The original AOL NeverWinter Nights.

Definitely AC2.     AC2 died because it was released way to early and was broke and couldn't be fixed in time.  I always felt that WoW combat was watered down AC2 combat and the talent tree system was borrowed from AC2's skill tree's.

LoTRO without the lore is an inferrior version of AC2 in my opinion.  AC2 combat was much better and so was the character custimization.   Take that with random loot, no lore limitations, complete creative control for turbine and much more of a sandbox type game environment, they would have a game with 100-150k subs easily.

Earth & Beyoond

Motor City Online

UO, with the same community when it released.  The same people who never knew what "PvP", "PvE", "Gank" or "LOL" was... people who just played the great sandbox in the sky.

Scratch that, I guess I just want the mature community that I once had back then.

Everquest (pre-Luclin)... including the original graphics... that would have some nostalgic appeal.  I'll never forget starting out in Freeport as an MMO n00b, trying to type a message in chat, forgetting to hit 'enter' on my keyboard first, instead hitting 'a' for autoattack, and getting 1-shotted by a guard. 

Also, DAoC pre-ToA... that game had the best PvP (RvR) to date in my opinion, without any of the game unbalancing issues that seemed to start cropping up with the Trials of Atlantis...

im going to throw one in the mix auto assault . my reason's behind it

it was different i felt that if they had invested the time in expanding the hubs it could of been a goos game . i know i lot will not agree with me but i enjoyed it

Does this count?

The project died before release.  I think it would have been good.

The above two would be my first two choices as well.

I would also put Vanguard on the list as well as Horizons (at least what i thought Horizons was supposed to be).

And my guess is they'll have to wait about another six months for their wish to come true. C'ya there.

I would add that MUDs would be an enjoyable diversion from the graphics before gameplay philosophy which dominates the industry at this time

I played the late AC2 and by that stage it was good, and also original. Questionable design decisions- why it had an xp debt when it had so few players and especially new players I'll never know.

The original version of Ultima Online and Star Wars Galaxies Pre-CU.  Bring back the originals of both games.

Planetside

Shadowbane.  Oh I know, it's still going, but it really needs an infusion of a new engine/graphics.

This. 

It is three years since the servers shut down and AC2 has still active fan forums - much more active than many games on this site. I hope AC2 will revive once more, with or without Turbine. 

To those 200, 000 SWG fans waiting for TOR.....Don't!   ToR is going to be the exact opposite of a sandbox game, it's completely story driven. Different  quest paths will open depending on your actions or responses, but thats the only way it is not linear. I'm hoping it will feel epic and heroic but it won't be about open exploration  and player freedom which is what I gather most SWG fans miss.

These games are dead for a good reason.

• From earth and beyond!
• Old SWG!

SWG pre cu, Dark Age of Camelot pre TOA, AC2 are the ones I miss the most.
