Poll: MMOs that actually look interesting.

[Snuggle]

I've never bother with playing a MMO, but now there are three contenders that might actually make me play one.
The first is "Star Wars: The Old Republic". What interests me most about it is the dialogue system, which reminds of Mass Effect's dialogue (possibly because it's made by the same dev?....hmmm). Perhaps a good story in an MMO? (Note: as I haven't played any MMOs, I won't know anything about the story standards). Sadly, what I've seen of the combat looks quite...bland.
The next is "The Secret World", by Funcom. I played Dreamfall, and loathed it. But I did love the setting and story. So, a MMO set in an intriguing universe and made by former adventure game makers, could this be a sign of awesomeness?
The third is "The Agency". So far I haven't heard anything about the story, but the game itself looks to have the best combat system (haven't seen anything from The Secret World), and the possibility of creating your own agency, practically a guild, could be very interesting...at least if you get your own HQ.

But what MMO are you looking forward to? If at all.

I was interested in this one, but I haven't heard anything about in in ages.

I'm quite looking forward to Star Wars: Old Republic and Final Fantasy XIV as well.

Champions online looks fun and has received universally positive reviews. It is a shame I quit all MMOs forever.

Most MMOs look interesting until you get into them and realize they'd likely be better off as normal games...

Old Republic is looking nice so far and I have to admit I'm liking the look of Star Trek Online more than I anitcipated. Beyond that, Secret World is going to suck since Funcom is behind it, and The Agency is basically a multiplayer FPS and the market is quite saturated with those at the moment.

Far as I know, it's still in development. According to Wikipedia, it's scheduled for release in 2010.

I'm looking forward to Old Republic, but I'm also interested in the new Guild wars.

The Old republic looks rad.

But I can't decide between Bounty Hunter and Smuggler....

Yeah, that's been my complaint about MMOs as well. I really like the story and setting of The Secret World, but I have this voice at the back of my head that's saying that it's an MMO and it's going to be terrible. Still, a man can dream.

The Pokemon MMO will be great when they finally get around to making one...
