What MMO Are/Were You Most Hyped For?
The new year is barely a month old and the 2016 MMO line-up continues to grow. It's easy to get whirled away on the hype-train express in eager anticipation of an upcoming title.
I was amped for WildStar, spoon-fed excitement by online communities and gossip from friends telling me that World of Warcraft's killer was about to be unleashed. Hype rarely lives up to the final product, regardless of the medium—whether it be games, movies, or television shows. But I happily get swept each time a new title is peering over the horizon.
Now that Blade and Soul has kicked off the new year there are a few titles pinging my hype-radar that I can't help but feel a little giddy for:
Black Desert Online
Tree of Savior
Lost Ark
Albion Online
Crowfall
Escape From Tarkov
Gloria Victis
Shards Online
Even Star Citizen is claiming a 2016 release (and if it does I'll be winning a glorious bet). Not all of the aforementioned titles are guaranteed to release this year but with each passing month I can't help but anticipate playing (I'm still waiting for Starcraft: Ghost). And maybe this year the hype will live up to the final product.

From Mega Man II to Ape Escape, I've been playing games for as long as I can remember. I've spent months killing porings in Ragnarok Online and more recently lived a second life in Eve Online. I usually play as gUMBY, gUMBLEoni, or gUMBLes in-game.
