ArenaNet has announced that they won't be appearing at E3 -- their big convention season announcement was that Guild Wars 2 will be playable at other venues. Turbine dropped the free-to-play bomb just over a week ago.
It seems like we just might have reached our quota of huge MMO announcements this week, but since E3 has not been cancelled, we can only assume that there's more to come. Massively will be bringing you all the latest E3 news this week, but in the meantime, we want to know what you are hoping and expecting to hear from the event.
Will Jumpgate Evolution announce a launch date? What further details will we get on LotRO's item shop? Will the Warhammer 40k MMO blow our minds?

FFXIV Beta info. Alpha has been moving along swimmingly these past few weeks. Time for it to graduate.

A new race or two in Final Fantasy XIV. I'd be contented with nothing more than that.

FF14 news really, outside of that not much at E3 this year is of any interest to me.

Serious Jumpgate stuff. No bs cutscene vids or PR gibberish. I want solid gameplay vids. I want beta. I want release date. Ándale!

Since there won't be GW2 and I've stopped subcribing to free Realms, all I'm more than casually interested in is:
> SW:TOR, specifically; any graphical wows, and for hands-on reports that the gameplay itself is more than the same-old MMO fare.
> Clone Wars Adventures.
> That ambitious barely-seen RPG where the professions are collectible or soemthing? I can't even remember it's name...

I hope to see TOR info like the stuff DarthHater has already noticed:

http://darthhater.com/2010/06/12/gamespot-e3-the-old-republic-hands-on/
The GameSpot Hands-On is especially informative, and I hope to hear even more. Last year's E3 we got Coruscant announced just before/during E3, so I want another planet reveal at E3 at least.

What's in the plan for Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning? Will there be any form of expansion pack? What planning is going into 1.4?
To be honest, any solid information about where this game is going in terms of content would be great. Because the May (June) Producer letter answered some highly debated topics.
But it also left the readers with an impression that no idea/suggestion would be dismissed, and anything is possible. Although that sounds nice and easy on the ears, one wants more concrete facts and less "maybe".

I don't think so man. I don't play the game, but friends of mine do; last time I looked, they were running around with plenty of other folks in the game world.
Seems like WAR is polishing itself up pretty nicely.
Thing about all these "next-gen" MMOs that are coming out, is half of them will be as undercooked as AoC was 2 years ago. WAR was the promised WoW-killer. AoC was the promised WoW-killer. LOTRO? Same deal.
All three games have matured into something fantastic, with reputable player-bases in all of them. I know The Secret World, FFXIV, TOR, TERA, Rifts...etc. All of these games look beyond promise. But until something tangible comes along, its all PR smoke up our butts.
Now, I realize you probably didn't mean to infer much of a statement at all; you were just poking fun. But I just mean to say, don't hold your breath. Don't be a cynic either, but the past has shown that these games need time to mature. WAR will likely still be around for several more years to come, until the next batch of MMOs matures beyond its scope.

Id like to hear about Dust and the WOD MMO from CCP and perhaps get a general release date for both or at least one. With GW2 not going Id have to say my next most looked for thing is not so much MMO related in that I want a good look at project natal from Microsoft.

Not Ithat I expect any details from Turbine on LotRO's cash shop at E3, I would like to see details on it, as this might determine if I stay subscribed or not.

I want to hear more on DCUO. Because if it turns out like I hope. It will be the best superhero game in its genre.
