Any Other Contenders?

With over 5 million subscribers now, I doubt Blizzard is going to be worried about anyone stealing all their thunder anytime soon, but there are a few upcoming entries in the MMORPG sweepstakes looming on the horizon; could any of them be big enough to take a bite out of Blizzard's pie?

After all, the grandaddy of all RPG's is finally coming to online life in February in the form of Dungeons & Dragons Online . The Turbine title is now beta testing & garnering some exciting word-of-mouth, and the built-in fanbase alone could initially lure a good chunk of players from WoW. Some dark horse titles, such as Pirates of the Burning Sea or Auto Assault, could also draw some players away, with some innovative elements & fresh settings that haven't yet been explored in many other MMORPG's.

Are there any other games out there whetting your appetites, or are you fully satisfied with your diet of WoW?
