We all have rose glasses of games we played back in the day. these were often our first MMORPGs that .. we all remember fondly. 

I've made a list of games that really started off the genre.  I've included WoW because it brought in a lot of people.. and a lot of people still play and enjoy it.  I  have not included Warhammer because it was recently released, as was AoC. 

 

the list represents the games in their prime only.. or the time you remember as the funniest.

 

Favorite MMORPG?

World of Warcraft (2004)
Asheron's Call (1999)
Dark Age of Camelot (2001)
Everquest (1999)
Ultimata online (1997)
Merdian 59 (1996?5?)
Anarchy Online (2001)

In all of my years of MMO gaming I would say it is a tie between

Asheron's Call

and

Lineage 2

 

Games, above all else, are about fun. MMORPG's are no different. If you are not having fun, find something else to do with your time and money and stop your bitchin.

AC1 for me as well. I'd toss Warhammer in the garbage without a moments hesitation, and gladly go back to AC1 again if Turbine was able (or willing) to merge servers and maintain a decent population. But it's just too sad playing that game in a deserted world after knowing it for what it once was. AC1 had so many terrific features that you just don't see in MMORPGs anymore. Randomly generated loot, amazing variety of damage types (and strategies/gear needed to counter them), skill based character development, very good crafting, and a massive seemless world full of interesting features and content. And this is just to mention a few.

I'd also give honorable mention to Pre-CU Star Wars Galaxies. Yet how the same devs who created that truly revolutionary game could later make so many bone headed choices, is beyond me. And I'm talking about even before the CU or NGE.
