[Lhancelot]

I don't have the attention span to read the wall of text (sorry OP).

I also don't work myself up into excitement over games until they are about to go live. By that point usually there's videos of the game and talk about how it went in beta etc., so I have an idea what to expect.

So many disappointments in the past regarding a new MMO, I just refuse to cross bridges before I get to them nowadays.

I suspect Pantheon or Camelot Unchained have good chances of success, but those the only ones I read on that appear to have solid structure and footing to make a splash.
