I'm not really anticipating anything right now. I guess I'll give Planetside 2 a go, but I won't lose sleep if the development was shut down tomorrow. All the upcoming titles are more or less "meh" for me.

Do you have any info on EQN about it being scrapped and re-done? I read that forum post about two concurrent versions being made and only one, a cheaper lame version, being chosen but that was never verified. I was hoping you had additional infos
forum post by a random internet nobody claiming EQN had 2 versions and EQN will be farmville
EQ Next is still being built within a black box. The *earliest* we are currently considering that we *might* reveal info is late this year. We're being very particular about what needs to be in the game before revealing it to folks, so until that stuff is ready, we won't be showing anything. (Screens you saw from a couple years ago are completely obsolete now and are not pertinent to the current game at all.)
There is no reason for EQ or EQII to ever fade away. EQN is not being designed to replace those games. The only way it could "kill" EQ or EQII is by being such a phenomenally better game that everyone flocks to it. Many miles to go before we sleep.
Ive been posting news updates, as i see them, at this thread
1. Maybe the first GW2 expansion, but I'm not even close to "finishing" my time in GW2 yet, so nothing down the pipe right now is even remotely appealing.
Ah, sorry, but I've played Vanguard for how many years now ? I dont buy anything the marketing guys from Sony claim. I'll judge the final product, nothing else, thanks a lot. Though its nice to hear they dont want to do a WoW clone. I dont buy that either, though.
4. Neverwinter (although this latest trailer has me second guessing my choice here)
5. Defiance
Honorable mention: Age of Wushu, Black Forest - these look really intriguing and surprising coming from F2P eastern developers. Ones to watch for sure.
But now that I'm playing GW2, my pre GW2 excitement for MMOs has dropped considerably, as nothing really looks as good as GW2. Time will tell though. The key to being a "good" game, I think, is being different. Such as what Wildstar is showing or Defiance. We can't have the same game type we've been seeing in the likes of Star Trek Online/Champions Online, or SWTOR/Aion/Rift etc. Definitely time to stir things up just as GW2 has shown.

Titan - I think it will definitely NOT suck. It will be a well funded, professionally produced, portable device capable, Twitter and Facebook linked, casual oriented game aimed at the tween crowd. So of course I won't go anywhere near it. But gamers like me are completely irrelevant, so...

.. couldnt find anymore, and the few i had been interested in, (ie. planetside 2) seem to be doomed to failure.
In no particular order:
World of Darkness.
The Repopulation.
Darkfall 2.0.
ArcheAge.
Planetside 2, but I can't stand SOE so my excitement is somewhat diluted.

Answering the original questions.
EQ Next is still being built within a black box. The *earliest* we are currently considering that we *might* reveal info is late this year. We're being very particular about what needs to be in the game before revealing it to folks, so until that stuff is ready, we won't be showing anything.

Oderint, dum metuant.
Planetside 2
Archeage
Gw2 expansion
No where near my list
Wow expansion
Titan
EQ next
Hmm, in case they are great, I am kind of interested (but cant say I really hold my breath for their release) into:
- EverQuest Next
- The Elder Scrolls Online- World of Darkness Online
- Neverwinter Online- ArcheAge
Not much information available though, and many look sandbox-y, full loot PvP, and/or free to play only, neither of which I am fond of.
Warhammer is very unlikely to be any interesting, I dont like being forced into racial PvP wars.
Of what little I heard of Titan, its a browser game and thus completely uninteresting to me.

1. Planetside 2
2. Wildstar
3. World of Darkness (in 2014 ?)
4. ?
5. ?
That's my rather short list of "anticipated" MMO-like games...
1) EQ Next
2) Repopulation
3) Archage
4) Age of Wulin
0- Titan, EQ Next, World of Darknes- I say zero because there's no info on them, but i have some hopes.
1- Archeage
2- The Repopulation
3- NeverWinter Online
4- Planetside 2
5- Not much, just other mmos to check out- GW2, WildStar, Age of Wulin, TESO, etc.
1. ArcheAge
2. Wildstar
3. Elder Scrolls
4. Neverwinter (although this latest trailer has me second guessing my choice here)
5. Defiance
Honorable mention: Age of Wushu, Black Forest - these look really intriguing and surprising coming from F2P eastern developers. Ones to watch for sure.

I'm not even sure I'll get to 5 at all... But lets give it a shot ;-)
1) ArcheAge - of course on #1
2) Lineage ]I[ - if development ever starts again after the TERA debacle...
3) WildStar - if only for the humor used in it...
4) World of Darkness - pretty quiet around WoD though...
5) Damn, MMO-scene REALLY sucks these days that I can't get one here..
Planetside 2
War Z
Neverwinter
Firefall
Marvel Heroes
* I don't know enough about Elder Scrolls Online to put it on my list. If its B2p or F2p then it will get a spot. I don't support P2p scams anymore.
Edit: TESO will be P2p at launch and will convert to F2p later... It will go on my list once it fails *Cough* I mean announces F2p switch.
Playing: Nothing
Looking forward to: Nothing
ArcheAge
EQ Next if its a box o sand.
