Vault Network's 2009 MMO Watch List

IGN's Vault Network has put together profiles of about 20 MMORPGs that will likely be released within the next twelve months. Among them you'll find Darkfall Online, Champions Online, DC Universe Online, and Star Wars: The Old Republic.
At the time of writing, GameStats shows Star Wars: The Old Republic as the PC game generating the most 'community buzz' right now. The Galactic Republic stood for generations as a bastion of peace in a galaxy of warring star systems. Protected by its stalwart Jedi guardians, the Republic held the greatest hope for the progress of civilization and galactic unity. Deep in unknown space, however, a mighty Sith Empire was forged, led by dark Sith Lords who dreamt of galactic domination and vengeance against their ancient Jedi enemies. After centuries of preparation, the time came for the Sith to make their return.
There are just way too many massively multiplayer titles in development. Based on recent history, a large number of them are probably doomed.
