- lots different ways of playing from raiding to quests, to pvp
I have tried lots of MMOs and none can compare in terms of entertainment value of WOW. I have yet to find another game that i want to switch to as my main game.
This has been done so many times on this board, and it never fails to get a huge response. Its also a lot of fun to read....
For me, UO.
The freedom, and the community, are what really stands out. PKs, harcore role-players, straight-up crafters, real-estate agents (heh), PvEers... It was a virtual world, and nothing has come close.
My personal opinion... In my time of playing, Hell Gate London. I had a blast playing that game, i can't wait for it too come back. Getting past the bugs, and smaller community, it became my main fashion, and i loved it. Heh.
Who said this won't be perfect after all we know what is right And the sounds of bodies clashing is enough to make them cry. You know this cannot be perfect even when it is feeling right. And the sound of bodies crashing echo through the night.
GREAT immersion, the damn city felt alive and had a true cyberpunk feeling almost everywhere in the game , nice music, awesome outposts battle including vehicles back then i had a BLAST.
its old and worn down.. But it have so much depth and technical details which
makes it NON new user frindly, but i dont care i grew with the GUI+tech and love it all the way,
2) Lord of the Rins online
Its just a great game, and looks great, good gameplay but unfortunally its turning
into a play for raid only game, so quit it aswell.
only play DDO a little now, but kinda dropping out on mmo's
tryed many many of them, and they just suck, or let me down, meybe i got to high
exspectations, but either way theres just a huge lack of quality in modern mmo's.
Many dont ewen have trials anymore, which means i wont ewen bother trying them,
and if i buy a game they appears great, such as Aion, again i feel let down.
going back to good old RPG's and FPS's seems to be more quality.
------ Playing MMO's since my first which was Ultima online, then Anarchy online. and so on.. Now a days im very critical before i ewen bother downloading a Free to play mmo.
The best MMORPG I have played is DAOC (Pre-ToA) even though I continued playing it until about 2 months after the LoTM expansion.
1. It had the best concept of any PVP game ever released, even to this date
2. PVP combat was fast and not a long drawn out hack fest
3. RVR was between 3 realms which always added spice while PVPing. You could be losing a pvp raid to an opposing realm only to have the 3rd realm show up and flank the would be victors.
There was no other game, there is no other game and there will be no other game that offers so much variety and game depth. In the years I played UO I tried a lot of different "professions":
- I was a PvPer for several years (and UO has the best PvP ever made)
- I was a house designer for several months (yeah: Girlie Hobby, but I loved it)
- I was a gardener for several months
- I was a Crafter for years
- I owned my own shop for years
- I was a IDOCer for years (probably the best incentive for open PvP, and yet no other game used this method)
- I was a Rare Hunter for months
- I was a Bank sitter for months
- I was a Tamer for months
- I was a Bard for months
- I was a Explorer for weeks
- I was a Role Player for months
- I was a Griefer for years
And probably forgotten more than half of all the other professions I ever tried in UO.
Tell me: In what other game can you
- sit on your mount at the WBB, listen to all the shop owners offering great items for small money, step through the gate to a shop, browse through dozens of vendors, find the item you looked for for months, decide to buy it, just to get ambushed by some reds hidden nearby?
- follow guys for hours to their own house - stealthed and hidden -, get into their house, listen to them for another hour, watch one guy pick up a 120 Magery scroll, pickpocket and steal the item?
- get up in the middle of the night because you found a promising IDOC, recall there, hide and wait for it to fall, notice some reds popping up tracking the whole area, your heartbeat going up to 200, house falls, grab some loot and get away?
- buy server rares?
- trap boxes with deadly poisons, drop them at the WBB and watch some noobs clicking them?
- help Noobs by promising to gate them to Britain, when instead you gate them to the most dangerous dungeon?
Wow, I have to stop here: Can't find any more words for the sheer brilliance of that game. BTW: a game with no End Content, no Raids, no PvE-Part, not focussed on items but on the interaction between players, and not to mention: a game with no quests...

Ultima Online - without any doubt!

dark age of camelot before trails of alantis exp. 3 realm rvr was good fun and relic raids were awesome even after all these years i miss it.
a real shame mythic were too tight to advertise a lot back then
