    Well...the next big one is Star Wars The Old Republic.

    But are you only into Fantasy themed mmos?

    You can check out mmorpg.com for current and upcoming releases.

    I enjoyed WoW. Currently taking a break due to school work, but will likely be getting back to WoW in a couple of months.

    I've heard good things about Guild Wars, especially how it has no monthly fee like most other MMOs.

    The Old Republic like everyone else is saying for sure.

    Also, check out The Secret World (IGN just had a preview of it, it comes out in 2 days so you can check reviews soon). It was made by FunCom, the developer that made Age of Conan. It looks like it could be a fun alternative to the average grinder.

    1. Guild Wars is VERY solid game played it 4 years now. PVP is top notch great graphics and is non cpu/gpu taxing at that. should keep ya hooked for a bit.
    2. Guild Wars 2 is coming soon.
    3. AION is similar to Guild Wars in play style in a fantasy setting. good all around
    4. Star Wars The Old Republic, Of Course is a big deal
    5. Dungeons and Dragons Online went Free play its worth picking up for change of pace type game. Plays alot like LOTRO (Lord Of The Rings Online)
    6. Star Trek *gag* but to each their own.
    7. Stargate Online. I like the show but unsure of how good the game will be.
    8. Eve Online never played it heard alot about it. space flight/battles sounds intresting.
    9. heard alot of good about Warhammer Online.

    Interplay the origional makers of Fallout is making a MMO in conjunction with Bethesda based on the Fallout setting codename Project V13 Supposed july 2010 release
