Today, however, is a completely different day. It's quiet. It's new. It's even, dare I say it, mysterious! Now that two of the big games that we've been leading up to for so long are released, what's next for you guys out there? What new game on the horizon has tickled your interest? What game is making you bounce excitedly behind your keyboard?
Is it MAG? APB? Huxley? If shooters aren't your thing, what about Cities XL? Earth Eternal? Star Wars: The Old Republic? (Although everyone's excited about that title. Kind of a no-brainer there.)
Talk to us! Tell us where your fancy lies now that the waters have calmed. Put your typey-words down into the boxy-thingy to transmit your beliefs into the internet!

Anything which I am playing, I am playing only to fill the void between now and Guild Wars 2.
Oh, and I guess CoH Going Rogue might be fun too.

Guild Wars 2. Other MMO, I don't have any interest in. Well except for FFXIV but that won't be out before GW2(probably).
I probably shouldn't jump on the hype wagon but I have faith in Anet.
I'm confident they'll deliver.

I, too, am in the "Great Void" between the MMOs that are out now and in the pipeline (zzzz...) and Guild Wars 2. GW2 is the only MMO on the horizon that I am genuinely stoked about, although I will probably give STO a try next spring -- and SWTOR also, although that one still seems a long way off to me.
In the meantime, I am contemplating either a return to WoW... or just playing Drakensang/Dragon Age-type SPRPGs until something more interesting on the MMO front comes along.

The Secret World is starting to tickle my fancy!

Without a doubt Black Prophecy and Jumpgate Evolution :) I've been yearning for a decent spacesim since the days of Tie Fighter and Freespace.
Time to sail the heavens in a spaceship of the imagination...

I'm going to be playing Aion for the next couple of months. I'm actually having fun with this game, queues or not.
I'm going to be watching for SWTOR for sure, but i want to see more of gameplay before deciding to give it a go. Combat didn't seem that impressing for a Bioware's game :P. But anyway, that game is still in development so anything can change

I have APB, Star Trek Online and The Secret world on my radar at the moment. Not too bothered about Star Wars: The Old Republic at the moment never been much of a fan of the franchise.

You are right, i forgot the Secret World! I had some fun with AoC, just didnt get into it enough to play it for longer than month by month.

As someone who has seen Heat about one hundred times, I can't wait to run down the streets of San Farro in a suit firing and assault rifle.
APB, definately

You are not the only one (I am too) but there is not enough info at the moment for many people to get excited.

Of course I am looking forward to SW:TOR but oddly enough I am really interested in Earth Eternal, the multitude of races is really cool.

FFXIV. I would have been excited for an improved XI, but it looks like instead of adding a new polish on it, their deconstructing the whole thing and rebuilding it better from the ground up. Really looking forward to seeing what SE can do in its sophomore effort.
While I'll probably play star wars since everyone else will.... I'm not too excited about it. Guess it's wait and see, but I'm going to keep my expectations low after the disappointment I had with WAR and the hype around it.

I already play LOTRO and CO, and I will be looking to complete my trinity with STO, which I am highly excited about.
However I may well end up with a with a sided game fest as I must admit I am also quite excited about SW:TOR
Playing them isnt really an issue as I tend to wax and wane genrewise as far as my interest goes.. so I may play the fantasy based LOTRo religiously for a few months and then be burned out on fantasy for a while, so take a break and switch to CO and vice versa.
MMO's have been such an proactively developing genre of late its wonderful.

Cant wait for Secret World, assuming it lives up to the hype.
Also strangely looking forward to APB even though I hate PVP (maybe this game will change my mind!).
Of course both these games could turn out to be a huge disappointment but keeping positive...!

I'll be busy playing Aion for the next couple of months.The Secret World is on my radar and hope FC will deliver the goods this time + waiting for 38studios to show us their baby.

I'm watching FFXIV and SW:TOR right now, but I'm looking for a new MMO after becoming tired of LOTRO after 2 and a half years. Surprisingly Everquest II is the game that's caught my attention over Aion or CO.

APB/TOR/GW2 are about the only MMOs I'm looking forward to atm.
Hopefully Aion will keep me entertained at least as long as those come out. :D

The only thing I look for at the moment is Global Agenda.
GW2 is nice and I really enjoy first GW but it is NCsoft and I cannot bring myself buying from them.

Guild Wars 2 has my full attention and so far no other game has been able to pull me away from GW1 so I will continue to explore the in's and out's of GW until GW2 launches or something revolutionary happens with one of the upcoming games(SW:TOR).
