What will he do next?
Priest (First Western Type MMORPG) Sounds interesting and hella alot fun, getting away from the Swords and daggers or future type games.
definately lineage 2
Enjoying EVE-ONLINE so much io wont switch too soon.
If i get bored i'll look into SWG maybe because they will have fixed a lot bugs and added a lot content by then.
Lineage 2,Dragon Empires and Horizons look promising too.
I love Blizzard but WoW seems to be to be heading too much for the mass i fear. I like the complexity of MMORPGS.
I wouldn't play eve if that would stop me hehe.

Hey, guys!
I guess that Trials of Ascension has the best features and maybe one of the best graphic. Check it out!: www.shadowpool.com
Lejendary adventures seems to be coming along nicely with Gary Gygax having his input used.
Also Dungeons and Dragons On-line will be nice to see although its not slated until like 2005 i think.

When You're Falling of a Cliff You Might Aswell Try To Fly.
I am quite interested in checking out WoW as it is looking to shape up into a great game.
Others are Middle Earth, Lineage 2 and yes I want to try SWG
I'm so tired of DAOC.
_p
EQ2 looks interesting, extreme graphics, would probably murder every computer. Although if its the same-o monster bashing wont even try playing it.
Horizons is a dissapointment, the original idea was awesome, the new idea is just a pathetic replacement. Not to mention its weapons are freakin gay looking.
WoW.......Was looking forward to it till they said 10% pvp, and no PvP servers. I expected something like that to happen to a game like everquest 2, but its warcraft, its about freakin conflict and chaos. The first death knight, cant remember his name, he was a human prince, killed his own father! Orcs and humans have been warring for decades, etc, etc.
Dungeons & Dragons, interesting concept, i've been hoping for something like this to happen, always wanted a MMRPG like Baldurs Gate II in 3d. The freedom, but consequences in baldurs gate II were great. Thats what would really make this game, have the freedom to be a hero, warlord, villian, criminal. Or maybe even command a keep and an army.
Lineage II seems to be interestingly coming along. Probably after SWG i'll be trying that out.
Dragon empires has an interesting concept, except it seems to be quite aways off.
As for middle earth online....my oh my....what a disgraceful ruin. For one, you shouldnt be trying to make a game that is in a time period placed in stone (tolkien strongly described that time period) not to mention i believe they said you could interact with the LoTR characters....c'mon
Oh, not to mention I believe they said no PvP, what is that, its good vs evil, conflict. Etc...Geez...

As much as some of these games you all are looking forward to, IMHO I don't think any of them will hold a candle to HORIZONS.
Don't get me wrong, I am watching many of the others, but I still think HZ will be the best one.

dude! that matrix pong thing was awesome! anyway, would like to be more original but i have to say world of warcraft. mythica also looks very nice, more action anyway. but the arenas in wow... thats just the coolest thing in an mmorpg ever. i believe you can bet on the battles, thats kool. tourneys would be awesome. yea, oddly thats the thing im most excited about in wow.

Horizons first...Then leave there to go to Middle-Earth Online, then I will leave there when Dungeons & Dragons Online comes out. I think I got my MMO's planned out for the next 3+ years
Oh BTW Finwe. Um' if you are really into MEO you would know there is PVP. But with restrictions. It is not normal for an Elf to go and raid the homes of Hobbits. PvP = Chaos. So in a way, it is correct that MEO would be NOT PvP. But in another way, it will be but controlled, because of players that love to ruin entertainment for others just to randomly kill without reason or just to be like a typical teenager and behave oppositionally to get attention, get others angry (IRL), bend the rules in their favor or just to see how far they can get away with being a nuissance and laugh when someone complains about them (knowing they can just create a new char and totally decieve everyone that is unaware. All of this my friend is called Grief playing in my eyes. To them type of players, I really do hope that on a daily basis they have a little brother or sister that constantly interupts the things they enjoy in life so there are constantly annoyed.
I think a majority of Tolkien fans would be upset if everyone was senselessly running around killing each other like they were in a Deathmatch FPS game. It wouls take away the whole environment of what Middle-Earth is all about. I don't remember anywhere in any Tolkien books where murder was a major problem within all of the kingdom, so I couldn't see how plain ol' PvP would fit into the world. That is mainly what is wrong with most MMORPG games and PvP and that is why the majority of players stay on carebear servers. However, I am sure that when most MMORPG games in the future that have different restrictions (thanks to grief players that don't know how to play a ROLE) will have an ALL PvP server for those that just like to combat senselessly to feed their self-esteem IRL.
Also, D&D Online will not be a BG2 thingy. It will be based strictly off the D&D 3.5 Ed. HARDCORE rules set. From what I have been informed of is that it will be in the land of Faerun and of course include the City of Baldur's gate along with over 20 other major cities when it is first released sometime in 2005. Basically it wil include North to South including all of the sword coast region and in coast to the Silver Marches down to Calimshan. There will be constant updates to terrain changes, ongoing stories and a lot of other periodic updates that will be either bi-weekly or monthly that will entail an ongoing living world of the forgotten realms setting. Landmass more easternly will come in expansions and well and off coast islands as the Moonshae Ilses and other less promenant islands that tie to a ton of history you will read about in books, NPC stories, notes and other types of information exchanges while playing. Don't ask me how I know this. I will not say. But if you think I am just guessing, that is up to you. Just think about it
If you are a Forgotten Realms fan, you probably know what I am talking about and know how vast and detail the history will be like in D&D Online. Lets just hope Turbine doesn't let us all down. They have a good and bad track record. However, I think they have more confidence in this project than they did with any game they have and are currently working on...Have fun, cya in Faerun

I agree that senseless an elf killing a hobbit would ruin the storyline. But there were men who worked for sauron, evil men then there were the orcs of sauron, there were also evil hobbits, and elves and dwarves were never on friendly terms. Heck, the only real people that didnt have records of joining sauron or being evil.
And no, i'm not really into MEO, I figure that its a game that shouldnt be done. And last time i read the site was a couple months ago and I believe then they didnt mention one friggin thing about PvP. And I remember reading or hearing about how they were not even going to add PvP, or very little, which I have a feeling they'll add very little. Which IMO, will mess up it as bad as having elves murder hobbits.
You say PvP=chaos, so thus it'd make sense that they'd make it non PvP, when no, its the opposite, thus because PvP is chaos, they should have it, in the time setting they're setting it in, the world was in chaos. If they want to set it in the time where Aragorn was King, and the land was at peace, then fine, they should do it if they arent going to make the game PvP strongly, even when the land is at peace, there is criminals, but at least it isnt as so blatant considering the time they're setting it in was chaos.

I'm not too familiar with 3.5 edition rules. Although what really made BG fun, was the freedom to do about anything, hero, villian, landowner, warrior, hermit wizard, hero, criminal, thug, thief, etc.

And yes.. I do believe MEO should be complete PvP.

Got to say WoW, MEO and Matrix online... And idealy, I'd like to have them 6-9 months apart !
Rael
ShadowBane rulzzzzz !
From what I've seen so far DnD 3.5 rules are hardly any different from basic 3rd edition... all they did was tweak a few things here and add a few things here and made a new pretty cover and retailed 3 new books at $30 a pop.
Anyways... back on topic... If it [Dnd Online] uses true DnD rules and gives players the freedom they should get in a DnD game it could damned well be a force to be reckoned with... however its most likely just another blight on the DnD name by wizards of the coast... I'm look more towards Lejendary Adventure (yes its spelled like that). Gary Gygax the godfather of RPGs is in on production there... go check it out on the game list...
Down with Wizards of the Coast! Long live TSR!

Dragon Empires without a doubt, this will be the biggest PvP title for a long time now that Shadowbane has shown us that waiting 5 years before releasing a game does not work.
Second on the list is Everquest 2, I don't play EQ any longer but still admit that it is the best experience in MMORPGS at this time.
