Best community forum I was on was for the now dead game called WISH. Dana knows this, he was a Dev there.

Worst one LOTRO, the elitism that went on there was awful.

 The best community I had the luck in finding was in EQ2, Antonia Bayle RP server. Great people, and the RP community made it a great immersion experience.

The worst is my regular MMO, WoW.

Im on a nice guild wich makes it bearable. But with the new random tool ive been finding some real jerks.

And the worst part is that im so into the game already that sometimes I AM a great jerk. Just today, I insulted a priest for letting the tank die. I was an elitist prick, but I realised it and asked for apologies. My... it's getting on my head already O.O

This website has the worst community I've ever seen.

BEST: Rohan: Blood Feud.  Very skilled and experienced players who share their knowledge with the n00bs.  Also, GMs and mods interact quite a bit with community, including running forum-only contests.

WORST: World of Warcraft.  I think the game itself is good, but with a big game comes a bigger number of idiots.  Not all of them, but enough to sour the experience for me.
 

best - ac2 and eq

worst- darkfall

Worst: WoW

Best: Ryzom

The best for me would have to be a tie between EQ1 and LOTRO.  Both communities were helpful and for the most part polite and mature in character (although every game has it's jacka**'s). Even the forums were (are?) full of decent helpful folks (again with the usual exceptions).

The worst would have to be EVE and I say that as an avid current player. The community in-game isn't too bad actually and there are many helpful players in the help chat channel, but the forums are full of pompous, self-gratifying, egotistical jerks to put it bluntly, and they tend to pull the entire community down with them.

Best: FF11

Worse: Virtually any other "mmo"rpg since they tend to be single player games till high level.

Worst: SWG Bloodfin

Best: SWG Bloodfin

Best: Ryzom and Fallen Earth

Worst: Age of Conan

The community of wow players just make me sick. People talk trash to eachother, ninja, cuss eachother out in chat, intentionally mess with peoples kills epeen to a huge extreme aka gearscore. People are more rude to eachother in this game then any online rpg i have ever played. What gives? what is causing this? Is there any solutions to fix this problem?

Take the forums for example. In order to get any kind of good information from here you have to wade through the sewer of trolling and counter trolling flaming ect. And blizzard just doesnt seem to care about its community. Why isnt there any kind of moderation going on when people are out and out flaming or being rude to people on the forums?

How do we combat all the negativity goin in within this community? Is there any chance? or is it the way it is now and either deal with it, become like it or leave?

Yet here you are.

Best - DAOC

Worst - Guild Wars

Lord of the Rings Online (THE GOOD)

Whether you love Turbine's PVE-centric LOTRO or not, it definitely has the friendliest MMORPG community out there from the get go. You will have friend requests, guild invites, and people offering to help from the second you leave the Shire, on your quest to stab little boars, bears, and wolves on your way up to becoming a Nazgûl slayer.

The LOTRO community is hands down the best out there, seemingly comprised of refugees from other games where l33t-dudes and e-thugs have taken over. If you're looking to escape from the cries of “OMFG NOOB your GEARSCORE is too low to group with me!” then you may want to explore the lands of Middle Earth with this game.

Unlike many other games the community in LOTRO really gets into things, and it's very common to see high level characters spending their time literally just helping out lowbies through dungeons and quests, and the real shocker is if you're looking for help or have a question in general chat, you'll likely get it instead of being trolled by half the server.

2)World of Warcraft (THE AVERAGE)

The Pug Zone is not a place for cute little toy dogs, but a place where “pick up groups” will determine your community interaction. You will likely be grouped with the standard denizens these groups seem to attract without fail – a lootwhore raid leader with an e-peen as big as a bus, his e-girlfriend who won't stop complaining, and about 20 people who have no idea what they are doing but will place the blame of any failure on everyone but themselves. Three of the people will go afk for dinner approximately halfway through the boss pull, and come back when it's time for the loot to be handed out (if you are lucky enough to get to that).

No kidding? Thats been my observation as well. This site in general(and some of the forums in particular...) seem to collect the WORST types from all of the games in question. But like much else, you get what you encourage(or allow in this case). 

BEST - Ragnarok Online : The people there were really friendly and helpful. You could randomly get friends by walking around towns. Though there occasionally are dull people, mostly when looking for a party.

WORST - Runescape : Most of the people playing Runescape are immature. They don't try to reason at all, it's best to play with your public chat set on Hide, Friends or even OFF. No offence.

Best: Tabula Rasa - you felt almost as if they were your own family, I could talk in general and directly someone answered kindly and it was very seldom I found an immature person.

Worst: Conquer online - everyone kills you for no reason and whine. you need to look pretty hard to find someone who speaks good english. many immature people!

Best: DDO or possibly Vanguard.. hard to choose. I'll go with DDO.

Worst: Darkfall. Those of you who put something other than Dorkfall here, clearly havent played it :P

Best community i have ever experienced has to be the one from Final Fantasy XI.

Really doubt there is one better.

Worst has to be between WoW and Darkfall, but I've heard that the community in SWG does nothing but  argue and bitch in chat.

Best: Anarchy Online Test server. Small community, but one big happy family

Worst: WoW..

Interesting example: Some random player shows up and asks for help with creating a guild. He didn't just throw guild charter at me while I'm browsing AH so it's all good I think.. wrong.. very wrong.. I was stupid enough to politely say I don't want to join a guild... next 15 minutes I spent learning interesting new english words that I will never teach to my children.

2 days later, Silithus, that same person, asks for help with quest. I reminded him about that english lesson few days ago, he proceeded to give me another lesson. Ignored.

Trade channel.. I don't spend much time in towns, but god.. that's just horrible

Best:: WoW, yeah there are idiots, but they're outnumbered by actual nice people. Plus haven't been in an MMO that the community stayed in contact and knew about some of the people on the server.

Worst: AoC or WAR. AoC was just constant bitching, warhammer there was no community.
