Seems there is some good Sci-fi titles coming out fairly soon. We have Earthrise, Jump Gate Evolution, Stargate Worlds, and the rumored KotOR MMO. Is anyone else as excited as me to finally get out of the fantasy dominated genre and back into some good ole fashion Sci-Fi? |

Been waiting since SWG for another sci-fi MMO.
EDIT: Completely off-topic, but of some interest to sci-fi fans. Tor's web site has some eBooks available for free on their web site (http://tor.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=blog&id=577). Thanks to Raph's website for this link ( speaking of SWG :p ). |

I stayed away from EVE, heard it was brutal for new people (vs. veterans). |

I can't decide what I'm most excited about. Being a huge Star Wars fan, I'm naturally excited about a KotOR MMO, even though I have a feeling it will be a linear WoW clone, which isn't what I'm looking for. I'm pretty excited about Earthrise as it sounds very sand boxy, I just hope it can deliver. Tonight was the first time I looked at Jump Gate Evolution, and quite honestly I think it looks really cool. Never played(or even heard of) the original and the basic idea is very interesting, on top of the fact that I have been a combat flight sim fan for all of my gaming career. It's a very exciting time for MMO's for me, as the last couple years have been very dull, repetitive, and disappointing, the next year or two looks very promising and exciting. |

It's not that bad, you should be able to kill vets after 1 month of playing. I'm an swg vet too and find there's alot of similar features. |

Nostalgia is bad. |
Yes, I've been watching those titles. Anyone any idea which is likely to come out first? And when? |

You kill the Joe, you make some moe |
Its hard to say since none of these games are out yet, and its still possible for them to suck hard when they are released, much in similar fashion to AoC. Will have to wait and see. |

Google "MMORPGMaker" if you want to make your own MMORPG. |

Yes, and no. I would like to see some sci-fi titles, but I don't have any confidence that any of the ones you listed will be any good. I definitely want to play as a person, not as a spaceship like in EVE. It's not sci-fi exactly, but I did like City of Heroes. It was a nice change from the fantasy genre. Isn't a Star Trek MMO on the way as well? |
