I played ultima online for almost 4 years before quitting due to various reasons. {basically the newbies and whiners got their way and UO developed safe lands and sold out} Dragon empires looks like it is gonna rock but Id like to play something now and not later. Just wandering if anybody could give me and direction towards an awesome MMORPG that has recently come out or one that is coming out soon.....{beta testers please} thanks

I have been following Horizons for a while and can't wait for the game. Recently got into Beta and not I want the game to come out even faster! You should check it out....

Sure, Horizons say me a good game if you can get back to the promised redundancy, repetitiveness, and meer boredom. Not to mention the horridly corny graphics, and queer looking weapons.

I have to agree with you Horizon is the most promising mmorpg coming out. I've read up on the game and what it's offering is incredible.
I saw that one video of the guy being the Adult dragon hovering over a village, the graphics were so beautiful.
Also there is City Of heroes which is another one i'm watching looks promising.
For the consoles XBOX has that great looking cell Shaded Game called True Fantasy Live Online, it will be interesting to see how the Voice communication works, that being the very first to my knowledge using a voice communicator.

Depends how long you are ready to wait for the game.
Horizons seems most promising game that will actually come out this year(forget the rest promising this year they will not make it).
UO X well not very sure about it but heck i never could understand why people still play UO in this damn age anyhow LOL.
I persnoally would like to get into the City of Heroes MMORPG, but it seems as if the game has almost been forgotten about by its developers. Either that or they simply or taking the longest freakin' time in the world to create this game. Yeah, I know, some people will hit me with "do you know how long it takes to make a mmog?" speach- but it still seems that it's taking an extraordinary amount of time. I don't think it'll be the most promising mmog to everyone- but I'm sure waiting for it.

So long as they don't go the route of Shadowbane's trail... and suck in the beginning as much then it should be worth it. Of course Blizzard always took it's time making games too... whether they were worth the wait is another debate all on it's own. It does seem like the gaming population is doing a whole LOT of WAITING for a lot of games to be released though...

maybe you can try playing lineage 2 (korean version) as far as it is.. It looks like another Dragon empire sort of game.. promising.. and I've been playing lineage for abt 1 year + .. Well somehow its the same.. oh well its all up to you whether you wan to wait or go play some runescape..
Well depends what you enjoyed from UO really.
If it was the economy(i know thats what held many of my old UO friends for quite a while since UO did it best) go try star wars galaxies.
The economy was created by same dudes who made the original UO and even me who is not a big fan of the economy aspect of a MMO game find it intresting.
Loads of UO players on it too .
Need at least a geforce 3 ti,1ghz processor and 512 ram to run the game though and even on that expect lag in the city on prime time.
They may not be original .. But then nothing ever is..
The point being of course is; how well can they do it, what kind of inovation, etc..
Just becuase its been done before doesnt mean they cant do it better.
And from what ive read, as long as they dont make the same mistakes as SWG, then it could very well be a very good game. As it is right now.. there is nothing I wanna play, iv tried betas.. Trial Downloads etc.. but to be honest there is nothing out there that has all teh elements of what I whant in an MMORPG. FoM however looks like it will have a fair number of the pieces I am looking for, but then so did SWG until they sold out to the mob and released the game before it was even finished.
LOL! I feel your pain man, there's nothing out there right now I really want to invest my time in. Will just have to be patient until Horizons or WoW comes out.

Same here. I'm just testing everything I can and waiting for one that strikes my fancy. Horizons still needs work IMO. Maybe after another update or two...we'll see.
UXO is different...very different. Thing is it might also be very fun. Will it be a true MMORPG? Meh..not in the sense we all know. More like a mix between MMORPG and Diablo. Sounds like an interesting concept. I'll give it a whirl.

i have to go with the rest of the crowd, i hope anyway, and say wow will own.

ffxi does look pretty decent, but wow looks to be more fun and not work.

what I heard of ffxi is that the gameplay has been adapeted to fit Console/PS2 and many think ff fan will feel be left standing in the rain game wise.
What is more funny that a PS2 user will need a lan connection and an ISP plus some adapter this infrastructure is actualy only given if you own a PC.
Also aleast 3/4+ of console owner is said buy console for their plug and play abilities quit the opposite of the procudure getting online appart of having to enter Credit Card information which will pritty much rule out many console users in europe and other non usa counteries and so on.
So why do I mention this all well I think ffxi will be end as a nice PS2 game with some PC gamers playing it.

No serious my opionion and lots of statements in last post are based on an interview of Richard Garriott (Lord British, uo creator) this also said overthings I think to be true like
e.g
One of the things we discovered with Ultima Online is that even highly social players actually spend more than half of their time in the game soloing. While it might seem like an unusual thing to want to provide a single-player feel to a massively multiplayer offering, we believe it actually fits in well with activities of most players.
I think he has the right perspective on those two issues.

I think Horizons will fail or succeed on its own. I cant see Final Fantasy and its success or failure having much affect on a game so vastly different.
Just my opinion of course but I doubt FF will have that big of a PC following, at least when compared to other PC MMORPGS, though it may do ok on the Playstation.
As for WoW, I think its living on company reputation and pretty screen shots right now. I havent read about anything all that exciting gameplay wise so far. Then again WoW is a long long long way from coming out and games like EQ2, Horizons, and FF will have already established themselves or failed by the time it is live and can compete.
Its exciting to think of all the choices that will be available over the next 8 months or so...now if they would just hurry up and start coming out!
