And most recently, the Star Wars Galaxies-like crafting really gives me high hopes for the game. Larry Everett Shaddoe): I’m still looking to Crowfall. It’s a wide tent with a lot of room for different playstyles beneath it, so I hope that there will be room for me when it eventually does come out. But I am impressed with the vision of this title and what’s been presented so far. There are concerns, chief among them has been the spotty dev updates over the years. Justin Olivetti Sypster): Ashes of Creation. So, yeah, I’m looking forward to this one, even knowing that I may wind up being disappointed by it when it finally finishes baking. Runners-up: Peria Chronicles and Crowfall. I’d be pretty content if any of these took home the title.Įliot Lefebvre Eliot_Lefebvre): Ascent: Infinite Realm. This game came out of nowhere, huh? But boy, steampunky airships with giant robots and such are my jam. Plus there’s Dual Universe and Project Gorgon and Sea of Thieves and all the superhero indies ( Ship of Heroes will probably hit first?). WoW Classic even has my attention I’m not sure I’ll like it, but I can’t think why I wouldn’t at least give it a go for the nostalgia factor. Ascent: Infinite Realm and New World are the bigguns waiting in the wings, and I bet they start making these lists more consistently in 20.

Crowfall, which I backed, is totally back on my radar thanks to its huge overhauls this year that, well, make the game more an MMORPG than a glorified MOBA. Camelot Unchained, of course, because RvR and crafting and no grinding and a great studio. Brendan Drain nyphur): Has to still be Star Citizen.īrianna Royce nbrianna): Ug, I have so many. Having an online mode paired with meatspace play helps! POGO barely makes the “MMO” cut around here, and probably more thanks to Raph Koster’s comments than its game design, or at least in my opinion. I know more AR fans probably want to see Harry Potter: Wizards Unite come out first, but Maguss seems more, well, MMO-like. Readers keep saying good things despite the game being half a year late with its open beta. Persistent “lobby” with instanced campaigns, non-standard crafting system, and pulling back on the race/class locking? Yes please! Runner up- Maguss! Surprise surprise, it’s an AR game.
