Invasion of the Asian mmo?

Everywhere you look, whether on a splash page of your favorite website or flooded with F2P by every single one of them (except FFXIV). I never seen so many Asian mmo's (Aion, Lineage, Tera, Archlord, ArcheAge, AoW, Swordsman and I could go on).
I remotely at one time was interested in (AoW) however auto path in my mmo's is not my thing. Are we still stuck with what we got that aren't of a Asian idea's?
The only thing I see good on the horizon would be EQN for long term fun in a mmorpg. What we got now for mmo's in the last 5 years is just utter crap that last only for at least 1 to 2 months of game play. Time has certainly change in gaming online.

And I bet you there's a guy in Shanghai who is saying, "Everywhere you look, all you see are these western-style MMOs, like World of Warcraft, The Old Republic, DC Heroes, The Elder Scrolls Online, Everquest, Everquest II, Everquest Next," ect.
When are they going to come out with a good MMO that isn't western-themed?

Since the West has accepted F2P you can bet on seeing more and more Asian type of games. Some might be fun some might not be and some should simple be avoided.
I don't see it as a invasion. Just pretty normal due to simply knowing how connected the world is today.
If we had made better cars, we wouldn't have had an Asian invasion there either.
Think about it.
