best mmorpg you have played

[escapistrules]

yes, this most likely has been asked before, but i'm just curious. this is because i have played wow on my friends account for a while (mostly because i'm cheap) and had fun with it, but i would like to know if there are any other great mmorpg out there that i could try (preferably free).

 

[Julianking93]

Never played nor will I ever play an MMO.

 

[hittite]

Envy. Probably because it's the only one I play.

Hey, if you go there, could you use this http://www.envythegame.com/register.php?REF=41347 ?
I get free stuff if I refer someone.

Not terribly fond of MMOs, but I have tried a rather large number of them, and I think Champions Online was the best yet. Or to be more accurate not the best perhaps, but the most entertaining.

EDIT:

Oh, and if browser-based MMOs count, Nexus War was the best by far. Until it shut down. ;-;

MORE EDIT:

Oh, and Guild Wars was totally awesome too. Though it wasn't the first thing to come to mind since many people don't consider it a proper MMO (it's 99% instanced after all, which kinda ruins the 'Massive' part) and the fact that it has really declined some time after the release of Eye of the North. But yeah, it was the best-ever MMO while it lasted.

The Phantasy Star Online ones were the only ones i liked

 

[NordicWarrior]

I loved LOTRO. Played it for a year, took a year off and got back into it for a few months.

 

[DoctorNick]

Ultima Online by default considering that it's the only online RPG I've played.

Urban Dead, It's the only one i've ever gotten into and wanted to play. Whats Urban Dead? Well it's a free browser based zombie mmorpg, entirely player driven, with no graphics (Mostly text based). Infact, i do belive the escapist actually did a story on it in '05.

Here's a Link to the Wiki if your interested:

Why the wiki and not the game? becuase you'll need it on hand to help you survive your initial first few steps into malton. Trust me on that one.

I am a happy FFXI player. Very high quality game, but not for those that want to solo. Very group oriented leveling.

 

[Pingieking]

My first and only; the uber grindfest that is Everquest.
I can't believe that thing is still going. Pretty crazy.

 

[Erana]

I've played a lot of MMOs, but Fiesta is the only one I miss to this day.

 

[Z of the Na'vi]

When I did play MMOS, World of Warcraft would have to be the best I have played.

 

[Kamaitachi]

Guild wars, and that online star wars game (star wars galaxies?) although I only played the trial of the star wars game, it looked pretty fun...

 

[NeutralDrow]

I'm split between City of Heroes and World of Warcraft. Both offer different things, and I love them both.

 

[Baralak]

I LOVE Dungeons and Dragons Online. It WAS pay to play, but went free back in Saptember. I HIGHLY recommend it!

City of Heroes was good...but it had a lot of problems, and is currently a ghost town. If you are going to play at all, play on freedom server. Anything else is abandoned. Otherwise, it's fairly fun.

I can't afford the money-cost variety. I like this 2D MMO from South Korea called Trickster. I want to try Ultima Online someday.

 

[2012 Wont Happen]

My favorite MMO was probably Runescape. I've never been able to get into other MMOs.

 

[Masterhope]

City of Heroes/Villains will always be my favorite I'm playing right now.

And Freedom is not the only one, Virtue is still going strong huge population there.

Age of Conan... Being a big fan of the books and movies, I found this to be right where I left my winter jacket...

Not to mention that, although it was the most debatable thing in AoC, the combat was a fine upgrade to the push-button-have-guy-commence-awesome approach that left me feeling a bit bored with other MMO games... The combat system in AoC actually makes you work to achieve awesomeness, which not only brings a heavy string of micromanagement into play, but also it doesn't leave me feeling that I got killed cheaply due to the fact that other MMOs' rely more on numbers and stats and LVL

Keep in mind this is just my opinion, I'm not bashing anyone's favorite MMO, for I find them all, including Age of Conan, to be equally horrible, you just have to pick which form of horrible irritates you the least... For me, that was Age of Conan.
