Take your pick! 2011 is just around the corner with some BIG MMO titles making their debut in the upcoming year!

Give a brief explanation of why you picked the game. Pros and cons, game content news, game mechanics, etc.

EDIT: Just added in a poll, so you may vote there!​

 

diablo 3 for sure... never heard of torchlight..
edit: just googled it. torchlight has no pvp? .....

 

Haha, well Torchlight is still in development, they have not confirmed there will be no pvp, but as of right now it will just be a co-op experience. The single player game is awesome, and it was their test run for the MMO version as well as to get some start up funds, but if you like random loots and an endless variety of randomized dungeons, Torchlight will keep you going for hours.

Plus the modding community is fully supported on the official forums, ranging from new classes to new weapons, increased difficulties, etc.

It's much like Diablo and some of it's developers have worked on the Diablo series as well.

 

My vote goes to tera. I think a fantasy mmo that isn't the typical click to target game will be fun.

 

Star Wars The Old Republic

 

Defintely to Diablo 3. I mean im not even a big an but Blizzards got much more marketing power than the rest, and is willing to use that market power.

 

That is very true, and it will have a huge fan base following as always. Hopefully it go into the books as a history making game just the previous games in the series. It is looking great so far, and the fact that Blizzard is taking its time to release the game means they are perfecting every inch of it.

By the way, there are a few Fantasy MMO's that aren't the typical click game out right now as well. Vindictus is one of them.

 

Not all click games are bad, its alot easier. I actually find vindictus/mabinogi style games a bit annoying sometimes. Played both btw.

 

Diablo 3 from what I've seen it looks amazing, I've been waiting a long time for this.

 

Guild Wars 2, but All Point Bulletin is nice MMO. on 2011 will be for free.

 

I only knew of 3 games coming out on your list, my vote went to Guild Wars. The first was great and the next game has been a long time coming. I'm more interested in Stellar Dawn (new Jagex game), though.

 

Can you elaborate on this？ I never knew a new game is coming out made by Jagex。 Can you link me to page。
Nevermind i found it。 Its a sci-fi game， i hate sci-fi games 〉。〉

 

Star wars the old republic has alot of hype and a huge fan base already, it will easily rival diablo.

 

True, the hype level will rival Diablo, and I do LOVE Bioware, but it's their first entry into the MMO world, and they are getting help from EA Mythic... Not a great track record I would say.

Still, the progress they've made on SWTOR is really nice. I'm looking forward to trying it out when it comes out.

 

star wars the old republic, looks great and Bioware is making so you know it will be fantastic

 

I agree it's an amazing series, with both 1 and 2 being incredible, and Bioware does have a very nice line up of SINGLE player games under their belt, but they have never done a MMO before. I'm not one to come to conclusions until I see the finished product.

But if they can pull off what they are claiming they want to do, then it will surely be an amazing MMO.

Only time will tell.

 

diablo 3 hands down.

 

i actually even played diablo 2 last month to get a refresher i cant wait for it lol.

 

I'll laugh if all the MMOs come out all at once. "Oh shit what do i play?!". Its gonna be hard choosin eh? lol

 

Well Diablo is most likely set for Q3 or Q4 of 2011.

SWTOR is set for late Q2 2011.

I believe a few of those other MMOs mentioned will be overlapping in release dates. Haha. It's going to be one heck of a MMO year.
