None of those games are currently worth a sub, if anything its probably the state of them all that is one of the contributing reasons why WoW suddenly has over 10 million subs again
None of those are worth a sub. There are only 3 games out there which worth a sub in my opinion. And they are WoW, FFXIV and Eve. That's all. There are a lot of mmos trying to be different and wants to be the best. But they're forgeting something. There is a more a important thing for the success. And that is the quality. These three games are the most polish and quality games out there. That's why these are the only successful p2p games. And the follow-ups would be Swtor and Gw2. I won't pay a dime for any other mmorpg other than these 5 out there. Maybe someday there will be a better game which deserves the money we pay.
Edit: When I said only successful p2p games for those three I didn't talk for the whole world. Since I can't play any asian game for today I can only talk about EU and US. So I'm not talking about Lineage 1(Which I played and loved in the past) or Blade&Soul etc...
I agree that for me none of those are worth a sub. If I had to pick one it would be AA, simply because it's free and I don't want to own land, so I can login and play for a short while from time to time.

Archeage is like most said a piece of crap. The game has some potential, but it is so poorly managed its hard to justify giving them money. Hacks have been in the game since Alpha and not fixed, along with bots everywhere and no land available. One of the main points of AA is crafting / building stuff and you simply can not find any open land. When land becomes available it is grabbed by land hackers. I have seen it first hand. The worst part is Trion does not acknowledge this or apologize they just keep on rolling on.....It is sad really.
Paying for wildstar is really just money down the drain. If you wait a few months it will be free and even then it still wont be worth a download. AA is free already so might as well try it if you want. ESO is slowly becoming more worth a sub Zenimax is improving it.
AA for sure not, ESO heard to many horror stories, ... would gladly resub to Wildstar ... IF they remove that SILLY 1 TOOLBAR LIMITATION! That for me is fun killer, simple as that. Sole reason I left also TSW. Leave to player if he want to have 10 toolbars with skills or just playing through whole game by pressing just one single button.
I can only speak for ESO, if you have not played it I would say pick that. If you have played it and are thinking of coming back I would say wait till the new year. Players who leave inside of six months need that sort of timescale or they drop out again within a month or two.
If you admit suggestions about MMORPG with subscription, try FF XIV if you like theme park MMORPG with tab combat system. Solid community and solid company, IMHO. Only sub MMORPG I would pay for currently with views on long term playing.
these games are the very reason WoW is back to 10.000.000 subscriptions these days ...

This.
The only game that worth a sub it's WOW,maybe ESO would have a chance if the classes and combat system would'nt sucks bad.
If you can't stand WOW just keep your money and hope that ZOS gives ESO a fix at the ugly classes(all people running around with staves and robes regardless of the archetipe choice) and of course better end game content because time trial and dungeons are just silly now,just dps and heal spam.
I would go with AA. People that tell you that all the land is taken by bots were not playing since week 2. Now with a little persistency and few days time it's super easy to take land. And gold seller spam is less than what i see in WoW.
[mod editI for example started as a free2play player for my first 40 days in AA, now i have 3x 16x16 farms and 1x 24x24 without spending 1$ or ever using any cheats - this on one of the busiests EU servers. And this with just few hours play a day.

Well if you have a big fat wallet...they all are!!
Go back to Wylf's post. He got it right. He wins!!
FFA Nonconsentual Full Loot PvP ...You know you want it!!
Kinda terrible animations there for TESO
On topic though, I wouldn't play TESO/WS even if they were free. ArcheAge is dope. The games I would pay for are sadly not in this list.
AA is not worth the sub.
If you like to explore and to do interesting quests then go for ESO.
Wildstar I dunno. Is not my game.
Play My magic Tales
Play Rise of Immortals
Play Regno card game for free.
Premium membership available.
That werewolf video is pretty cool, first time I have seen one in pvp - when I played there were quite a few vampires though.
Watching all four videos, the difference in the animations, lighting/graphics, and intensity of combat is pretty amazing.
I would play FFXIV ARR if it was a buy to play like GW2.
ESO would be probably the only game worth it for a subscription with all its content.
Archeage and Wildstar = Garbage

Apparently that dude (or gal) believes everyone who doesnt have their opinion must be lying.
Archeage and Wildstar have no future and they are P2W.
ESO is the only one P2P and definitely has a future (due to strong ip fans).
Yes that game is definitely not worth a subscription.
I can only speak for ESO, if you have not played it I would say pick that. If you have played it and are thinking of coming back I would say wait till the new year. Players who leave inside of six months need that sort of timescale or they drop out again within a month or two.
- AA if you like Farmville and you can play each day to attend your farms (or each 2 days at most). If you don't, go as f2p player.
- Wilstard if you like theme park MMORPG with action combat system and you like preparing yourself and doing big raids.
- ESO. I have not played it since beta. I cannot give you advice. It is on sale on Steam this weekend: 18.96 €. Worth a try for this price.
