I have posted this before, but I love asking. What games are y'all playing right now? I'm deep into Classic WoW, but I'm looking forward to the Link's Awakening remake on the Switch. What are y'all also looking forward to, to come out (PC or Console)? I have a few games i'm excited about, but I would love to hear what you are playing and looking forward to!

Guild Wars 2 is my current MMO.
It'll be all about Borderlands 3 soon though.
I only play one game at a time.
You can see my sci-fi/WW2 book recommendations.

But after that it's onwards to MH: Iceborne, Greedfall, DaemonXMachina, Link's Awakening, Code Vein and The Surge 2. All before the end of the month. Phew...
I may veer into Endless Sky for a bit (it's more or less a shameless Escape Velocity nostalgia trip, and that's a beautiful thing) and Rimworld has been calling again for some reason; I think it's because watching virtual people suffer puts my own life in perspective:

grrrrr
Once upon a time....
Waiting for:
Greedfall
Border Lands 3
I do have to admit,a lot of new game studios do a good job with marketing,but that doesn't matter to me,i look careful at a game and look for nuances that i don't like to see.I am not even feeling this Metro ,definitely not feeling Borderlands 3,we are given the same crap over and over with a different skin,a few different bells and whistles but same old game play.
For some it is easy,they are like,well i love that game play ,so i can't wait.Not me i demand a much more robust set of systems,no lazy crap like put 2 pts here every level.
I did see a bunch of real cool games coming out by end of 2020,feels like a very long wait.When i see all these cool games,it really bothers me that we are given a steady feed of crap here,from Crowfall,to SC,to a pile of other very bad games,yet there are at least 20-30 cool ones incoming.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
Same problem though, it's massive so if you want to do everything, it will get repetitive.

WoW Classic/Live
FFXI
GW2
But, this is just a filler. Once Ship of Heroes and/or Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen get into early release, I will be playing those exclusively.
The world is going to the dogs, which is just how I planned it!
I have played a lot of MMOs over the years. Ultima Online pre Tram was the one I enjoyed the most. I found a browser based MMO which gives some of those same Pre Tram emotions. PVP with loot drops, faction wars, Valued crafters, town/world building, etc.
Although the game is quite different in ways, its a browser game not an Isometric game, it is the same in the important parts and the emotions it generates while playing. You know a game is good when your hands are shaking after a big pvp raid and you're trying to get out of the enemy lands alive with some good loot.

Actually Free - No cash shop or subscription at all, devs volunteer their time because they love the game.
Faction Wars - There is a constant faction battle across the world which keeps things interesting. Players can choose any faction they want even if they are not your race's home faction.
PVP with loot drops - You drop your loot when you die. You can restock gear from your town, get revenge, and get your gear back though. Dieing isn’t the end of the world. Pvp is possible in groups and solo. I have had quite a few great solo pvp raids. Coordinated group raids can be fun too and safer of course, however then you have to split the loot with your friends.
World terraforming - Players can build roads, forts, towns, and bridges. They can also tear down mountains and trees to make room for building and alter the monster spawns in those areas as well.
Rare world mobs - Rare monsters with good loot randomly spawn and move around the map until they die.
Large rare world bosses - Dragon fights with 40+ players, often leading into massive pvp battles as they tend to spawn in the contested areas between factions and give a ton of loot.
Valued Crafters - All gear is crafted so crafters are heavily valued. Brings back memories of standing in line for the blacksmith at the Britain smithy.
Useful loot - Loot contains ingredients (common or rare) for crafts and enhancement items you add onto your gear. All loot has a use, no junk items like in many games.
Skill based progression - Weapon, crafting, and other general skills can be trained by use with no restrictions.
Player chosen stat increases - You get to choose your stat increases, all skill gains give evo points which you use to increase any stat you want.
Races have differences - Races are important and effect how expensive each stat is and how much it costs to move across different terrain types (plains, snow, desert, etc.).
Make sure to check out the discord (link in game) as guilds and factions coordinate a lot of pvp, trading, world terraforming, etc. there.
No MMO action for me these days. I've been playing an intense game of XCom 2 War of the Chosen again, after trying to get into Valkyrie Chronicles again and failing to do so.
I just Bought Pillars of Eternity 1 during GoG's latest sale and need to play it, Pillars of Eternity 2, and Pathfinder: Kingmaker. I should RPG'd out by then

Personally the only modern MMORPG trend that annoys me is the idea that MMOs need to be designed in a way to attract people who don't actually like MMOs. Which to me makes about as much sense as someone trying to figure out a way to get vegetarians to eat at their steakhouse.- FARGIN_WAR
