I've made a compilation of the best MMOs to see what you all think is the absolute best, most fun and iconic game out at the moment! I'd vote for all of them if I could because they are all so great, but you can only vote for one!

What is the best MMO?

Everquest
Everquest II
Vanguard: Saga of Heroes
Star Wars Galaxies
Pirates of the Burnin Sea
The Matrix Online
Planetside

Blah.  Not including games like World of Warcraft, EVE, Lord of the Rings or City of Heroes in the poll makes it pretty worthless.  Just another "Which of the games I like you like as well?" poll.

You're kidding right?

First of all the most inarguably "iconic" game isn't even on the list.  Secondly, where is LotRO?  SWG....wtf....are you kidding me?

Lengthen the list a bit and I'm sure more people will be able to "vote."

If I was "forced" to vote for one on that list, which I did not...I suppose I'd have to vote for EQ2.  But I do NOT believe that it is the BEST MMO out.  I MIGHT think it's one of the best of 2 or 3 decent ones you mentioned.  Anyway....I was unable to answer this poll.

---------------------
After having played most major MMOs on the market, I am presently waiting to see what game developers will do with the genre. In the meantime, I have returned to EQ2 and single player RPGs. I support games of all genres. Every gamer should have a game they truly enjoy.

Those are all SOE games. And I think they are all on station pass. I am guessing the OP wants to know which of them to play cause he just opened a station pass.

So with that in mind, you might want to answer. EQ2 is the best out of that group in my opinion.

Read his name backwards.  It's a troll thread.  As troll threads go, this one is kind of funny, though.

But really, if you want to restrict to games published by SOE, the correct answer is Infantry.

Two there should be; no more, no less. One to embody the power, the other to crave it.

Where are the games like WoW, WAR, LotRO, Eve, and the list goes on? We also had a recent poll about this on this very site, as an official poll, and Lord of the Rings Online won.

Why do people mention lotro, war and eve, but not Lineage/Lineage 2?

Because they are "Korean grinders".

It is just because I was mentioning the first few off the top of my head and remember seeing them in the poll. I didn't mean anything ill by leaving Lineage and L2 out of my quick post.

Op your poll is lacking so i didnt vote.

Eve Online in my opinion is the best game.

No vote from me either, you forgot some in your poll... so it makes this poll irrelevant, misleading and plain stupid.

You guys haven't noticed that all of those games are SoE games, and the Op's name is John Smedley backwards?  You guys are blind!

I vote EQ, no matter what is on the list. However you are a douche for not including other games, as already mentioned, because there are not to many that would vote for any of these SoE published games. I'm guessing any game you play your toon is a Troll, John.

This poll fails, I vote FFXI, because that's the one I'm playing right now that doesn't have me twiddling my thumb in boredom.

Looking Forward to:Final Fantasy 14!!! STO and STOR and the Wheel of Time.

Playing: WoW,FFXI,LOTRO,EQ2,WAR,AoC(off and on)

Poor SOE... each year, someone else makes a better game. If only Sony could learn or fire the directors and replace them with competent people, maybe we would respect them a bit more...

Seriously... Gunbound is better then all these games. EQ2 is not bad, I will admit..

Dont mean to rain on your parade, but are these "your" preferred best because . . . there are other big hits like GuildWards, Second Life and Lineage which aren't on your list and that have probably a larger subscribership than others on your list....not that I like any of them...just saying.

All you included in the poll suck.
