Unless you are counting betas / early access I doubt most of these will see a launch in 2017. Also, while I am interested in a few on this list, the MMO I'm most looking forward to / likely to be playing in 2017 is Stormblood for FFXIV.
I'm really looking forward to Pantheon and recently pledged to it. Their recent stream in early December was great I thought.
Also keeping my eye on Camelot Unchained. MJ struck gold with DAoC which remains my top MMO gaming experience to this day. At the very least, I get to enjoy the nostalgia of thinking of playing two games that are inspired by EQ and DAoC - and that's free!
Pantheon is one on that list that I am really waiting for. I am questioning if it will be out in 2017 though, I would put money on a 2018 release on that. Maybe beta by the end of 2017 though.
Game shows promiss and is going back to the roots of what made the mmo
genre something special, something completely lost in todays mmos. I like most the game design aspect of it. It needs a
whole lot of polish and devs have to make the game a full experience
even with thier limited budget, can't be a half release with promises of content later, need to be a AAA title from launch or people will probably pick it up and drop shortly later. I think they learned their lessons from Vanguard about releasing early. Has me worried some, but the team making
it has talent. If they pull off their vision I might of actually found
a mmo to play long term after 5yrs of being forced to mmo hop from game to game.
The others on that list I am watching but expect to write off. I am not a fan of PvP centric mmo games and I am just plain sick of solo player / quest driven theme park style games. Oh and Perma death is a major game breaking element for me... so that kills Elyria will not even try it because of that mechanic. Sad because the other aspects seem interesting.
Most wanted MMo? The one that has an actual explorable world and isnt a questfest with ? and ! dotting the entire landscape....We are begging someone to make a world we can explore and let us make our own fun instead of trying to constantly entertain and do everything for us.
You people keep saying this, they come around and you play it for a week before getting bored of no content, nothing to do, etc. Make up your mind!
Some cool sounding games on this list. The negative ninnies who say it's all trash should go outside and get some fresh air, maybe relax with a nice lavender tea.
Now Playing: Bless / Summoners War Looking forward to: Crowfall / Lost Ark / Black Desert Mobile
I must admit I'm looking forward to a few RPG's that are due out in 2017 more then MMO's on the list. I may check them out but will probably stick with the MMO's I'm playing now.

I am a big fan of both Camelot Unchained and Crowfall. While very different games, I am drawn to their unique ideas and veteran leadership. I have followed both pretty carefully and wish the developers and respective communities the best.
On the other hand, despite some cool ideas, I am very, very leery of both Pantheon and Chronicles of Elyria. But, if they make it to an actual release, I am sure I will check them out.
Albion Online will never be released.
I've played all of those games and I just wan't Revelation Online because it's the next big MMORPG after Tera (B&S EU is not good as CH), Sea of Thieves because it's fun and The Exiled because it's an RPG Ultimate Arena fully PvP Survival with a simple but solid concept (not like Albion).

I have to admit, at this point, I'm really just wanting to see any of these games launch; there's just been so few MMO releases recently.
I'm loosely(and I mean quite loosely) following all of them -- CU, Crowfall, Pantheon, Forsaken Legends, that new Ashes of Creation one, etc. -- even Chronicles of Elyria, though it has all the signs and foretellings of an impending trainwreck.
Even though I'd rather try some over others, I'm keeping an open mind on all of them.
Cant wait for Pantheon, but also looking forward to Crowfall for the pvp. Both games have put out some impressive videos recently, showing things are really coming together.

So much "Asian garbage"?... that list is mostly is mostly made up of low budget pvp focused kickstarters lol.
At least the "Asian garbage" will release with complete products... something you wont be able to say about a lot on that list

It won't have that many players per server, they've said so multiple times now.
