The Digital Continuum: Five attention-stealing MMOs

Throughout this year there hasn't really been an MMO released that's became a stand-in for my main game, which I actually don't even have as of right now. So with the summer's end nearing, I thought a look six or so months into the future releases would be an interesting topic. I know what some people may be thinking, Age of Conan did indeed come out just as summer was starting. While Funcom's newest game did hit rather recently, it just wasn't what I was looking for in a game overall. So if you're in the same boat as me, or just want to read about some of the upcoming MMOs worth playing, feel free to click the image above to start reading.

I'm looking forward to WAR the most, as well. I'm a big fan of WoW, so I cant wait to see how it compares. The others are more of a "wait and see" sort of thing for me. I've got a LoTRO account but havent hit 40 yet, so the expansion would be pointless for me. As for the others, there is a lot of potential to be good, and a lot of potential to fail. Especially Jumpgate, it could turn out to be the MMO all the wingcommander junkies flock to, or it could flop big time. I dont think Netdevil has done enough to sell the game either, even though its shown up at several conventions, information is rather sparse. I thought it looked great when it was first announced, but now I'm not so sure.
