Gaming Future?
Is it just me or is there nothing new and exciting in gaming atm, and very little that looks remotely promising. I have left WoW for the last time, I refuse to re-visit SWG, EQ, FFxi, or DDO. None of them have anything new to offer me, except new time sinks.
Looking to the future I see: Age of Conan, Vanguard, and Warhammer Online. While all show at least some promise, will they offer anything new?
Age of Conan will allow me to play a Barbarian warrior and slash and hack my way through a frozen wasteland ( sounds familiar..wonder if the name Kolm has been taken yet).
Warhammer Online will allow you to control a small army and fight in faction based PVP combat. This is exactly what the table top game was based on and I did spend Many hours with that one ( but no miniatures to paint this time).
Vanguard has had so much information leaked and some of it was said to be false, so I really don't know what to expect from this game.
If I missed any games that show promise or left some info out, please let me know.
I am just trying to get a general consensus from my fellow gamers as to what the future holds ( for how we spend/waste our evenings...) With the snows coming, gotta plan ahead.

online Monopoly?
It's harder and harder to get all enthusiastic about a game, isn't it? I don't think we're likely to see the "newness" thrill and wonder we experienced while killing orc shaman on the frozen wastes outside of Halas. I never once had that sense of fun in WOW.
I miss Quake too. We had a neat "clan" there for about 4 years where we played other teams in "deathmatches" and capture-the-flag matches.
The thrill is gone, man.
I did relive that thrill briefly when I went back to EQ on the combine, but you're right, it's not quite the same.
I play a few online browser strategy games, and lots offline strategy games. btw, I enjoyed killing all types of shamans.
