Warhammer
Alliance

Vanguard has the furthest I'd say.

Looks stunning to on a good system.

Haven't played Entropia universe, but using the crytek2 engine (even if terribly used) guarantees huge distances, same goes for the upcoming crytek1's titles.

why do humans build, because it isn''t there

Sure graphics don't mean much but when people need to turn off anti-aliasing you have issues with your engine.

A mathematician wakes up at night, and comes to the startling discovery that his room is on fire. He runs to his desk, and starts calculating, using many sheets of paper. Eventually, he writes "QED" and exclaims, "there is a solution!" Relieved, he goes back to sleep.

Dark and Light by far has/had the farthest viewing distance..  you could clearly see a mountain side but would take you literaly hours by foot to reach it.

I agree with the poster above, Dark And Light probably has the longest meaningful draw distance. Eve doesn't really count because for me it appears that the game was on a geodesic, where the distance between a and b doesn't amount to much because of the empty world and the physics of the warp functionality.

Vanguard had pretty amazing draw distances as well, but Dark And Light more than likely takes the cake due to the game being designed with that concept. However, not to say the game was good or bad a player can visit the forums and read reader reviews and decide for themselves.

DnL if you still consider it a mmorpg or a playable game to that matter.

From the playable mmorpg then i think its vanguard.

Beware of Felidae on the hunt.

I hear AION is going to have an insanely high draw distance...
