TOR, the WAR 40k MMO, whatever Turbine is planning (besides F2P), whatever CCP is planning (including DUST 514), and maybe TERA, though I'm still not that interested in it yet.
I just can't get excited for any game that is a year or two away. Six months is more in my radar now days.
Velika: City of Wheels: Among the mortal races, the humans were the only one that never built cities or great empires; a curse laid upon them by their creator, Gidd, forced them to wander as nomads for twenty centuries...
Not in the immediate future at least. Maybe in a few years after the stamp machine breaks and someone starts making traditionaly crafted mmo’s again. Latest money cow fad needs to pass-away/fail though, and it will.
There have been multiple threads, of late, asking this same thing. My response is still the same....I imagine most others' responses haven't changed either.
The ONLY games I am looking forward to are:
TSW because I am a huge Ragnar Tournquist fan and love the idea of a modern setting and Lovecraftian type / urban lore type story idea. It is the game that I most look forward to.
GW2 because it just sounds like it might have features I can sink my teeth into along with some good innovations...this game gives me a lot of hope.
RIFT: Planes of Telaar because it seems to have some interesting new ideas for community play that sound more functional than what WAR tried to do and graphically...it looks beautiful to me.
WoD (but I doubt that's going to happen ANY time within the next two years) because I have ALWAYS wanted a vampire based MMO
and I have some small amount of curiosity left about The Agency because, like the vampire type thing....being a spy....also appeals to me as someone who enjoys the immersion into an environment far removed from anything I could experience in RL, but I have my doubts about this being much more than CrimeCraft done a bit more slickly. And CrimeCraft was horrid, imo.
The top two listed there....give me the most HOPE.
We need a MMORPG Cataclysm asap, finish the dark age of MMORPGS now!
"Everything you're bitching about is wrong. People don't have the time to invest in corpse runs, impossible zones, or long winded quests. Sometimes, they just want to pop on and play." "Then maybe MMORPGs aren't for you."
Any game that uses the same ol' formula: delivery quests, go kill 5 bunnies and bring back their pelts, looting useless items and storing them in your trash bag, unbalanced PVP, experience leveling, running long distances wasting time and doing nothing, etc, I'll pass on.
Anything else, I may consider. One that comes to mind is Planetside 2. At least the first game tried to do something different. I have high hopes for the second.
GW2 is the only one I'm willing to maintain any hope for. It's the only game that doesn't seem to be celebrating dumbing itself down to appeal to more people. Anything else will be a plesant surprise if it isn't a complete mess.
FFIV is specifically saying how it will be following the mass appeal model. ToR may suffer from the same problems as STO where it's really just an online single player game.
Hope is a bad thing when it comes to MMOs.
Important facts: 1. Free to Play games are poorly made. 2. Casuals are not all idiots, but idiots call themselves casuals. 3. Great solo and group content are not mutually exclusive, but they suffer when one is shoved into the mold of the other. The same is true of PvP and PvE. 4. Community is more important than you think.

In the non-indie offering? no hope.
Not in the immediate future at least. Maybe in a few years after the stamp machine breaks and someone starts making traditionaly crafted mmo’s again. Latest money cow fad needs to pass-away/fail though, and it will.
M59, UO, EQ1, WWIIOL, PS, EnB, SL, SWG. MoM, EQ2, AO, SB, CoH, LOTRO, WoW, DDO+ f2p's, Demos & indie alpha's.

I second that

Seconded.
GW2, FFXXXXX, Blade and Soul not so much - im seriously fed up with asian Glam Fantasy.
SWTOR.
GW2 is the only one I'm willing to maintain any hope for. It's the only game that doesn't seem to be celebrating dumbing itself down to appeal to more people. Anything else will be a plesant surprise if it isn't a complete mess.

4. Community is more important than you think.
FFXIV by far. Maybe TERA, Rift, or WoD. SWTOR and TSW will just be another STO or AoC, whatever.
I'm hopeful for SWTOR, largely because I have pretty low expectations.
But in the long run my greatest hope would be Infinity.
