    In the order played:

    1. Ultima Online (best virtual word*)
    2. Star Wars Galaxy (best 3d sandbox*)
    3. Final Fantasy XI (best class system*, best group synergy*)
    4. World of Warcraft (best overall experience*)
    5. Reserved space for a future mmorpg
    *Please note that the word best used to describe any of the features/experiences listed above reflect only my own views that are based solely on what I have personally played. I use it only as a expression to drive home the point as to why a particular mmo has made my list. Furthermore, these views are subject to change depending entirely on my willingness to experience newer and newer mmorpgs emerging within the genre or older mmorpgs that I may have overlooked in the past for various reasons.

    Easy:

    1. EVE Online - one of the few sandbox MMO (true mmo in my opinion)

    2. Pirates of the Burning Sea (great pirate MMO, proably last one good out there)

    3. Guild Wars 2 - big game, big world, lot to do, fun

    4. Planetside 2 - if you like FPS, you will love P2

    5. Fallen Earth - great sandbox MMO for nuke lovers

    If in 1982 we played with the current mentality, we would have burned down all the pac man games since the red ghost was clearly OP. Instead we just got better at the game.

    1. Asheron's Call 1
    2. Ultima Online
    3. City of Heroes
    4. Shadowsbane
    5. Warhammer Online
    Last one mostly for cool class mechanics and PvP scenarios/battlegrounds as means of leveling.
  • cheyanecheyane Member LegendaryPosts: 9,067

    1. Everquest 1 (my best memories are in this game and it saddens me I can no longer experience that in any other game)

     

    2. FFXI (another game with a fantastic community and feeling of playing in a world)

     

    3. City of Heroes /Villains (a game that changed  so many ideas about the trinity allowing different roles to emerge)

     

    4. WoW (It grabbed me for awhile the vanilla WoW which is more than I can say for a lot of games that came later)

     

    5.Everquest 2 ( the crafting in this game and housing absolutely blew me away in the beginning)

    DAOC (SWG + Guild Drama made me leave DAOC)
    SWG (pre NGE)

    Wandering around with old MMO friends looking for a game that comes close to them.

    1.)  Ultima Online (stopped right around Third Dawn)

     

    2.)  EverQuest  (played off and on for a long time, The Nameless server)

     

    3.)  Dark Age of Camelot (pre-Trials of Atlantis)

     

    4.)  Final Fantasy XI (from intial U.S. launch until accepted into vanilla WoW beta)

     

    5.)  World of Warcraft (from vanilla beta unto Cataclysm, with a few breaks in between)

     

    Many others that could go into a 6th spot, but those were the top five I invested the most time in.

    1. World of Warcraft

    2. SWTOR

    3. Pirates of the burning Sea

    4. Rift

    5. AOC

    As a side note, it will be interesting to see some final statistics if those are being gathered, but so far despite the 7 pages of reponses, the top 5 for players seems to be not correlated with the rankings on this website - which are largely governed by these same people responding. For instance, almost every person here has WOW in their top 5 (including me). Why then is it's score so bad? 

    I don't mean to derail your thread at all and these questions are just rhetorical to give the community something to chew on.

    I think in part it's a response to the devolution of Blizzard's culture (Diablo III, for example), and the devolution of the game itself.

    1 - WoW - The dungeon design is absolutely stellar. Progression was attainable but also fun back when I played.

    2 - Runes of Magic - Class combinations added a massive amount of playability to the game for all of my favorite oddball classes.

    3 - 5 - Nothing else, those are the only two games I really have invested more than a year into.

    I played WoW up until WotLK, played RoM for 2 years and now Rift.
    I am F2P player. I support games when I feel they deserve my money and I want the items enough.
    I don't troll, and I don't take kindly to trolls.

    4. Age of Wulin (martial arts fans dream game)
