I'm quite interested in Archeage actually. It looks really cool.
I never played Wow. KOTOR was my first official MMO. Big disappointment, too.

So after 7 years of development Blizzard canceled Titan. I can only imagine they felt it wouldnt stack up against WOW and decided to end it. The problem with this is, WOW is dying. If you dont feel the same way I understand and its cool but to me it is. Their losing subscriptions left and right and I have even heard that apparently the new expansion isnt getting high pre orders. They need something new out there and they have just thrown that out. I was actually excited to see Titan. I played WOW on and off for awhile and I did enjoy it, I didnt see what all the big talk about it was thou. Before WOW I played Guild Wars, it was F2P so I didnt have to worry about a subscription every month. After playing that I just didnt understand the big thing about WOW, to me even to this day, there similar. One is free to play on the other you pay for. I mean you can jump on GW2 and do the same you do on WOW, yes there are differences but the end game is the same, you create a character, level them up, and then dungeon and PVP to the end of days. Thats what most players do, majoirty side they have either already delved into the story during their first run or dont care for the story. Its only in newer MMOs that their getting more interesting, Arche Age, which I highly recommend is a sand box MMO that is very open world and lets you do all sorts of things. I like to think of it as the sims with a MMO style in a way. If WOW wants to compete with Landmark, Arche Age, Wildstar, and several of the other new ones its gonna have to take on some radical changes.
If Blizzard wants to stay revelant in the MMO area there gonna need to pump something majore out in a update to WOW or just do a WOW 2 or a new MMO storyline all together. Trying to push the old one to live when its coughing up water for air isnt gonna help their case.
The only mmo-ish types I liked were Phantasy Star Portable and Phantasy Star Portable 2 infinity. (Both for the psp) I think what drew me to those was my previous love of the standard Phantasy Star rpgs. Also, both were story driven despite being combat heavy and loot centric.
I don't know why I didn't get sucked into WOW too. I mean I did love Warcraft 3. But the thing is Warcraft 3 and WOW while connected at the mythos are still two very different games. Wow just never called out to me,y'know? Maybe by then I'd simply moved on to other things?
