EVE Online.

Anarchy Online. Blew me away, and I still play it from time to time.

Second. DaoC, only for the PvP

Third: UO

Tabula Rasa, it's horrible when 'your' MMO goes under =( But at least TOR looks pretty awesome.

So far the Hello Kitty beta has been awesome. #1 game of all time!

 EVE Online or Lotro, both have an exceptional atmosphere.

From 1999-2001 it was EQ...

From 2001-Present it was DAoC...

We'll see if Aion can pick up where DAoC left off...

FFXI !!!!!!!!!!!

I have played only a few (see sig) but EvE online is my fav. by a large margin.

SWG pre-cu, it was my first

WoW

EQ classic (original EQ+kunark+velius+luclin).

To planestasd....whatever.

Everquest 1 was not the first 3d MMORPG for HEAVEN'S SAKE.

It would take you 30 seconds to check out google to find out what was first. You obviously are unable to do that so I do it for you. MERIDIAN 59 released in 1996. The game is still up.

Exactly it's my opinion that m59 was too much of an old fart it was before my time and I don't care. Plus they didn't do anything revolutionary it was a Doom ripoff.

My favorite MMOs were the REAL MMOs, before WoW came out.

Dark Age of Camelot was my personal favorite having the great PvE of EQ and PvP like no other. I think Asheron's Call PvE was better than DAoC, but man, you cannot beat 600 man battles for relics in the frontiers.

MMOs have been very bad for a while, Darkfall is my current favorite.

I'm still subscribed to Asheron's Call with 4 accounts active. I look forward to the day they re-release some new form of Asheron's Call.

best pvp ever... This game is sill fun=P

Everquest for me. Eq is what started me out playing MMO's

Luminary Online for me.. ^^

My favourite MMO of all time would have to be Guild Wars. I have a major weakness for games that actually have a storyline and out of the games I've played, this game is the only one that actually made me feel as if I was part of the storyline, instead of just a spectator. And, unlike a single player rpg (which I know some people will tell me that I might as well be playing) it actually has an ingame community. My alliance, for one, is extremely active, and we always have a conversation going on.

Moreover, I love the characters in the game, from the henchmen to the heroes to the npcs. Honestly, some of them really are extremely cute, not just appearance wise. This is the first time I've ever had the urge to write fanfiction for a computer game; I find the characters that interesting.

 DAOC, while I have enjoyed other games nothing has ever come close.

#1 by miles SWG pre-cu, best online game ever. Had such high hopes for MMOs after SWG launched, and then WOW came out and turned every MMO after it into a mindless grindfest with no respect for its players.

#2 would be Battleground Europe (World War II Online)

Planetside

Dark Age of Camelot.

Legend of mir

UO or Shadowbane. I really love a truly open world of pvp, non-instanced. No quests, no b.s. just pure pvp. Shadowbane might eek out UO a little, cause of the massive battles, the politics, etc When you can run up the crest of a hill and see hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of enemy players just come flooding over top another hill toward you.. Yea nothing else has produced a rush of pvp awesomesauce like Shadowbane since.

Sadly, no mmo thus far has been able to recreate this, too many carebear mmos (yea I play WoW atm, its a time killer for me, I spend most of the time pvping even though theres no risk or reward *sigh*)

City of heroes at different stages in its existence. Great community, amazing powers in its golden age, no stress, team oriented, great graphics, the best character creation system til CO came out, the ability to fly, enjoyable combat mechanics making it at one time the most fast paced and multifaceted pvp I had found, until "unlucky" i13.  Was quite a game, once upon a time.
