It might be 'most anticipated' on game sites that are primarily about Blizzard products. I don't know that that is true anywhere else.
Lots of people have tried to do MMO's since 2005. Most of them have had WoW's success as the yardstick against which they are measured. That's dumb at this point because it's very clear that WoW was a freak thing at the time and no one at Blizzard or anywhere else expected it to do as well as it did.
Don't know if we'll ever get anything new and fresh. What are your ideas? It has to start somewhere with someone and a bright idea.
