Post MMO depression
Isn't there ANYTHING coming out that looks at least half decent... heck if someone would just spend half a week throwing up SB again I'd play that.
I just want some nice territorial control fantasy PvP game, is that to much to ask? Tried EvE for about a year but the pacing was too slow and that did it for me eventually.
Lost and depressed, where are the good MMOs at?

It's some way off, but check out Dawntide.
Isnt darkfall the only one that matches that description?
If you stand VERY still, and close your eyes, after a minute you can actually FEEL the universe revolving around PvP.
OP is suffering from burn out. Either that, or he's outgrown the genre. Why not take a break for six months to a year. Try some RL things. Find a new hobby?
Burn out is nature's way of getting us to try new things.

wow, deja vu. or some elite copy-pasting skills =P

There's also Lineage 2, but it's kinda dead.
Aye. Seems Uquipu has the same answer for every issue.
Doesnt that mean that, in the future, we will take him slightly less seriously?

Perhaps even more than slightly.
Global Agenda and Earthrise don't look good to you?!
I thought the OP was going to talk about the feeling you get when you quit an MMO that you used to enjoy. Feeling listless, like you've lost a small piece of your being. I get that feeling when I beat a really good single player game with a strong story too. I want to know what happens next, even if the story is over, because I've grown attached to the characters.
I digress. I don't think I've "burnt out" but I'm not really looking forward to anything. Nothing really has the features I'm looking for. Mortal Online I suppose, but after being let down by Darkfall, I'm not going to get my hopes up. Ever since I quit UO in 2001, I've always had an MMO to look forward to. Since I got into Darkfall beta and found out it wasn't, and probably never will be, quite what I'm looking for, I found myself for the first time in my MMO career with nothing to look forward to.
It's an odd feeling.
I've been playing MMOs since Meridian 59 back in the mid 90's. And I too am finding there just isn't anything out there right now that keeps my interest. Heck, I even went back to EQ, did the $20 for all of the expansions up to Underfoot and got 30 days free with it, but honestly, I just can't take the graphics or bleh combat.
Aion was the latest disappointment in a string of bad MMO releases. I can deal with the grind and got to max level pretty quickly, but found soon that the game just lacks... anything. PvP is harder to find than they let on, PvE is just a mindless grind and crafting is ridiculously expensive and boring. Not to mention the bots and RMTers run rampid even after all of the bans.
WAR was only fun in the beginning and with all of the changes to it lately, it seems to dead to bother checking out again. Of course, you can do their unlimited free play for only T1, but really, how long will that keep you entertained? The rest of the tiers are pointless.
AoC had so many issues from the beginning, even the character customization was dull after creating a few toons. And beyond the beginning area of Tortage (I think that's what it was called), the game just fell flat. Raids were easily beaten once you figured them out and offered nothing more than headaches if you were organizing raids. Oh, and the PvP? Yeah, yawn-fest.
EQII is ok, but it's in that "been there done that" catagory and I just can't see doing it again. I love the crafting in the game and the gameplay is ok, just don't like the "stupid" script encounters on raids.
WoW was fun, but for me BC ruined it. I just can't say if I could really stomach going back to that game again. When I upgraded my Rogue's Lobotamizer with a green the first day going back, I almost cried. And then the faction grinds for the crafting on top of the dailies grind drove me right out of the game. And let's not forget, with all of the add-ons, the game practically plays for you now.
DAoC, man that was a great game, but after going back to it again a few years ago, it just didn't have to same feel to it. The whole insta-level to 30 thing really ruined that game.
FFXI as an American player, from the beginning, we were at a disadvantage, not saying we should always be number one, but it was really disappointing trying to level up and fit in with the Asian players who already held us in disgust. I think I still have my cheat sheet here somewhere so I could communicate with my Asian groupmates, at least with simple things: Thanks, good job, have a nice day, etc
AO is free to play for the basic version, but really, why bother if you can't access what the majority are? And do I really want to pay for that game again? Spaceships, implants and total freedom on outfits was cool, but not really enough for me personally.
Saga of Ryzom, really liked the changing world where seasons and weather effected mobs and harvests. The game was just so limited, I mean, what beautiful water, but I can't swim down to check out those coral reefs? *sigh*
So, in summary, I feel the post MMO depression. It's the holidays and I'm sitting here with the family stuff done and bored to death. All of the games I look at just don't grab my attention or give me any feelings of "cool".
Edit: Downloaded Fallen Earth's trial and have been enjoying it. Takes a bit of getting used to, but still enjoyable.
