I don't have a top ten, I'll give 5 Anarchy Online (Pre Item Store) SWG (Pre CU) WoW (Pre patch 2.3) CoH (Pre CoV) Rift (This may or may not be another Pre- Cash Shop caveat) If the conversation turned "Tit-for-Tat", and I've stopped posting, Consider it your win. |

I stand by my list (which is on page 8). I will add, however, that I always played more than one MMO at a time, sometimes 3 of them. EQ2 and WoW I played side by side for 7 years and there were things I like "the most" about each of them. During that 7 years I also played months (or up to a year or a little longer) of some of the other games I listed. UO was my first MMO, I never played EQ1, and I left out MANY games I played such as City of Heroes, Age of Conan, and the godawful Warhammer and Rift. edit: and SWTOR...just no. Personal taste yes. We all differ along those lines. Again....I stand by my list and consider none of it "dubious," at least in my own opinion. Those were the 10 best MMOs I've played.
edit: As the post below says, I stuck with the 10 games that gave me the most enjoyment. President of The Marvelously Meowhead Fan Club |

That's why I only listed 6
There are others I could have filled out to ten with e.g. wow before they hired all those EQ guys and made it a raid grinder, war after they fixed the performance but before bioware took over, tsw before I hit endgame, still struggling for a number 10. But I just went with games that gave me unconditional enjoyment. |

1. Asheron's Call 1 - Best quests, open world, and dungeons (prior to 3rd party software and mass macros took over) 2. Darkfall Online - Best pvp gameplay 3. DAoC - just an over all great game
Maybe not my thing but worth mentioning in no order:
UO - never played it heard good things SWG - same as above WoW - is a legend in it own way and deserve mentioning |

My guess would be that Everquest was somewhere around 1 million subscribers at its peak. I can't find any exact numbers. Wikipedia has an uncited quote putting them at 450,000 in 2003. I'm sure it was higher than that though. I remember them making a big deal out of having 100,000 simultaneous logins for the first time around that period, and I doubt they had nearly 1/4 of their active accounts logged in, so I would assume much higher than 450,000 subscribers at its peak. They also had something around 80 servers or so when it peaked (don't remember exact number). I'm sure for pre-WoW MMOs Lineage was in fact bigger than Everquest though just because of its massive Asian population. In the United States, EQ was unquestionably the largest pre-WoW MMO, however. As for my list, I'm not sure I've played 10 MMOs that I really enjoyed, but I'll give it a go: Everquest WoW Asheron's Call Planetside (I'll list this over PS2 since the sequel is not finished) RIFT Star Wars: The Old Republic
All other MMOs I've played did not go past the free month, so I will not list any more. |

Originally posted by defector1968 Plus, lots of EQ players made it their life's mission (at the time) to be sure that everyone knew Foreign Subs Don't Matter. So we can safely dismiss Lineage. Then, in 2006 (roughly), millions of WoW players made it their life's mission to ensure everyone knew that, of course, Foreign Subs Really Matter. Argument ad numerum, of course, just just kept right on spinning its wheels. |

1. Ultima Online 2. WOW 3. GW2 4. SWTOR

Asheron's Call.
I don't consider anything else released adequate.
Now an AC slash Wurm, that would be a game worth playing. |
