Best Community?

In your opinion, what is the best community to be a part of? It's obviously a subjective question, and I don't want to get into a specific definition, so use your own definition, and give it in the comments section.

Back in the day I loved the L2 community, just grinding and talking for hours, the clan wars and castle seiges, the drama, it was great. But if I go back now, it's really not like that anymore (at least from what I saw).
As the question says IS I will assume you mean currently, which IMO would have to go to FFXIV. That game has one of the nicest communities I've ever met. I've never felt so included any time I join a guild. I've joined 4 or 5 different FC's on the game as I take large breaks and tend to get kicked due to that, but all of them instantly start talking to you, bring you into the FC house and just in general involve you in their community. I've had FC mates craft me full sets of gear out of nowhere as well. It's just a nice feeling when people actually just hang out and talk. Most of the time there were people in the house, not even afk, but just talking or having fun doing random little crap. Even people around in the housing area outside would come by and say hi to our FC and try to get you involved, it felt like an actual community. I didn't encounter toxicity in dungeons like you normally would if you wipe, or if you aren't doing enough damage on a raid. Everyone I encountered would actively try to help players who didn't understand.
It was a weird experience because you usually don't get communities that are like that anymore, but it was fun.

Anarchy was one of those games where you needed other players. The game was designed for interdependence.
Multiple accounts and paying for buffs in the shop killed that quick.
Everquest had the best overall community. Most people were helpful and polite.
Honorable mention: LOTRO.
Out of all of the active mmos right now, LOTRO has by far the best community.
The type of community is determined by two facets....
1. The market of gamer you're trying to hit.
2. Lack or depth of community elements you integrate into various areas of the game.
which means they are all full of whiny self entitled egotistical brats..
With that said.. I guess it's really a matter of do you want to play with Hard Core Elitist full of hate and rage Brats, or the "I play drunk and stoned" Brats or the "I have six jobs, 3 kids, and this is the only time I get to play, I am here to unwind, now chill the fuck out" brats.
Entropia. People are generally helpful in rookie chat. Everyone is playing against the house. But then again, i haven't really played the other games other than EVE. So I can't say much.

'But there are many. You can play them entirely solo, and even offline. Also, you are wrong by default.'
Ikcin in response to yours sincerely debating whether or not single-player offline MMOs exist...
'This does not apply just to ED but SC or any other game. What they will get is Rebirth/X4, likely prettier but equally underwhelming and pointless.
It is incredibly difficult to design some meaningfull leg content that would fit a space ship game - simply because it is not a leg game.
It is just huge resource waste....'

Still, Tradechat in WoW and 4 biggest **** being morons in general is a better community than PoE or Growtopia.
This isn't a signature, you just think it is.
