Aion looks ok-ish (mainly the flying & deity wars crap), but apart from the
visuals & hype, there just doesn't seem to be the variety of race/class &
things to do that the more mature mmos give you (not from just reading about
it sight unseen anyway). I just can't get excited about it tbh & would
rather play some more LOTRO or D2 or GW until the next great mmo comes out.
I've been using this site/e-zine & mmorpg to keep tabs on upcoming mmos:

The only ones I'm really excited about (as much as you can get about these
things pre-release) are Star Trek Online, SW:TOR & GW2. Jumpgate Evo may be
ok, but will probably just turn into a gankfest. There are others, but with
lots of question marks. Did you catch this article on the E3 mmo round-up
perhaps?:
