wondering what game u guys think will be the next SWG or WOW i want too start playing a game from beta

Being that i started swg from the begining and its been a great game i would like too do the same with

    Probably WAR because it's being made by Mythic. Mythic made DaoC. People liked DaoC's RvR. It has the Warhammer tag. So it'll go down well. Despite EA being there.

    My hopes lie elsewhere though.....but I will play WAR beta if the chance arises.

      NEXT SWG ? Are you under the impression that game made even a tiny wave in the mmorpg wrold ? The game was a piece of grabage from the start. 

     


    It's better be hated for who you are, than loved for who you aren't.

    The next game to be on its own plateu like Ultima Onlinw and Everquest were, will probably be Vanguard, neating out Star Wars and World of Warcraft easily.  Where both those games are online versions of pre created history and stories, Vanguard creates a brand new world that surpasses much of what i expected in an online game.

    lol No doubt! I haven't played Vanguard, but I have fairly low hopes for it. I expect something more than set classes and raiding.

    If there is an open beta or a demo I can get in on, I'll give it an honest try. I can't see myself buying it to try it though. It looks way better than all the should-be-F2P games coming out (*cough*Archlord*cough*), but I'm just tired of the same old shallow MMORPG.

    Spin it how they might close to release time...

    What game will be the next SWG or WOW?  That's like saying what game will be the next "miss" or hit".

    Well, any of them, hehe.

    Though it won't be a true mmorpg, I expect Hellgate:London to sell better then Guild Wars and it will be very simular in how the game set up works, small towns, instances and free. It will be the new game that Diablo fans have been waiting for and is made by past Blizzard guys, they have no problem saying it's a revamped Diablo type game. It's currently in Alpha beta but these are the old school Blizzard guys who coined their Pharse "it will be done when it's done".  I'm hoping for a spring/summer 07 release.

    Yea Hellgate:London is one of the few upcoming games I am looking forward to. If only it was going to be an MMO. heh

    You didn't check the gameplay video's, did you? Vanguard is an Everquest clone. in fact, its probably THE everquest clone, a game couldn't possibly be more like Everquest

    next big thing? WoW is and will stay the big thing, but if there is any, I put my money on Age of Conan. War doesn't seem to be intresting, not to mention DaoC was garbage.

     If you're talking big sales then Warhammer online. Two games that I think will do very well. but far from being released and one not even in beta yet are Unchated Waters Online and Shadowrun Online.

    Whilst I agree Vanguard will not be the next big thing (Sigil have already said the game won't appeal to everyone), Vanguard is not an EQ1 clone.

    If you took the time to look at the game forums or FAQs you will realise its a lot more than a clone and they have admitted their mistakes in EQ1 and made Vanguard so much more than EQ1 ever offered.

    I think from a sales perspective WoW will remain top for a while to come, from a great game perspective Vanguard will be top.

    Now playing: VG (after a long break from MMORPGS)
    Played for more than a month: Darkfall online, Vanguard SOH, Everquest, Horizons, WoW, SWG, Everquest II, Eve

    I hope that no MMORPGs will ever be like SWG/WoW.

    edit* p.s. vanguard will be a flop, it's already dropping in hype now that more has been released about it. maybe it will be the next WoW.

    Text and feature list don't tell me anything about the game. I look at the gameplay video's. sure there might be improvements over Everquest 1 (which is the least they could do)  but gameplay is EXACTLY the same. Vanguard would be the top 5 years ago, but not today. we have seen Everquest by now.

    You Sir, are a moron.

    SWG PreCU was advanced for it's time, and there will NEVER be anything close SWG preCU.

    Ultima Online 2.

    ......

    Good luck to Warhammer. Looks like it will be a fun game if they do a good job ignoring the EA reps.

    I am wondering what Square Enix Next Gen MMORPG is going to be. Just know that the development team behind Final Fantasy XI are working on a new title for the PlayStation 3 and Windows Vista.

    Ultima online 2 which was called UOX was cancelled a long time ago and as far as I have heard there is no plans on retrying although I wish they would.
  • DarthoriousDarthorious Member UncommonPosts: 70

    Well doing the same thing the op did along with playing, COH, COV, FFXI, Guild Wars, and too many more too list

    All in an attempt to find something that had the same challenge in not only game play but mathamatical statistics nothing compares to pre-cu swg just due to the massive number of combanations you could make to your pvp toon.

    however one I beta'ed is the closest I found so far for the PvP style and is not released yet and believe it or not it was Cabal online.

    I was a 34 warrior and accidenttly accepted a duel from a 44 defender, I expected to die of course but...
    We started dueling and the duel lasted almost the entire time limit of the dual and he never killed me.  It was quite a long dual I think it's either a 15 minute or 10 minute time limit can't remember off hand.  But he was using potions and I never had any at the time and he actually ran out of potions still hadn't killed me and stopped dueling because of it saying he was out of potions and was done.

    Why did I last so long?  Because it's simular to Pre-Cu swg where you upped certain skills.  I had upped my sword skills a long ways above what was normal for my level at least that's what he said I had no idea what I should have been at with my sword skills but I was very easily able to dominate in PvP within my level.  That's the closest I could find to SWG.

    The combat is simular to NGE/wow but at the same time gave it a good blend of delay's on swinging although it doesn't feel that way extending PvP time and giving plenty of time to launch your next special.  Rumor was level cap was 175 but I'm not sure I just know I had alot of fun with it and 1:1 wasn't like a 30 sec. fight it could be alot longer depending on how many potions you and you opponet had.

    The starting complaints I had about the game was the camera angle was set in such a way you couldn't see the sky however I was told around level 100 you can change that as a reward or something.  Of course it was a point and click to move.  At first I didn't like that at all but after playing it a couple days it became easier to play that way.  However good point was you need to use the mouse during combat and the keyboard I soo realized I was able to attack and respond to attacks alot quicker because of this and realised a wasd set up would have gimped me.
    If it get's released in the US I will be playing that for sure.

    Personally I think The Chronicles of Spellborn will do well, TCOS is looking great and with all the ideas in it, it should go EVE's way I'm thinking, steady slow growth with a loyal fan base :)

    Of course there might be an explosion of people that knocks WoW off the top spot :P
