What MMORPG is right for me?

Crovox

I played the first EQ when in it came out for about 2 or so years. Then WoW and EQ2 were released and no one played it anymore so I quit. I heard better things about WoW than EQ2 so I got it and played it for about a year. I ended up getting bored. I downloaded DAoC and there weren't enough people and something was lacking for me. I also have guild wars, but got bored with it quiote fast actually. I really like MMORPGs, but I just can't find a really good one. Which ones would you guys suggest?

You can do two things to get your answer:

1) Tell us what it is you like in MMO games. They're not all the same, they don't cater to the same interests. Do you like soloing? Raiding? Crafting? PvP? Be specific. The more specific you are, the better your answer will be.

2) Look at the Game List and pick the one highest on the list that you haven't played.

Short of doing #1, #2 is your best bet.

I tried #2 already. EVE Online just doesn't seem like a game I'd like.

In MMO games I like PvP and group work. I like ones with a lot of people. I want to be able to customize my character a lot. Good graphics help...

I didn't go much on EQ2, but its the most similar to EQ out of all the mmorpgs out there.

IMO, you're in the same situation that a lot of people are in, including me.  You are getting burned out on this type of game.  You say you enjoyed EQ, but you don't like WoW or EQ2?  If you think about it, they are very similar games.  Actually, most of these games are basically the same thing...with somewhat varying graphics and interface.

If you really, really want to find another MMO, like a previous poster said, just look at the game list and start doing trials for the top rated games.  That really is your best option.  The community in any game is decent...there are good, fun, mature people playing every game.

... and therein lies the problem with modern MMO games, too many of them are too similar to EQ due to its early success in the MMO marketplace (FYI, I dont hate EQ, I played for 3 years and had many characters over level 50, but its time has passed for me so I moved on).

Most of us would like it if the genre would advance and evolve, instead lazy devs spend their time producing the same gamestyle over and over again.

I enjoyed EQ, but should EQ2, WOW, etc, really be the same game with prettier graphics or should the games have evolved more - is click a mob and mash number keys really as far as combat can go ? I dont think so...
