I listed the most talked about MMOs.

Which is the best MMO?

World of Warcraft?
Everquest 2/Vanguard?
Warhammer/DAOC?
Shadowbane?
City of Heroes/Villians?
Guild Wars?
Asherson Call?
Ultima Online?
LOTRO?
Age of Conan?

There is no best there is only personal preference...

Btw why do you add 2 different games into one option?

For me: WoW, for one pure and simple fact. Quality, it's the most polished one out there with the least bugs.

The last years we were dumped with unfinished games and I'm glad someone still says no to that practice in the industry. (and not just the MMO part of it)

Well, my favourite is:

World of Warcraft:

- The community is amazing.
- Updates all the time.
- Great gameplay.
- Exciting action-packed combat.
- Great PvE

What else do you want?

They are owned by the same company and vangurad/eq2 players mostly like both games and both games are basicly the same, same goes for DAOC/WAR.

Yet there are EQ2 players who don't touch vanguard and vice versa, and the same with WAR/DAOC. If you truely want an unbiased view split em up. now you'll only get ratings boosted by 2 camps ;)

Most MMO features are based of previous games, so I really think you took a shortcut with saying both games are similar. Anywho enough "whine". It's your poll :)

I agree with the above poster that it is all down to personal preference.

Personally the 'best' for me would be WoW. There is nothing out there that to ME reaches that level of polish, content and depth. I also really love the art direction and colour palette. I don't want realism in my games - I have real life for that.

You totally skipped Final Fantasy 11.

I think this guy is spot on, its all up to the player which game he thinks is the best, For me it was Ultima Online and im looking forward to what Darkfall will bring to the mmorpg genre, it may be the best mmo next year or it might dissapoint like AoC.

Real Life.   It's such an advanced game you can even use game mechanics to make MMOs.

Why limit it to just those few?  Open up the Quick Gamelist and you'll see there's like 10x-100x that, and everyone knows Silkroad Online's the best MMO

It does come down to personal preference.

I hate WOW.

I like WAR.

WOW does not give me what I want in a game. WAR does.

 Yep its the best game in the whole wide world if you have a bot program, just cruise the way to max level while watching videos on youtube.

Hard decision between Ultima Online and DAoC.  I would vote for DAoC, but you bunched it with that piece of shit Mythic likes to call "WAR".

Well it may not be the best ever, but I've been playing Sword of the New World lately (Granado Espada).  Awesome graphics and free!!  I played grind till you puke ( WOW )  for 1 year and then quit.  Here's one for ya.  If they took all the things you can do in Runescape and strapped that with some actual graphics maybe my little bro would stop complaining about the $5 he keeps wasting every month.  lol.  Ok Ok, I played runescape too.

FFXI was the best to me, but out of your list i picked Lotro for its lore and community.

EVE is the only MMO that stands apart, whether you like it or not. You'll have a hard time argue that it is not among those much spoken about. So I guess you missed the true star OP.  

I am not dedicated enough to MMOs to play it myself, though it would be to moronic to recommend it without having tried it.

Maybe I'll just pass by and vote for GW.

Just a question of personal taste? If you leave out the just I might agree, but the personal taste may tell more about you than the game you rate, I think.
