Only played WoW but I am thoroughly addicted.

Acid doesn't give you truths; it builds machines that push the envelope of perception. Whatever revelations came to me then have dissolved like skywriting. All I really know is that those few years saddled me with a faith in the redemptive potential of the imagination which, however flat, stale and unprofitable the world seems to me now, I cannot for the life of me shake.

I played the Original Everquest (no expansions even!) back in '99 and '00, does this qualify me to randomly guess on this question?

WoW would be the best, but thats not saying much comparing it to the mmorpg community. WoW sucks.

None! have you seen the new might and magic game? the graphics are amazing. its like morrowind but 100 times better. I guess they got valve, the people who came up with the game engine for halflife 2, to let them use the engine. youve got to check it out, its awsome. words cant describe it..

daoc owns wow, wow is not a good game, it is only good because it is popular. It has introduced exactly nothing new to mmorpgs. I hear d&d will release some new stuff with grea pve

I played EQ for 4+ years - was in one of the top guilds in the game, had loads of fun, but it kinda burnt me out on MMORPGs.

I beta tested DAoC for a few phases in beta (even got my name in the manual as a 'beta thanks', not sure if its in the newer ones, but was in the original box), then played for 3-4 months into retail then quit, I had gotten so many characters to max levels in beta and played the fuck out of it like an addict. I loved the PvP in the game, added a really nice touch - I had fun owning 24 main keep raids with a single group, thnx to over-powered AE mez back in the day :smile:

WoW is 'meh', got to level 32 and lost interest - it was much the same as EQ, just with more 'polish' really. Yeah, the questing is cool, but in the end, it always just felt like grinding but prettier.

The MMORPG that I LOVED, and I wish I could get back into it, is Ultima Online.

For its time, that game hands down beats the shit out of every other current MMORPG. But trying to start 'new' in that game now is a pain in the ass, and the interface/graphics just dont quite live upto todays games and just feels really dated.

The depth of gameplay in UO, the PvM and PvP were great. The depth of game play and the tactics you could pull off were allways fun. Its probably the only MMORPG where I had FUN fighting monsters, and I'd go hunting just for the fun of hunting. In EQ/WoW/DAoC, 99% of the hunting I did, is because I /had/ to hunt to get to the next level/whatever, I very rarely 'went grinding for the fun of it'.

In UO, with a bard/mage combo - it was the funnest PvM in any mmorpg I've had :smile:

Toss in PvP, player housing, player run towns/vendors, the best trade-skill and player-run item system.

I really wish OSI would do a UO2 that simply modernized it for the year 2006, but keep with game they had in the UO:T2A area (their first real expansion).

*note: I used to be a huge MMORPG nerd in highschool - dont play them anymore now, dont have the time or the patience for them.

I'm addicted to WoW.

At first you look at it and think "god damn its cartoony."  Like i did.  And look at me now.  It grows on you badly.

However, this doesnt mean its the best.  Its almost moving too fast for its own good, and certain 'rooted' abilites and aspects of the game that were 'bugged' are causing serious problems now, especialy when theyre 'fixed'. 
One of those major ones would be the whole PVP aspect.
WoW started out as a PvE game mostly.  PvP servers were around for realism and fun.  You meet the enemy, and you fight. The end.

Then they introduced Honor points.  Things went fuckign haywire. There are players now that only play the game for PvP.  Blizzard now has a giant weight on themselves because half of their subscribers are obsessed with something that was never given much thought in the original design.
DPS (damage) is outpacing ......well everything.  Healing and armour dont do much against multiple 3000 crits.  If they upped the ability to heal or defend against these, it would instantaniously collapse all the PvE aspects of the game. Even the hardest current instances would be childs play.

What im trying to say is......  It sucks when a game pulls you in, and then gets slowly changed around by the developers into something thats not balanced very well.

I dont even know if i love it or hate it anymore.  :crazy:

pve in mmo's = /yawn after awhile. PVP is where it's at, it's what keeps it interesting.
