The great Second Generation MMORPG's like pre-CU SWG, Lineage 2, Dark Age of Camelot, EVE, etc. I'm not starting over in any of those games and I played all of them. That being said what am I left with...nothing.

Archlord bombed, Vanguard burned, Auto Assault was a joke, Sword of the New World is generic at best, Rappelz is about as deep as a puddle, Silkroad Online is one of the most boring grinds I have experienced with no end-game, LOTRO was a lore ridden errand quester with no PVP objectives, Pirates of he Burning Sea is decent but not something I want to invest time and money into, Tabula Rasa is a shallow MMORPG dieing to be a single player FPS, and 2Moons offers about 1/4 of the end-game content necessary for a hardcore Korean style grind. There are others I tried to play but you get the idea.

All said I feel angry at the entire MMORPG genre. Brad McQuiad's disregard for the fundamental rules of MMORPG gaming like server population and stability killed Vanguard and scared the rest of the third gen MMORPG's into pushing back their releases until 2008. If a game isn't ready I'm not going to advocate releasing it but at the same time the only offering we have had since Lineage 2 is WoW. WoW is a great game to a lot of people but to the traditional MMORPGer it doesn't fit the bill.

Lineage 2 released in 2004 and what have we seen since then (WoW aside)?? We have seen sub par titles trying to capitalize on the MMORPG market by pumping out crap games to make some quick cash and the rogue wonderings of developers lost in their own minds (Brad McQuaid). 

Warhammer looks OK but I probably won't want to play it either. Darkfall, Age of Conan, and Huxley are all I have to look forward too and Huxley has some serious hurdles ahead in my opinion. When the 1st and 2nd gens were releasing I was moving from game to game and enjoying them all.....I moved games because something I thought was better cam out. not because the game was "bad". My how things have changed.......
