    Let me preface this post with a couple warnings.
    1) I'm a little drunk at the moment.
    2) I know I'm a newb here, but still...

    So I'm new to owning an alienware lapotp, and am somewhat of an MMO enthusiast, so I'm curous, what MMOs tickle your fancies?
    I understand most of the features on a high end gaming laptop gear you more easily toward any FPS game, but still, I'm just curious, what are people excited about being able to play/after playing in the beta of are disappointed.

    There are NO right or wrong answers to this thread, and the game doesn't even have to be a proper opened or closed beta or even an "MMO", I'm just curious...
    What are you playing or excited about playing on your hot $hit machine?

    Currently I'm playing LOTRO, and am excited about Champions Online, Dragon Age Origions, the fully voiced Star Wars The Old Republic, and a few others that aren't that noteworthy.

    I'd kick it old school. Diablo 2. Phantasy Star Online Blue Burst. Guild Wars. Been playing those 3 in that order, shuffling between them.

    Alright! Drunk and posting. I usually get in trouble for doing that :p

    Aion looks really good. I can't find out how to get into the beta, but I've been following it and looks great. It will put your M17x to the test. Built on the CryEngine.

    I've been playing WAR and it's been quite enjoyable. Warhammer: Age of Reckoning, I mean. Very easy to pick up and play.

    I recommend The Lord of the Rings Online. It's the most fun I've ever had with a subscription-based MMO. And yes, I've played WoW too.

    World of Warcraft is a relatively unknown game mired in obscurity atm, but I think it has potential to gather a large user base.....you might want to check it out. worldofwarcraft.com I think is the website, but it is somewhat unpolished.

    I'm surprised no one has mentioned Runes of Magic yet. Some call it a WoW clone but you need to try the game for yourself to see that it's got some crucial differences that make it unique. It's completely free to play with optional cash items, and its user base has been growing rapidly since it was released late last year.
