Only MMO I'm following properly. Bit dubious about small budget, but feature list seems to match my desires and company philosophy matches my own so I'm hopeful.
2. Chronicles of Elyria
I heard great things about Chronicles of Spellborn's combat system but I missed out. On paper, CoE seems great, I'm just not particularly excited about the game world itself and it does seem like they are being very ambitious in their list of features.
3. Crowfall
Low expectations of this game so not following it much and am unlikely to play it, but will re-evaluate closer to launch to see if it might be something I wanna play.
No other MMOs have caught my eye. A lot of the upcoming smaller MMOs have great features listed but the IPs seem very generic and I'm dubious about their ability to achieve their goals. However, as they're so far away from release I'll just wait and see what they're like closer to release.

I wonder why people arent more interested in Crowfall, for me its looks very interesting and it looks already very good, smooth gameplay and nice graphic / art style.
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
My interest is based on quality and quality usually is followed with high budget, but not always. As far as I know in terms of budget and quality of all what's coming Star Citizen is the only game I can be hyped about coming with 125+ mil budget.
Long time i dont have big expectation about upcoming mmos, however i keep a eye on them special close to release date. I dont like follow paper projects, neither alpha and beta stages, only care about release versions.
- The only one i keep checking from time to time and is far away from released is Camelot Unchained, but is still "wait and see".
- Other i keep myself a little informed is BDO after watching some video about the future naval combat, maybe i jump in when released.
For now im happy playing the current one and dont see nothing real special on horizont, i may change my mind at any moment tho
There's a name that pops up every 6 months or so, they still working on this? Been so long in coming I would have thought they had all wandered away by now.

I would say that I don't have a top 5. Just Pantheon and now dark and light.
If Dragon's Dogma online ever came to the West then I would add that. Otherwise, there's not much else.
Same two for me. May try BDO but that game has been such a roller coaster I have been waiting for it to settle down. Does not seem to know what kinda game it wants to be. I may drop $100 on Pantheon and support my first crowd funded game.
Nothing that's coming out soon. Maybe in a year or three.

Pantheon first followed by Shards... I guess I will check out CU, Lineage: Eternal and maybe Crowfall but I just list them because you wanted 5 games, I don't have much hope for them but it would be nice if I were wrong.
I backing Pantheon with $100, it is the only crowdfunding I ever done. It has way higher potential for me then the others, even if some parts of Shards seems really cool.
Pay attention to all, but following none really. Never know what a game will fully be like until its actually released, but willing to give every game a shot if it looks interesting enough.
I would have to say though I enjoy mmos, not a single 1 has ever been something I loved, as what I am looking for really has not been made. So we shall see what the future holds.

For me personally, there are a few main things putting me off Crowfall.
1) Action Combat
This really is the biggest thing for me. I hate action combat. Action combat games lack depth, which means I'll get bored within a short amount of time. Its not that I can't keep up, I still have the reflexes and still do well in all action combat games I play, I just find them dull.
2) Art Style
Just can't get behind it. Seem to be a mix of asian influences, medieval fantasy and some greek mythology, all with a cartoony finish. The cartoon finish pretty much excludes me from being able to connect to the game (im 30, not 12)
3) Persistent World
This is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, I love the idea that campaigns are limited in duration so that we aren't fighting over the same 2 or 3 spots for years on end. On the other hand, I like virtual worlds where I can make an impact. Crowfall seems like we'll be spending our time in instanced campaigns, followed by returning to instanced kingdoms. It doesn't sounds like there is anywhere to go and explore. There will be no equivalent of the shire or Rivendell, no Coruscant or Tattooine - just player made kingdoms and short term campaigns. This means there is nothing to get attached to, nothing to add meaning to the endless combat.
Crowfall does have a lot of great features and I'm sure it'll be fun, but the way they've set it up it really seems aimed at short term fun. The only system in place that looks like long-term objectives is the eternal kingdoms but it sounds like this is mainly focused on crafters and giving guilds the ability to build a castle together.

idk I feel like star citizen being an mmo is debateable but thats not the point, the 2nd one I guess is...
2. Star Citizen
cant come up with anymore than that.
But the acronym MMMORPG now currently means Microscopic Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game. Kappa.
I would have to say though I enjoy mmos, not a single 1 has ever been something I loved, as what I am looking for really has not been made. So we shall see what the future holds.
