I'll have to go with Age of Conan as well. I can't believe some of the music in that game. It gives me the goosebumps sometimes. |

I'd like to know what the original poster means by best of the past 5 years, when he starts by saying Vanguard, even though it launched more than 5 years ago, but says WoW doesn't qualify, because it also launched more than 5 years ago. |

WoW doesn't qualify because it sucks. Every single MMOG on the market right now is complete garbage. Every. Single. One. |

Vanguard was out in Jan 07 so it is right on the 5 year mark. Happy anniversary! |

I thought what I'd do is I'd pretend I was one of those Deaf-mutes. |

Originally posted by Shaydryn Lets go play UO together! I vote SWTOR because its the most fun I've had playing any online game of any kind in years, well other than WoW which is apparently disqualified... I liked Aion a lot but it was too PVP centric and I didn't like the crafting so much and the end game was less appealing than others... Also I didn't like the Abyss. I never really gave AoC much of a chance, none of my friends wanted to play it, though I won a copy from here, got to level 32, loved it a lot up to that point... otherwise it might beat out SWTOR in my heart.

This is a personal choice and its Age Of Conan. |

I'll probably get flamed for this but I have to go with Xsyon. |

Originally posted by Cuathon EVE is older than 5 years. imho, there was no good MMO since then, including WoW and EQ2, the foundators of the modern theme-park roughly based on the classic EQ-model. all modern MMOs are just too linear and more in order to be called good. also in the sandbox-department there was no good game. they have been either very unpolished and lacking functions or they focused too much on pvp-everwhere, which prevents success. due to the fact, that there was no good MMO in the last 9 years, the question about "the best" is obsolete. played: Everquest I (6 years), EVE (3 years) |

All of my current gaming friends I made through that game in beta. That game was 100% community. Then there was a flood of new players, and between the server problems and that it really destroyed the game. Sent me an email if you want me to mail you some pizza rolls. |

Sadly, WoW. Other games have had massive potential: WAR, DF, MO to name a few, but none have actually pulled it off. |

It would be WoW, but it is older then 5 years. For me it is a tie between Vanguard, LotRO and AoC. All three are great games, Vanguard wins by small % due to very immersive world and some innovations (diplomacy system, crafting) |

Best solo leveling experience: SWTOR
Best themepark end game experience: WOW - I burned out on it a while ago but it gave me tons of hours of fun
Best PVP: I can't answer that one as I haven't played DAOC, which is likely to be a common answer. But out of the games I have played I'd say old school WOW Alterac Valley was great fun with 10+ hour battles |

for me, the mechanics of many of the more popular and highly rated games are pretty similar (with some exceptions, of course). eventually, the games i keep on my HD and pay for through subs or other transactions use the setting and employ subject matter i most enjoy. to that end, i can not name just one "best" game of the last five years, because my favorite depends solely on my mood that day (week, whatever). but for clarity: Fallen Earth (love the freedom, crafting, firearms, and grand canyon sunsets on my chopper) SWTOR (it's star wars, and i repect the polish and story elements) World of Tanks (MMO-ish at best, i know, but it is a helleva lot of fun, and clan wars lends some persistence) RIFT (does what it does very well indeed, and i like the soul flexibility) Star Trek Online (again, the subject matter is important to me, the space combat is excellent, and my fleet/guild is fantastic)

I normally would have said LotRO, followed by Aion. But as those have since jumped on the F2P bandwagon, that disqualifies them in my opinion. LotRO especially took a complete and total nosedive after the F2P move. I full expect Aion to do the same - it's just the nature of the F2P model.
Wtih that being said, my vote goes to Wizard101. A simple game, but one that I enjoyed more than many mainstream MMORPGs during the past few years. <3 |

Darkfall hands down.
With all its short commings and failings of its own, it still FAR SURPASSED everything else on the market. (and still does, untill gw2/tera/aa comes out) |

My best was UO but.... in the last 5 years...
Probably WoW. Being honest. Im tired of it as you are. Stopped playing a few years ago.
I stuck with EvE for six months. Most of the others not nearly as long. Playing Pirates of the Burning Sea now. Really enjoying it but I think its for genre fans (You like movies like Master and Commander or sailing games).
I have to admit in the end the best mmo in the last 5 years would be WOW. But before that? I enjoyed UO far more.

SWTOR by a long way for me. Just totally consumed my life, my friend's life, my co-worker's life. Just.. yeah... :( Wonder why there seems to be more haters on the internet? Read this by an actual marketing guy to find out why. |

I'm probably going to be yelled at for this, but WAR. Exclusively for PvP. Other games I have tried are just too linear and constricting for my taste. After a couple of hours of such PvE I invariably ask myself "What's the point?" and log off. WAR's PvE is linear and constricting like you wouldn't believe, but at least the PvP is great when it works. |
