The most fun you've ever had in an MMORPG

Thought this would be an interesting topic, I would like to know which MMORPG you were playing and what it was that was so much fun :P
For me I would have to say Dark Age of Camelot - PVP'ing in the level 20-24 Battlegrounds. By far the most fun I have ever had in any MMORPG to date.

The MMORPG that I had the most fun in is pretty much a tie. I had the most fun in battlegrounds in DAoC and I also had just as much fun questing with friends in Asheron's Call.
Motor City Online.
Beating people in pink slip races, and winning a track for the first time with my clan.

RISING DRAGOON ~AION US ONLINE LEGION for Elyos
Easily UO, the most fun and best MMORPG I have ever played. It was also my first, so that certaintly helps. The main reasons i liked it so much were the open-ended gameplay... you could do and be anything you wanted to, and you could go anywhere you wanted (almost) without being ganked by stupid mobs like in Everquest. The skill based system as opposed to class/level based was an awsome decision as it allowed you to create a truly unique character. Along with TONS of items, crafting, houses, boats, treasure hunts, PVP, mounts and a number of other things, this game was (emphasis on was) awsome!
Its a toss up for me....
I would have to say my first six months of SWG (which was from release day) before the game turned into the jedi loving uber armored solo fest it is now.
A close second would be my time in anarchy online before shadowlands came out.

Critical thinking is a desire to seek, patience to doubt, fondness to meditate, slowness to assert, readiness to consider, carefulness to dispose and set in order; and hatred for every kind of imposture.
I've only played a few, but you know what they say.. you never forget your first.
Bad analogy, but still... SWG was my first, and I had a LOT of fun. I loved the little things like .. I walked into a Cantina, and there were a lot of people chatting... and I had no frickin clue what they were saying. You had to learn every race's language. It's the little things like that that I liked. Crafting as fun also. Yes, Crafting. I only quit because of money issues almost a year ago... and from what i've read, it's not much fun anymore. :
City Of Heroes was the only other one I played for a substantial amount of time. Played it since the day of release, then after about 2 months, I stopped playing. I apparently forgot to cancel my subscription, so I decided to log back on one day, and I had got right back into it. That lasted for another 3 months or so. I managed to get to lvl 40, and the boredom hit me like a brick wall. So many things about the game were great.. awesome even. But, there just wasn't enough content for me. Hopefully CoV will change all that. But I won't be checking it out.
One thing about both.... I didn't find the community to be all that great. I made a few good friends in both games. And very much like these forums... people can be so very brave behind their avatar. And I don't mean brave in a good way.
I look forward to my next MMO experience... whatever that may be.

Althought it is definitely WRONG...
Playing EQ as a chanter and been litterally harassed for groups, even when anonymous. Getting guilds offers and ninja guild invite from different guilds. It is good to feel like a superstar!

Several things come to mind,
first diamond group in daoc ( when diamonds in df were worth it)
in corsecana mines leveling from about 35-42 is in big groups
2 days at fins tree going from 45 - 50
large guild hunts, and when si came out exploring the big dungons there
Definitely a great time in the BGs.
But my favorite would have been hunting Eastham Beach in AC1 (low level area). Was right after it's release and my 1st entrancing MMORPG (UO Beta didn't really count).

EQ the 1st months the game was out, discovering what frustration was in Black Burrow and Runny eye.
Gotta love those trains
Similar fond memories of Daoc...
First barrows group,
First House gob group,
First DF group.
Actually, everything about that game impressed me

My funniest time in a Mmorpg was, without doubt, in original UO when leading my guild we were involved in a deep storyline with a rival guild. They were very honorable and we had very many memorable moments.
Shame that we lost all single time

Tight groups in FM waiting for forest loops to drop.

First Naggy run, only because I was easily the lowest knob there and didnt know what the hell I was doing.
All low level stuff, but fun.

Easily PlanetSide... Back in beta when it was actually playable.. Being the last survivor in my squad anxoiosly waiting for reinforcements... Hotdropping straight into the fray etc...
Now it's all crap just a million zerg rushes with no thought for originality.
And ofcourse Endless Ages in beta 9 before they screwed up armors and a ton of idiot noobs joined.
