There are lots of action MMOs we are waiting for in 2011 but unfortunately many of them won't come out until 2012. The popular action MMOs we can play this year include Dragon Nest, Vindictus, Hunter Blade, and perhaps, Rusty Hearts and Divine Soul.
Dragon Nest does well in SEA and NA in 2011 but still doesn't release in EU
There's no doubt that they have cool actions, shining visual effect, and adrenaline-pumping combat. The sweet thing of those games are they can have splendid combos, they can be non-targeting, and they can be breathtaking, but the problem of them is they lack of open world experience, or in other words, they are dungeon-based. Some players probably get bored after play for a while and some may question the "massive" of those games.
Vindictus will have raid (sort of) in Episode 10
Here comes the opportunity for the upcoming action games in 2012. Blade & Soul, as many of you may come to this game first, a visual extravaganza with beautiful eastern world and almost NSFW characters, has the potential to overtake other action games, and the significant difference between Blade & Soul and other action games is that B&S does delve into story. The only question is that when will the game be released. Since Guild Wars 2 is very likely to come out in 2012, when and how will NCsoft push Blade & Soul to (western) market is unknown.
I'll play a female character, for sure
If Blade & Soul is still too far away, then how about C9? You may hate the fact that it always takes a year or two to bring a Korean MMO to western market. Fortunately the wait for C9 is almost over and the game will kick off global test in February 2012. Basically C9 is a dungeon-based game, but the developer makes the world like an open one. The good thing is that C9 has more combat skills than other games. You can make normal/primary attacks or secondary/charged attacks with your mouse, and you can use normal and combo skills by pressing certain buttons on your keyboard. What's more, you can jump, block, kick, roll left and right.
