I check every once and a while for new MMO's, but haven't found anything that has really grabbed me like EQ and FFXI. FFXI got me to stick around because it had an EQ feel and level of difficulty at the start. Making your first run to Jeuno to get that choco license through the Highlands and getting your Taru smashed by a tremor ram along the way was the feels.
It seems like the MMO genre has shifted almost entirely to survival and FPS games and there's less interest in the deep RPG side of multiplayer games. I'm pretty burnt out on the survival stuff because it's mostly just reskins of the last popular survival game. Holding out some hope for Pantheon to pull us back to our MMORPG roots at least a little, but I wouldn't make any bets on it.
