With the supposed delay to WAR I might end up playing Age of Conan. I'll also be screwing around with Mythos.

Assuming AoC releases well and on time (and this is a mighty assumption), I'll play that for awhile. Ideally, I'd like WAR to be released while I'm still interested in AoC so that when I do switch, all the post-release bugs/lacks of content will be at least somewhat remedied. First time for real, MMO choices and I can't wait!

Huxley has been in development for how long? I doubt you will see that one any time soon, it could be MIA like duke nukem forever. I would also love to see WAR out but its getting smashed with the delay stick as of lately so untill it truely goes gold, it will be very iffy.

Warhmmar by far. I know that everyone seems to see it as a WoW knock off with better PVP and to that I say: w00t! The energy that the team at Mythic has shown combined with what has already been released about the game leads me to believe that Warhammer will be extremely popular, not necessarily for the casual gamer, but for the experienced MMO veteran who wants all the polish of WoW, but with tangible/meaningful PVP.
Sure, it won't crush WoW...but it should make me damn happy.

Warhammer cannot be a WoW knock off since the whole Warcraft game series was inspired by Warhammer.
Secondly, it looks like I'll be giving Pirates of the Burning Sea a whirl. I played beta and it has good potential. I've pre-ordered it and the 2 week headstart before actual launch will help me decide if I will pick up the retail game or cancel my pre-order.
Lastly, I really wish there was a Dark Age of Camelot 2 or Ultima Online 2 coming out. They are/were such great games but could both really benefit from getting a modern overhaul while keeping the features that made them great.
