Audience members, who nearly outnumbered the company spokesmen, called it the biggest non-Blizzard MMOG announcement since the last Shadowbane expansion.

I play World of Warcraft and I like it well enough, but it isn't the end all and be all of MMOs.
I started playing in March thinking that maybe all the nasty bugs would be sorted out by that point. Well, they sure aren't. I've had lots of nice experiences such as boats disappearing and killing me and crashes that left my character stuck logged in for 24 hours.
I like the game but it seems like there are a lot of bored level 60s going around. Seem

You know the part of my post where I said that it was?
Yeah, that part wasn't actually there.
Go ahead, read it again. Not there.
All I was saying is, almost nobody seems to care about any other MMOG at the moment. The tiny number of posts in this thread so far kind of backs me up on that.

How true. And how unfortunate since World of Warcraft, while good, introduces nothing new. The other MMOGs that are being announced are pushing the envelope forwards in a number of ways:
City of Villains licensed a physics engine and has destructible terrain. You can rob a bank and blow up the door to the vault and have it blow up into little bits that bounce around realistically.
Everquest 2 is introducing movable terrain which can be u

It does introduce one thing new, and it's the reason why nearly all of my friends are playing it:
Cross-platform support for both PC's and Macs.
No, there are not many Mac gamers out there. No, Blizzard probably does not sell the game to a lot of Mac users. However, there is one modern MMORPG in which my PC-owning friends and Mac-owning friends can all play together on the same server, and that's World of Warcraft

WoW is seeing a boost of interest from the launch of the European servers as well. However in game and in the forums I see a lot of bored level 60s wondering "what now?"
The time it takes to go 0-60 in WoW is pretty short by MMO standards. This is good initially because it makes players f

Seems like Blizzard has become content to rest on their laurels.
It was fun while it lasted, but I just cancelled my subscription. Aside from sheer boredom and lack of high end content, the in game economy has been almost entirely ruined.
There are severe imbalances in the population between horde and alliance on almost every server.

This renders PvP pretty much pointless for either side. No challenge as Alliance, and No point as Horde.

I have to agree. It was often 30-40 Alliance versus 10-15 Horde in Tarren Mill on the Silver Hand server. The Alliance rogues alone easily matched all of the Horde defenders most nights.
Instanced battlegrounds with a cap will likely be a far better PvP atmosphere in terms of numbers. However I'm speculating on servers where the Alliance has an overwhelming population advantage over their Horde counterparts, the Alliance likely has better gear and more cash reserves due to more raids and a more robust ec
