Recommendations for truly cooperative game play

Right, so I'm looking for an MMO with, as the title states, truly cooperative game play not ones where the only real challenge is not getting left behind as the party races through a dungeon or instance.  The setting really isn't important.  General PVE can be solo'ish but the party mechanic has to be difficult and require an in depth knowledge of your role in order for the party to be successful.

    Most modern MMOs have this; at endgame. If there is one out now which requires grouping during leveling, im unaware of it.

    It is not about the games .. it is about the players.

    If no one wants to wait for you, the game does not matter. In this day and age, it is much more fun treating other players as NPCs. Try it .. you may actually like it!

    True story, playing single player games lately, and I treat my NPC  companion or party members nicely. 

    It's just how I roll.

    It's a game aimed for children and you're unlikely to be happy with it, but its buff/debuff mechanisms allow for more co-operation than any other MMO I've seen.

    Either you have to pick some rather ancient game or you have to wait for Pantheon to release.

    Even ancient games have changed to a solo experience.  It's best to find an emulator version.  The classics had sold their soul to make their games easy too.

    True, but even a classic that have been dumbed down quite a bit still is far from a modern MMO. You would of course be better of with a vanilla server or something like project 1999.

    I discovered this as I was hunting for EQ Classic; tried the Live version for a good bit before realizing that I was settling and that the true experience was available. 

    Before that realization though I was certainly impressed with how far EQ Live was from Live WoW. There was just no contest; it is challenging, deep, and retained a large measure of the original feel. 

    Plus, almost by definition, there is a SHITLOAD of content.

    lol .. really?

    True story, playing multi-player games lately, and I treat my party members like NPCs. No talking, just play and have fun as if they are NPCs. 

    It's just how i roll.
