While many of the Massively staffers weren't able to make it to Seattle for the recently concluded PAX Prime event, all of us followed the coverage smorgasbord in anticipation of learning just a little bit more about all of the new MMORPGs coming down the pipe.
Whether it was Guild Wars 2, Star Wars: The Old Republic, TERA, or Rift: Planes of Telara, the convention featured a little something for all of us. The question of the day, dear readers, is all about you. Were there any juicy PAX revelations that tickled your fancy? Did anything change your mind, make you more or less excited, or come completely out of left field?
Inquiring Massively minds want to know.

For me the big winner is GW2.
I litterally did not follow the game up until now and it completly "won" me over.
On the other hand I followed SW:TOR since somewhere 2008 and I left feeling very uninterested in the game after PAX. I was hoping to finally get some real meat but that didn't really happen. Though thats completly up to personal taste.
The 1 thing that really stood out to me, was to see that footprints are back in GW2.
It sounds like a very small and silly detail but it really made me quite happy.

Ahahah! Footprints! I thought the exact same thing, and am glad to see them return as well :).

Those who have read my other comments, will know its Rift. Pre PAX/Gamescom I went from not interested at all, to mildly interested in the story. Into Gamescom I was intrigued, but didn't have enough info. Post-PAX I am in love, and now looking up every little bit of info I can, Massively or (usually..) otherwise.

Definitely Guild Wars 2 for me, every extra bit of information about this game seems to make it sound even better.
It was nice to see the demo backed up all of these claims with real code!

Trion seemed to read my mind that I *would* be interested in high fantasy, but ONLY if it contained many sweet twists. Even just the Defiant and their fantasy-punk is enough, but I've seen enough to know there's more to it that they're keeping heavily under wraps.
Can't wait to explore Telara.

Not really a revelation but I loved the SWTOR trailer. Wasn't expecting to see HK-47 again!

GW2 has most of my attention at the moment. I wasn't expecting anything of it but so far I am quite pleased with the things I have seen and read about it.
I also have some hopes for Tera, Vindictus and FireFall.
But SWTOR keeps surprising me with its dropping quality with each video I see about it...

Of all the coverage I saw coming out of PAX, Firefall was by far the most exciting reveal.
I love the simplicity of an equipment based progression coupled with small and massive team play against a common enemy across the world.
The game play video was great, really looking forward to trying the beta, especially as the game will be free to play.
