It was fun while it lasted, but we are seeing more people leave World of Warcraft than are joining.  The people that have been there since the beginning are losing interest at a rapid pace, and the people just starting are outmatched.  We are all wondering.. what’s next?

Wired has 3 options coming in the next year:  “Age of Conan”,”Pirates of the Burning Sea”, and “Warhammer Online”.  http://www.wired.com/gaming/virtualworld…

Ymiris has tried the Pirates game and was not wholly impressed, but said it may be worth something.  I am personally looking forward to Warhammer myself, as it looks to be more magic-based than Pirates (I’m a sucker for pretty colors), but I would say either of those are worth a beta attempt, based on the reviews summary.  Conan looks to be truly PvP based, and that gets old quickly, at least for Ymiris & me.

If you have tried, or heard of, any new MMO’s, please let us know!
