I'd have to agree. I no longer play it though.Jacklin said:WoW, It perfected the original concept so well, thats why everybody copies it
WOW was fun for a little while... Warhammer was better overall but my laptop couldn't run it. A really good MMO has yet to be made because there aren't any with any lasting playability. (No, Grinding for loot is not lasting playability, it is grinding, and grinding is just a cheap way of lengthening the game)

EVE Online, so far, has been my MMO of choice. It requires a good bit of time to get anywhere, and due to varying family problems and a failed desktop-setup (Lol@top-notch as of four years ago) I have kinda been put on hiatus from it.
Second bet would have to be (Get ready) Phantasy Star Universe. I stuck with it almost since launch, and only just recently got sick of it due to the realization that no content had been released for the EU/US servers through the span of an entire year (A two-week event doesn't count, but don't tell that to the PSU playerbase) while JP servers were getting jam-packed with updates left and right (THREE events and tons of new content, iirc).

LOTRO
Didn't enjoy WoW past the 1st week, tried a few others that were good in some respects but poor in others and ended up trying LOTRO at the beginning of 2008, not even considered anything else since then and don't expect to stop playing it until they switch the servers off

City of Heroes/City of Villains is great fun, and way better then WoW if you ask me.

World of Warcraft. A game so user friendly and easy to play that 10 year olds, non-english speaking gold farmers, mad grinders, solo players, group players, raiders, ninja looters, greifers, and I can all enjoy it in one harmonious choir. Death is a speed bump at best, money flows like water, and you are even rewarded with bonus experience points for not playing if you don't have the time to be an addict like me
MMO's are possibly the most frightening genre of game out there, or rather, WoW is, because they suck your life. I hate MMO's, but WoW is the only one that made me unaware that I was slowly losing my life until it was too late, and I had invested my life into it, so I couldn't back out. I finally managed to quit though, and I am glad about that.
I have to agree with EVE blowing chunks. However, it did look incredible and promised much, and I admit I enjoyed it for the first 60 days. The skill training took an eternity after you reached the middle skill tier. The choice of a single server forced PvE and PvP players to interact with each other, often resulting in the repeat sudden and inescapable death of the PvE player. There were so many exploits ot trick PvE players into becoming targets and everyone takes potshots at weak vessels that provide no value when destroyed.ph3onix said:WoW, every other MMO is either boring, or gets boring after 45 minutes.
EVE sucks
For example...I had a harmless transport full of medical supplies heading for a plague colony, because I was dumb enough to believe they game involved role-playing and I was trying to get into the in-game story . Apparently some moron thought he owned a public (0.3 security zone)jumpgate and was waiting for defenseless vessels to shoot at out of boredom. I lagged out of the jumpgate until I was Warp Destabilized (cant run), Energy Leeched (Shields Down, Cant Return Fire) I lost my ship, was podkilled, and millions of credits worth of antibiotics were wasted. The other player looted a little 2 million credit laser as his reward for piracy.
When I went to my player run Corporation in game they said that the Corporation in question picked on small defenseless vessels to get rival corporations to declare wars on them. This gave them easy targets to prey on instead of risking PvP with equal or greater PvP threats. So my request for retribution was denied and I went to chat with the offending corporation and ask them for a little help since I was a relatively new player. Their response was that EVE Online doesn't need new players to clog up the server when all the 'real men' already run the server. Yeah...real fun game...so fun I quit forever.
