Pretty much every MMO I've ever played didn't get me particularly addicted, just entertained enough to play on and off for a few months until I delete it.

Arxon Havenloft · 9th May 2008, 07:49

Ultima Online of course.. Though before it became Item-Based and they added retarded crap such as resistances and luck, etc.. I actually prefer the game the most before Trammel was introduced, but a lot of good things were added afterwards that do contribute to why I believe that UO was the best game ever. Such as customizable housing, plant growing, vet rewards, factions, etc..

Edit: There are way too many WoW votes in this poll than there should be. This almost gives me concern for how this game is going to turn out.. WoW only did a couple of things great. Such as UI customization (Note that I did not say Mods or Addons just UI tools), keybindings menu, actually I cannot think of anything else honestly. Professions sucked, pvp sucked, quests sucked, leveling sucked, classes were imbalanced, Item binding sucked, instances sucked, too much travel time to get to locations, etc...

I have played UO/SB/DAoC/Guild Wars (if you can count guild wars as an MMO)

Id say UO is by far the best out of those 4

SB was good but I felt they took to many short cuts making the game.

DAoC was a decent game (my wife really enjoyed it) but underneath a decent RvR system it was just an EQ clone with better PvP and sieges

Guild Wars is what it is nuff said

Lyllyth · 15th June 2008, 19:51

Irth Worlds,

Though it was buggy as all hell and then all support for it went kapoot!
But, the idea behind the game was excellent. The map was huge! No Classes, completely Character-Skill-Based.

Now, if only there were an MMORPG with a world map the size of Daggerfall's... (anyone ever try to cross that without fast travel?)

Shintuk · 18th June 2008, 02:17

The first 6 months of SB for sure

jdodger · 18th June 2008, 15:04

On so many levels, EVE is the best MMO ever made. The impersonal nature of the spaceship genre is the only thing that really kills it for me.

WoW is good at what it does and if you think outside the box you can have a lot of fun. If Wow wasn't so ridiculously treadmill-like and level-restricted it'd have my vote.

Lineage 2 is such a horrendous game but for a long time its PvP was great. Many many memories both good and bad from that game.

I suppose EVE gets my vote strictly from the theoretical perspective. Here's to hoping a game can come out with such an amazingly dynamic economic and political system in a fantasy setting.

Necromantic · 18th June 2008, 17:00

I clearly had to vote UO, because those years were probably the best in all my gaming life.

OMGPIE · 18th June 2008, 20:59

WoW I haven't played UO so I can't say anything about how good it is.

Deja vu · 23rd June 2008, 19:17

UO was #1

DAoC and SB are the other 2 I liked

Totally agree, I feel with you brother.
But my time with WoW has ended since long ago.
The new addiction can come: Mortal Online im waiting for you!

Lyllyth · 24th June 2008, 21:28

WoW definitely had a good interface... And I liked that it could be modded to appear just about any way you wanted it to.

OMGPIE · 24th June 2008, 22:43

Ya I liked the UI setup but it got way too repetitive.

Warscream · 25th June 2008, 10:26

Hello Kitty Online ftw, wohooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!

Anthredin · 2nd July 2008, 18:36

I only played WoW, LotRO and AoC, but LotRO was (and it`s still) my favourite game.

LotRO is the only MMO account I currently have... Though, I may cancel it, haven't played in over a week.

Infernus · 4th July 2008, 09:31

uo...gave player a lot of freedom and opportunities.

Reclusiarch · 4th July 2008, 15:12

World of Warcraft FTW!

I loved that game for over two years.

Mantra · 8th July 2008, 12:01

Ultima Online!

I doubt I'll ever find another game like it. Though my hopes are higher than ever now. Thank you MO!

Dethdealer · 8th July 2008, 13:33

I hate to pick the obvious... but WoW is the best. That being said, I never played the top pick, Ultima Online. But, as sick of WoW we all may be, you can't deny that Blizzard just about perfected the MMO genre with their game. Things have taken a turn for the worse, though with the extreme focus on BG, Arena and PVP. It is all so fake and pasted on as a band-aid. The game hasn't been the same since they introduced honor.

MattPuerto · 8th July 2008, 22:09

Voted for SWG Pre CU. Even if many aspects of the game were broken, I have never experienced that kind of immersion again. The factions, the guild cities, the hologrind, the skill based lvling, the bounty hunters .. man those were good times.

ServerLatency · 9th July 2008, 00:05

Guildwars... Best On/Off again relationship I've ever been in! She's low maitenance...and she's always waiting for when I come back. Actually...I can't go long with being away from her.

Slash · 9th July 2008, 05:22

EQ2 for me.

Arkane · 9th July 2008, 06:07

Out of all those games listed I went with Dark Age of Camelot.

There are very few features that I'd like to see in any game that would be from WoW. Other than Customizable UI, and maybe a thing or two that I cannot think of at the moment, I don't ever want to see another WoW feature again!

Of all of the games that I've ever played Ultima Online has come the closests to perfection. They get the award for that. Of course they also get the award for being the most ruined game by it's developers that I've ever played so meh...

Naizaghai · 17th July 2008, 10:10

Ultima Online pre-Age of Shadows content.

holahola · 17th July 2008, 12:28

I tryed UO for the first time in 98' i think. But i wasn't very old and my english really sucked. So i gave up.

But the last 8 years i played UO on and off, tryed lots MMO's, but i haven't really found anything like it.
I still enjoy UO today. Alot. Sure it had its up and downs, specially after AoS.

But today the PvP is balanced okayish.
I don't ever think i will find a game where you need so much player skill. The 2d view is simply fantastic for teamplay. Better then anything out there.
And the Faction days in UO. Ohh my, so much fun!

UO #1 !
