It’s summer. You know what that means! It’s way too hot to go outside, and the perfect time to play games all day (at least, that’s what I tell myself). The problem? There’s just not a whole lot I find that I want to play. So, that begs the question – what are you waiting for? In the world of MMOs, specifically, I’m going to rattle off what’s on my “do want” list, and hope you’ll join in me in needlessly wishing for games that aren’t here yet.

I haven't had a vacation all year because I lined up a week just to play it. I cannot fucking wait. Oh my god. 1 month and 6 days. Aagghhhh!!!
"FFXIV is one of those games I love for everything it is, but can’t stick with because as a usually-solo player, the combat is just so mind-numbingly boring."
You have answered your own question. Remember those reviews of survival games and SotA (not sure Bill did one), "good playing with mates", well FFIV has a lot more to do than a survival game, join a guild and the combat is not an issue.
Destiny 2 going F2P, not sure I can remember a MMO that got better after it went F2P but open to suggestions.
"It feels like I’m always waiting on games, then playing them for a week or two, then waiting more."
You have "butterfly syndrome" not uncommon now that we play in MMOs that go into overdrive to hold our attention for 10 minutes and then do little for end game. We are what we play and it is becoming difficult not to take on butterfly traits.
Nothing , there is plenty to do while stuff comes to me

Bill if you don't like the combat in FFXIV try another class/job!
I really enjoyed Red Mage (first to 70) as it's a very active rotation/priority/builder/spender system. I've heard good things about Ninja and Monk if you're into faster paced.
Haven't played any healers yet, but tanks I've played a good chunk of Dark Knight and Paladin, Dark Knight is definitely faster/more active but I enjoy Paladin more TBH. Trying to get my Paladin to 70 before the expansion drops in <2 weeks (currently 60.)<br />
Also EVERYONE seems to be leveling DK for Shadowbringers.
Beyond FFXIV, might check out Destiny 2 in September. Still a super fun game, but for me only to play casually. I can really only play 1 game at a time "hardcore" and that's been FFXIV.
I'd play more single player RPG's but I kind of like the possibility of socializing in mmo's. I've met at least a few decent people in every game I've played so far.
EQ1, EQ2, SWG, SWTOR, GW, GW2 CoH, CoV, FFXI, WoW, CO, War,TSW and a slew of free trials and beta tests

I am playing ESO very casually as a co-op RPG with my partner but that's pretty much it on the MMO-side for the time being.
I've little to no interest in returning to WoW yet...maybe not until the next expansion. FFXIV is simply not my thing at all and GW2 is something I go back to for tiny snips of time every now and again.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
And for the first time since I've started playing games in the past millennium (heh) I'm not waiting for any game. Current set of upcoming titles is mildly disappointing. Ghost Recon will have fixed classes (same - bad - scheme is used in in GR Wildlands PvP and The Divsion 2), Destiny does not have third-person view, there are zero decent (Black-Desert-level) MMORPGs in development.
I'm mildly optimistic about Gears 5 but I've never played the game and cannot say I really like what I've seen so far (Gears 4 has a bit too simple visuals for a major game released in 2016).
Thank you for your time!

I was enjoying LOTRO, and then I DL'd 3 or 4 different old/new games for some unknown reason!
So this is my new plan starting tonight: LOTRO until I'm bored, ESO until I'm bored, Neverwinter until I'm bored, Star Trek until I'm bored, BDO until I'm bored, and then Terraria as a palette cleanser.
Yeah, that sounds good! That's a good plan...until next week.
Gut Out!
What, me worry?
Agree wholeheartedly, I would be first in line for a new version of GW1. So many great mechanics in that game. Like many others here I keep looking for the next great mmo. I'm still loving ESO and I might try the SWTOR 6.0 expansion when it comes out for old times sake, but I haven't seen anything that grabs me for a new mmo experience yet.
Personally, I think that a GW1 spiritual successor could totally be in Larian's wheelhouse. It could even use a D&D or Divinity license.
I don't know. I just know I eventually lose interest. I like just about everything about FFXIV. At the end of the day though I find it stressful and realize I'm not enjoying myself. That's not what I play games for so I always end up moving on.
Only games I am looking forward to are Cyberpunk 2077, FFVII Remake, and in the distant future Baldur's Gate 3. I'm currently still trying to work my way through Pathfinder: Kingmaker. Most of my hours in these types of games are put into character creation. Perfect build FINALLY! *Twenty minutes later* Hmm, would like to see the dialogue options in this conversation with a Lawful Good Paladin *re-roll*
