A community watchtower
We are searching for the next great online world.
Worlds in Waiting is where scouts, veterans, builders and streamers gather to discover, document and discuss upcoming MMORPGs, persistent worlds and player-driven game worlds — before they launch. It is the spirit of the old fansite era, rebuilt for the next frontier.

Contribution mattered then. It matters here.
In the fansite era, ordinary players became important voices by writing guides, gathering information and documenting the worlds they loved. Worlds in Waiting is built on that idea: a place where your contribution is visible and valued.
