DDO's gone full gay and retarded and of the MMOs out there this looks the least shitty.

How shitty is it?

I played it for a few hours and it wasn't awful. The graphics were beautiful and the mechanics seemed sound.

You should also take a look at Shroud of the Avatar, its a new MMO getting ready to launch, and its made by the guy who created Ultima Online.
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

Riders Of Icarus definitely looks interesting, wonder how they are monetizing it?

A lot of those are definitely worth a look. I'm scared, though; I've been burned before...

Unless Warframe has changed drastically in the past year or so, it doesn't deserve a spot on that list.

It was essentially just a character and weapon leveling treadmill with the same 6-8 mission types ad nauseum.  I generally don't mind grind for character improvements (I'm still playing DDO after all), but I was over that game in about a month.

I noticed LotRO wasn't in that list.

Do not try the patience of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger.

We are dreamers, shapers, singers, and makers. We study the mysteries of laser and circuit, crystal and scanner, holographic demons and invocation of equations. These are the tools we employ, and we know many things.

The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

They announced an open world expansion in near future iirc
With some improved gameplay, jetpacks and other bells and whistles

I can't imagine anyone outside of obsessed fan-boys with hard ons for hobbits playing that piece of shit game.

It's not even pay to win, it's pay to make the tedious, repetitive and pointless tasks go slightly quicker.

TLDR answer: No

GNR answer: Spent some hours trying to get into GW2. Played Warrior, Thief, Ele, Ranger. Got a few sessions in on each class. Could not be arsed to play this for more than a couple weeks. Slightly more interesting than Elder Scrolls Online.

I'm fairly certain breaking rocks with a hammer in the hot sun is still at least slightly more interesting than ESO.

not really...

PRO:
- the combat itself is better than DDO. You have to be somewhat reactive and at least amount some skill...
- PVP is one of the most fun I played. Sadly, I never bought the expansion so I couldn't play the P2W classes. But it was still fun!

ASS:
- All classes feels the same, and the lack of reward for spending time in the game really sucks, DDO has overpaid their customers a wee bit too much in this department.
- got bored real fast (only 2-3 months!)
