Best MMORPG you've played?

What's the best MMORPG you've played?
I realise that not all games is on this list. If you wan't to vote on another game... choose other and write what game in your comment.

Ravenwoods · 14th April 2008, 14:36

UO...is that even a question lol

LoBo · 14th April 2008, 14:42

Classic UO was the best! Its a shame what EA games did to the game.

venfayth · 14th April 2008, 14:57

I voted WoW and I'd like to clarify:

The original WoW days before battlegrounds, during TM and Southshore zerg wars, were simply amazing. That was the best. Ever since the honor system came out, the game was ruined.

But that brief memory fills me with more nostalgia than any other game does.

Brandulfr · 14th April 2008, 14:58

Ultima Online of course. Is there any doubt?

Ravenwoods · 14th April 2008, 15:00

Lol someone picked WoW ...smart ass!

Atnas · 14th April 2008, 15:06

That would be Planetside which sadly isn't on the list. Under a good leader and together with a good outfit every battle you fought was an epic struggle for (short) supremacy! For the Terran republic and Ostekake, yeah!

mmofps ftw! Organized Gal drops were awesome.

Lotharr · 14th April 2008, 15:17

I loved the old days of Dark Age of Camelot.

Nostalgy probably has a lot to do with it, even though it's an awesome game.

Soulein · 14th April 2008, 16:25

Shadowbane isn't on there so ill pick EVE.

Latro · 14th April 2008, 16:50

Forumfall, frankly, but I suppose I'll have to say WoW off that list. (The game does what it does extremely well, and I was also deprived of old UO by lack of knowledge and sheer youth at the time. Illicit means of playing the old game now are really just not the same.) Hopefully that will change to EVE before the release of Mortal, Darkfall, Renaissance, or Infinity: The Quest for Earth, and subsequently change to one of those four games.

Henu989 · 14th April 2008, 17:51

Shadowbane.
It would probly be UO judging from the epic tales, but I was like 10 or something when it came out. So I never played, a shame really..

LightsabeR · 14th April 2008, 18:39

I was too young for UO sadly :P . So voted Lineage 2.

Osiris`Mooon · 14th April 2008, 18:55

UO was my best game but i have to say that DAOC was the nuts. Check this out.

admiralnlson · 14th April 2008, 19:27

I didn't play UO (tried to dl the client for trial recently, but I was under the impression that I needed a FilePlanet paid account, so I gave up for the moment).

I've played EVE Online and loved the concept (made me discover sandbox) but not long enough to really appreciate it.

So I went with the honest answer in this poll: Guild Wars.
Surprisingly enough it's quite the opposite of a sandbox game and I'm a sandbox fanboy, but the PvP (even though it was consensual) was really sweet and elaborate. I have the urge play it again from time to time.

Lisertan · 14th April 2008, 20:12

Star Wars Galaxies, but the old one of corse. Really loved that game

themizh · 14th April 2008, 21:09

The good old Eq =)

no-one · 14th April 2008, 21:16

SWG pre CU. back then I really thought that MMOs were just going to get better from that point on. I guess I was wrong.

Shawk · 14th April 2008, 21:57

WWIIonlne, Other.

Tehghost132 · 14th April 2008, 22:09

Classic EQ (before luclin) was my best time in any game.

DaoC battle grounds comes in at second.

Pluro · 14th April 2008, 22:34

I never made a favorite yet they all in my book pretty much suck....but I have high hopes for this game I must say it is the most promising one I have ever seen with my 2 eyes.

Very true, Original, Kunark and Velius was so fun, then again it was my first MMO and I think any MMO you play first is going to feal special.

Daoc before TOA and That horrible new Pvp map.. was also pretty damn sweet.

Morxeton · 15th April 2008, 01:50

Ultima Online in the pre-UO:R days was the absolute best. Being on edge all the time with the adrenaline pumping while killing mobs waiting for that PK or two to show up and attack... then kicking them in the nutsack and looting their corpse(s)... good times. Or I would just scout the common PK hangouts for some action.

I also played EQ since a few months after release up into Velios, but quit sometime after. I ping ponged between EQ and UO for some time. I played WoW since release off and on finally until I couldn't handle that crap anymore and quit last year. I stuck it out so long because the wife enjoyed the game.

Since I put up with her for WoW, she's going to put up with me for MO. She's not a PVPer but her being able to own her own house has her all giggles.

We both played old school UO, hell that's where I met her.

We're going to play AoC to tie us over until this bad boy is released.

You lucky bastard (I assume I can say this considering it's in jest...?), finding that rare woman who actually plays video games and snagging her. And finding her while doing just that to boot. Wish I could do the same. Sadly, EVE (my current MMO; started my umpteenth trial earlier today) is not the game to do so in. Empty space, massive paranoia, and relative professionalism are not good catalysts of romance.

Haha yes I am lucky. She plays FPS games too. She kicked ass at counterstrike, but for some reason she was never big on PVP in MMOs *shrug*. Oh well... a woman that actually makes sense is like saying you can jump off of a 30-story building and walk away with just a skinned knee. But she's a gamer so I'm happy!

I will get my PVP fix in while she has her house to decorate... wooT!

Shadowjedi · 15th April 2008, 12:15

ultima online ...of course

Orion · 15th April 2008, 12:31

Pre-cu SWG.

Seneca · 15th April 2008, 14:28

As hard as it is for me to admit, but Lineage 2 is still clearly the best PvP game out there.
