3 words. Age of Conan. Picture doing a long, wide roll of the joystick for a power swing of your sword or axe, quick jabs by pressing forward a bunch. Different button combinations and sequences cast spells and abilities. Time hitting the X button to parry. WoW is retarded because it is almost entirely gear dependent (& on your PC system) and only slightly skill based. Most MMOs are. Personally I don't have the time to invest in endless dungeon raids for one stupid item that only means I play way too much. I am hoping Age of Conan and Huxley will balance this a bit better, not giving those with no social lives a clear upper hand in combat.
2 MMOs coming out for 360 (sometime...) Both look excellent, and are based on some amazing literature.
