Although I don't think anything will really match up to what WoW has done for gamers, it's still a very virgin field. I think there's a lot of room for people to make money in the MMO field.

The only game type that's going to beat WoW is a modern day setting, without the witchcraft/magic aspect to it. It's going to have to be the opposite of what WoW's setting is, and the mechanics of game play, character development, items and abilities are gonna have to be really refined (so they're gonna be three times better then what they are now).

Other then that, I see WoW leaving the scene when the "Greatest" next game comes, but that's not gonna be for a while.

Hypothetical of course, but it's what I see comin.

sounds like city of heroes, it's a contemporary city with superheroes; it's by the same company that does guild wars.

WTB Shadowrun MMO.

I was looking forward to Age of Conan, but its Vista only, and I don't feel like upgrading yet. I've also heard that Bioware is working on a new Star Wars MMO, I'd definitely play that if they improved on SW: Galaxies.

City of Heroes/City of Villians

most of the action is constant clicking of your 'powers'. You can't just attack and walk away from the screen for that drink. the Villians side is set up better than the Heroes side as far as quest lines and such. Get a contact, follow through the questline they offer, and you'll get something when you finish them. But they do get a little harder each mission. Mob levels are about the same as most. They do offer PvP. Heroes and villians can fight each other in certain zones that default you to certain lvls. You can fight your own side in the arenas that are available in several zones as well.
The funnest thing is building your toon! I know several people that will spend a lot of time ( literally hours ) just designing the costumes to match powersets. with over a million combinations available, it's easy to get lost in the detailing of your toons! And at 20, 30, 40, and 50, you get missions from the tailors that open up new costume slots for your toon.
This years halloween event offers event salvage drops. Collect all 4 or 5 and turn them in to a certain NPC to get an extra free costume slot! Plus thier are costumes that are treats, vs the mobs that spawn on tricks, One of my toons currently has collected 19 different special costumes. And you get either of these by, LOL knocking on doors once a minute! Oh, and thier are two special mobs that spawn ( with minions ) that give excelent exp as well as badges. I forgot exactly how many badges are currently available throughout the game. somewhere around 500 i think. vidiotmaps has a few threads on the subject.

Gah!! COH/COV was really a great game. But after patching the shit out of the game over the last 2 years they have destroyed the original vision. I am hoping the Marvel or DC mmo will be alot better.

Guild Wars is a great game as well BUT I like to solo. I am a solo fiend. And once you reach about lvl 15 you cannot solo worth a shit. You CAN but it is very tedious and tiresome.

I am back into Warcraft right now. My Warrior just hit 60. She is rockin'. I can still solo very well!! And coming from EQ like I did this is fantastic for the Warrior class!! I played a Warrior in EQ and they is really shitty solo. My Enchanter however soloed most of the way to 64 before I sold off my account. I have so far soloed most of the beginning content in the outlands. Soloing is very tactical and you need a great deal of patience but it certainly pays off. If I do group it is usually with one friend of mine who has a lvl 60 Druid. I hate pick up groups and I also hate the demands of a guild.

If I do hit up Guild Wars again( it is loaded and ready to go/I only have the first game no expansions) I will get your info and send you a tell

You guys should check out Age of Conan.. it's based on the novels not the movies.. and they actually tried to stay as close to the world created as possible.
Which means adult themes and stuff you wouldn't normally find in other mmo's or games for that matter.. (for example.. haven't seen too many drunk NPC's staggering through town only to go take a piss off the docks).


To love a Sin.......
