Uh, Top 10 ?

I have actually played 2 so far ... lol.

Sorry, I know most MMOs only from the outside, i.e. I have studied their design, esp their class design. That would be my favorite list:

1. D&D Online. Ok, forget about the MMO. The ruleset is not really made for the computer, even less for MMOs, and its still far from perfect as well, but its still one of the most interesting and complex roleplaying rulesets out there. The idea of multiclassing, and more importantly to be able to customize your class, is what I think is central for a fun roleplaying system.

2. Guild Wars has a great design that allows for near infinite experiments. Sad the rest of the game is "super casual", and its not even a real MMO. Still, I love this system a lot. Thanks to sharp limits (characters can only have 8 abilities) and a large pool of possibilities (hundreds of abilities per class; one can have one subclass which allows limited access to that other class abilities as well), crafting your class is a real "deep" science.

3. Vanguard has a quite static class design (cannot customize them too much). But you get 15 classes and a couple subclasses (3 for Monk and Shaman, 5 for Cleric). And the classes are all very complex and the fight system is very dynamic and interesting. With the Blood Mage they have a class I've never seen before, and the Monk and Disciple have a very interesting "Jin" concept (you gain Jin from various abilities which can then be consumed by other abilities).

4. WoW isnt too bad, actually. Even if I dont like the concept of classes that can change their functionality completely. IMHO a class should trade you advantages for disadvantages. Esp the WoW Druid seems to be able to do ANY job (tanking, healing, or damage dealing).

5. Lineage 2. Again an really awfully static system. But L2 had some really nice and unique concepts, and I still miss some of that stuff in other games. The fun I had on my Tyrant ! Yeah, awfully weak class alone. But once you had a good party, it was the killer !

6. Everquest ... hard to say really, as I failed to get any substantial information about it from the net. Seems to be a challenging game, and you definitely need a group there.

7. City of Heroes/Villains. Sounds like an interesting concept, though I havent yet managed to get substantial info about it. And personally, I would never want to play superheroes. Or villains.

8. Dark Ages of Camelot. Repeatedly praised as being most balanced etc. But all information that I could find about it looked absolutely not impressing at all.

9. EVE Online. I'm not really a fan of skillbased systems, and all I know about this MMO doesnt really help, to be honest.

1. EVE Online

2. Ultima Online (pre-multi world uo)

3. World of Warcraft

4. Dark age of Camelot

5. Anarchy Online

6. Everquest

7. Everquest 2

8. LoTR

9. SWG (pre soe days)

10. Matrix

nice.... follow the threads pls.. no offf topic...

^^t.c.

1) Ultima Online.... played it on and off since beta

2) Anarchy Online .... poor start but classic is now free to play

3) DAoC.... enjoyed it for 2 years till the expansions

4) Guild Wars.... a very good "drop back game " when you get burned out on your main MMORPG

5)EQ2... played for about a year till Guild died

6) WoW..... got tired of end game and waiting for groups

7) City of Heros.... fun at begining but lost interest half way

8)Earth and Beyond... now dead, played till the last great battle

9)Ryzom..... good game but poor support... now dead I think

10)RF Online or Archlord both free to play, both with problems but fun.

11) just seen my old box of SWG.... great fun at launch,

Ok I know its 11 but could not leave off SWG :)

FFXI

World of warcraft

Phantasy Star Universe - Not an mmorpg, Online Action game

Phantasy star online BB - Not an mmorpg, Online Action game

Cabal online

Hellgate London - Not an mmorpg, Online Action game

Guild Wars - I wouldn't consider this a full blown mmorpg, More like a Strategy online Action game.

Monster Hunter - Not an mmorpg Online action game

Dungeon Runners

I only have 9 mmorpg's I like Even though I have played about 25 of them. Most are mindless boring lame Korean Grind fest games with like no story what so ever just Kill kill kill...  soooo I can't really pick a 10th.

The reason i like Multi player online action games is because they are much simpler, and quicker to level, Usually very casual and the elitist community that mmorpgs usually build up is not there, especially in Guild wars where every one has the best (Stats) gear in the game. Maybe not looks but all stats are around the same.

1. Asheron's Call

2. Star Wars Galaxies (pre CU/NGE)

3. EverQuest 2

4. EvE

5 - 10 I can't really rank any of the rest because they didn't matter enough to me
