Rate the MMOs


(I’m not sure if anyone has ever come up with exactly this type of post. If they have, my apologies in advance)

 

For fun and curiosity, I would like to see how some people would rate the MMOs that they’ve played or are currently playing. The MMO could be cancelled or currently running.  I’m sure people will say I’ve excluded a few categories, but hey, I’m not perfect.

 

I respectfully request that you keep the “OMGz, you picked Game X over Game Y for that category...you are an idiot!” responses to a minimum please. Besides, maybe I've never played Game Y…ok?!?!?

Bonus question - Most anticipated MMO      :

   I’ll start it off…



--------------------------------------------

PVP                                        :Planetside

gives the most fair odds to each team.  Fights are super-intense with a lot of people

PVE                                        :Everquest

in its prime, it was the best

Character customization (appearance)       :City of Heroes

can anyone give an example of one that does it better??

Character customization (skills/abilities) :World of Warcraft

this answer leaves a bad taste in my mouth, but I can’t think of one offhand that does it better

Best visual/graphical effects              :City of Heroes

I just loved the eye candy in this game. Super job on effects

Most bug free                              :World of Warcraft

beta was the last time it crashed, or had a really significant bug that I can remember

Most bugs                                  :Planetside

don't think I've ever played one with more bugs than this (never played Vanguard)

Best community                             :Everquest 2

nicest people in any MMO that I’ve played

Worst community                            :World of Warcraft

just one of the major factors that kept me from playing steadily

Best immersion                             :Dungeon & Dragons Online

great dungeon crawl feel to it.  Actually felt like I was in the place. Pretty creepy.

Most “grindy”                              :City of Heroes

great game, but WAY too repetitive, with nothing to do but fight, fight, and then fight again

Least “grindy”                             :Planetside

never felt tedious at all. Nothing to grind except other human players

Best interface                             :World of Warcraft

this game's interface spoiled me for other games. CoH comes in second

Longest played (total time)                :Everquest

about 4 years, 99-2004, with some breaks

The one (or more) you “keep coming back to”:Planetside/World of Warcraft

I check them out very occasionally after a significant update

One you would NEVER go back to             :Tabula Rasa

such a disappointment for me from a very anticipated sci-fi.  Well, there's always Fallen Earth /prays

Most overall fun (could list more than one):Planetside/Everquest

I can’t remember any games giving me more fun experiences than these two

Bonus question - Most anticipated MMO      :Warhammer Online

I can still hope someone will break the current MMO stagnation, can’t I ??

    PvP
    Eve-Online and GuildWars, for different reasons. GuildWars is pure PvP, if you skip the PvE. I actually like it. Liked.
    Eve-Online has that "I am part of a huge war and will change history"-PvP. I love it for giving me that feeling.
    PvE
    Who cares for PvE? Guildwars i guess. At least it has the most interesting Quests.
    Character customization (appearance)
    Can't really comment on that, because i do never really care for it.
    Character customization (skills/abilities)
    Same as above
    Best visual/graphical effects
    Best visual Style-Award goes to Eve. It has its edges if you look closely, but the overall style is great. Same goes for Guildwars, the visuals are extremely good, even on really low end machines.
    Most bug free
    Guildwars again. I have not encountered any.
    Most bugs
    Vanguard?
    Best community
    Eve-Online. Most mature community i have ever seen. Even the ones who get spanked are mostly nice and your arch enemy greets you. Mostly.
    Worst community
    Guildwars. I do not play f2p-games and heard very bad things of their "community", but of all the games i own this one has the most childish, immature and stupid community. Actually, it doesn't have a community, but a horde of barbarians as players.
    Most “grindy”
    Lineage 2. Hands down, this game IS pure grind. It is made of it.
    Least “grindy”
    Eve-Online. Nothing forces you to do anything repetitive to progress (although it helps).
    Best interface
    Eve-Online. It actually feels like the UI of an operating system. But it does it's job very, very well. After that, my vote goes to Gw. Again. That "mmo" is haunting me somehow.
    Longest played (total time)
    Eve. I have two accounts, that counts twice i think.
    The one (or more) you “keep coming back to”
    Still Eve. I take breaks from time to time, but return to it. It spoiled any other mmo for me..
    One you would NEVER go back to
    Swg and Guildwars. Swg is dead for me, Guildwars community is braindead and grouping is a pain. (May be because i like to play healers. You know who is responsible for a wipe, don't you?)
    Most overall fun (could list more than one)
    Eve-Online > Swg > UO > Guildwars.
    Bonus question - Most anticipated MMO
    Wurm Online. Terraforming, farming (literarily. Sow, rake, farm, bake bread), building stuff. I love it, for it's hardcore.

    PVP   I consider it a bad mistake to lump all PvP together so  I will split it up.

    Best match play - Guild Wars.  Best World PvP, I guess EvE because its the only one with real world PvP.

                                      :

    PVE  I can't say each have their strong points.  I would go with CoX and DD.  I can't fairly rate any EQ clones I am simply tired of them and find them boring.  Not saying they are bad just saying I can't rate them fairly.  I never liked EQ either.                                        :

    Character customization (appearance)    CoX, is this even disputed really?   :

    Character customization (skills/abilities) CoX the IO system is huge, Guild Wars and Eve as well :

    Best visual/graphical effects  This is pure taste but Guild Wats, LOTRO, and EVE            :

    Most bug free                          Not sure, Guild Wars seems really solid.  WoW is good buut there are a number of long standing bugs I know of.    :

    Most bugs                                 Neocron, although I know of others I haven't played that are probably worse :

    Best community                        CoX     :

    Worst community                       Guild Wars     :

    Best immersion                         Really depends on the activity DDO can be good while solo in a dungeon, Eve can be very immersive, CoX is great when you are jumping across buildings etc     :

    Most “grindy”                           EQ1?  FFXI? CoX; depending on how you react to spawn model  :

    Least “grindy”                          Guild Wars   :

    Best interface                          Guild Wars for slickness, old WoW for variety   :

    Longest played (total time)              Not sure actually  :

    The one (or more) you “keep coming back to”  None:

    One you would NEVER go back to             :

    Most overall fun (could list more than one) :

  • CenthanCenthan Member Posts: 483
    Wow, thanks for all the responses so far guys.   Some interesting and funny comments.

     

    I was curious to see if there were any I haven’t played that had better character customization than CoH/CoV.  I usually don’t find interest in that (thoughtful gameplay interests me more), but it can get to be a little fun.

     

    I find it interesting that no one has mentioned Vanguard for anything other than bugs, or one you would never go back to.  Also, Pirates of the Burning Sea wasn’t mentioned anywhere, perhaps because it is so new.  I tried that one on beta, and nothing stood out as well.

     

    A couple people mentioned Aion as an anticipated MMO.  I don’t know much about that other than the visuals.  Not really my style; too “Asian” looking.  The graphics and effects look superb, but that whole “anime” type style is just not my thing.   Well, I hope it finds success with those that do like it.

    I think a couple of categories you could have throw in are "Best ingame Economy" as some games you live and die based on your ability to generate cash and "Best Crafting".

     

    Its to bad more people didn't take the time to fill this out. There are some surprising answers. More then a few closet L2 fans.

    PVP                                        :Guild Wars

    My original answer was PVP LOL!

    PVE                                        :City of Heroes

    I would have given this to pre-CU SWG, for the AI, but it was still buggy as hell.

    Character customization (appearance)       :City of Heroes

    Nothing comes close.

    Character customization (skills/abilities) :Saga of Ryzom

    The Matrix Online would be a not so distant second, but Ryzom's customization really couldn't be beat.

    Best visual/graphical effects              :The Matrix Online

    Rip on the game or the movies all you want, but MxO's graphics are not only authentic to the IP, but hold up amazingly well on low-end machines.

    Most bug free                              :
    City of Heroes

    I've been playing since launch, and I think the servers have been down for no more than two or three days, total.

    Most bugs                                  :Star Wars Galaxies (any version)

    I've played shareware games with less bugs than this.

    Best community                             :
    Saga of Ryzom

    2nd place would be a tie between City of Heroes and the Matrix Online.

    Worst community                            :World of Warcraft

    Hands down, the worst.

    Best immersion                             :Lord of the Rings Online

    Honestly, I've never felt anywhere near as immersed in a multiplayer game as I do in a single player.

    Most “grindy”                              :Lineage II

    Hands down, I've never played anything worse.

    Least “grindy”                             :Guild Wars

    Still not sure if this really qualifies as an MMO though.

    Best interface                             :City of Heroes

    Simple. Elegant. Straightforward. Love the pass-thru targeting, heck, just the ease and reliability of targeting in general.

    Longest played (total time)                :City of Heroes

    Going on four years this May.

    The one (or more) you “keep coming back to”:Star Wars Galaxies

    I don't re-subscribe (and probably never would), but I do try to keep up with major updates/headlines. It's just like a train-wreck you can't turn away from.

    One you would NEVER go back to             :Too Many To List

    SWG and Lineage II probably top the list, followed by a ton of Korean grinders.

    Most overall fun (could list more than one):City of Heroes

    I just can't get tired of this game. The developers rock. They're always adding new stuff. And I love the fast-paced combat that's still darned accessible even for a butterfingers like me.


    Bonus question - Most anticipated MMO      :Spore


    Okay, so it's not an MMO. Frankly, I'm not really excited about anything I've seen so far. And I'm really tired of hack 'n slash, Gary Gygax clones.

    PVP: Guild Wars
    I thought the quick pvp was pretty entertaining.

    PVE: Final Fantasy XI
    I just love fighting the notorious monsters with my guild/linkshell.

    Character customization (appearance): Perfect World
    You can customize almost every little detail on your characters appearance.

    Character customization (skills/abilities): Guild Wars
    There are always different ways you can chain your skills in here, even though sometimes they can be worthless chains.

    Best visual/graphical effects: Lineage 2
    The armor in Lineage 2 is just phenomenal, nothing can compare.

    Most bug free: Final Fantasy XI
    I just havent seen many bugs in this, thats about it.

    Most bugs: i havent had that problem yet

    Best community: Final Fantasy XI
    There are always people to help you and assist you. I haven't met an annoying person yet, and I played this for about 2 years now on and off.

    Worst community: World of Warcraft
    For some reason I always met the most annoying people in here everytime I played, there are still some pretty awesome people though.

    Best immersion: Final Fantasy XI and Dungeons and Dragons Online
    Final Fantasy XI because the world is just so big and beautiful its not hard to immerse myself, same goes for Dungeons and Dragons except its their dungeons that get me.

    Most “grindy”: Lineage 2 and Final Fantasy XI
    Takes a long time to level in Lineage 2 because its hard to find a party in low leveled areas, and Final Fantasy XI since without a party it becomes a pretty huge grind.

    Least “grindy”: Guild Wars
    Never really had to fight a mob over and over and over again to level up.

    Best interface: Guild Wars
    Its just a really easy interface.

    Longest played (total time): Lineage 2 for 3 years
    Played sine Chronicle 3 on and off.

    The one (or more) you “keep coming back to”: Final Fantasy XI, Lineage 2, and Guild Wars
    I cant get over those games, they are just awesome.

    One you would NEVER go back to: World of Warcraft
    The community got to me and the game was just sort of boring to me.

    Most overall fun (could list more than one): Final Fantasy XI
    Final Fantasy XI just has an awesome community and there is just so much to do, it takes a really long time to actually finish everything thats in Final Fantasy XI.

    Bonus question - Most anticipated MMO:Aion
    Graphics look great, gameplay looks fun, overall it just looks like a fantastic game to play.

    what can I say I like alot of SOE games. The decent ones anyhow, I never attempted to play SWG, Matrix, or whatever other title they had because I didn't care for the IP's at all. All of the games I listed up there I had fun for varying periods of time.

    I absolutely loved EnB. I played from Beta 9 till the end. I always heard everyone whine about the lack of content but the content was there, but unlike games like WoW that lead you by the nuts to your next destination you actually had to find the next series of quests/missions. It would've stomped Eve into the ground if Westwood hadn't of been bought out and castrated by EA. Anyway, I'm off.

    Want a taste of religion? Lick a witch.

    AHh my eyes! Sorry but I had to say it, using a background color that is derived from the same color of the text just doesn't work very well. Oh and someone else who likes the EQ2 interface woot! lol.
