However FFXI is imo still to this day the best overall mmorpg and is never advertised or talked about,while SOE and Blizzard were tow of the biggest advertisers in the market.FFXI is designed more as a mmo+rpg than those other games aside from EQ2's housing which of course adds immersion and realism to the genre,which is why i said for THAT type of game EQ2 is the best out there or arguably VG but in essence identical games.
Another very under rated game that does bring some uniqueness and is yet another clone is Runes of Magic.Pretty cool game if only they could figure a way to make the game less cash shop intensive.
The GREED by so many developers is also stupidity,they kill their own game/market because of greed.Even SOE would rather have LESS players,less overhead and just soak those few people for as much money as they can,rather than aim big.Obviously greed and trying to nickle dime your audience does not work,people leave very soon after and then your game is a ghost town for the rest that decide to stick it out.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

Underrated? Hard to say they all have their fanbois, even the horrible ones. But to be under rated it has to be a game not many people play but would keep people playing it if they bothered to try it out. That too is a pretty tall order.
I doubt any released games fulfill the criteria needed.

Are abilities earned?Housing?Player combat?,i want non radar type combat,this game offers radar and tracking,no thanks.Warp travel ...no thanks.Cash shop gaming no thanks.,"insurance" lmao terrible idea.
No to all of above,guess it doesn't offer me a sandbox game.
Eve on paper COULD have been an absolute amazing game,but when you get some rinky dink Indie operation like CCP running it,it never had a chance.Even after millions of dollars floating through their turnstiles ,the game remains a "what could have been" and will never get there.

EQ2 came to my mind at first BUT after thinking about it I have to go with Vanguard. Dungeons in that game were massive, quests were interesting, combat while tab targeting was a better twist on it then others. Classes and races were really cool. World was massive and beautiful at that time, some of the boss fights were better than other games ive played. Crafting system was very in depth. BUT when you launch a game where you fall through the world while running on a path, something might be a little wrong and kills the game for most people. Then toss in the fact it was developed by people who didn't care or didn't know what to do, sold to people who fixed thousands of bugs only to be put on permanent life support.
Poor game was doomed from launch.

Agreed!
My favorite game of all time.
I dare them to do better.
Combat is quite detailed and you must account for a variety of factors such as transversals, range, velocity, damage and shield types to name just a few.
Warp travel? Its a friggin space game, which I'd venture most every one past, present and future has. EVEs is strategically woven into the gameplay.
Insurance is a terrible idea? Why? People fall over themselves to buy lifetime in SC and my complaint in EVE is its largely useless, except for newer players or when I fly a T1 hull.
It has a cash shop, but items sold do not influence the universe in any significant way.
The game stands as one of the greatest MMORPGs ever made, and likely one of the most misunderstood and under rated virtual worlds in the genre.
