MMO atm.)
Army of 2 with my brother atm. I have an EVE account but since I went away for a week recently I can't get back into it, I really can't wait to try out AoC.
Nada. Reading technical guides, running my business and re-landscaping my yard....*sigh* I really need May 17th to get here.
Defence of the Ancients (aka DotA)!
Which is becoming sooo boring now that I think of it! :S Anxiously waiting for AoC.
