Although I played EQ for 4 years compared to the 6 month I played DAoC, DAoC was clearly the better game. It just came at a time when I had completely burned out.

What discussion should there be? People trolling eachother trying to convince everyone else that they dont really like those games that they listed?

Only listing 6 since anything after that it was more than likely played a few months and never came back.

1. EVE (Beta  - 2008)

2. WoW (BC - Present)

3. EQII (Beta - 2012)

4. RIFT (Beta - Present)

5. Warhammer (Beta - 2011)

6. LOTRO (MoM - 2011)

1: Lineage 2

2: EQ2 

3: Vanguard: Saga Of Heroes

4: Star Wars: The Old Republic

5: Atlantica

6: Grenado Espada 

7: Jade Dynasty

8: Allods (post CS cockups)

9: War Of The Immortals

10: Could be RaiderZ after playing the stress test this weekend and having lots of fun.

1) City of Heroes (unmatched character customization, and ability to design your own missions)

2) Star Wars: The Old Republic (story intensive)

3) Ultima Online (classless system, not to mention treasure hunting!)

4) World of Warcraft (It's Warcraft! And it merged the best aspects of the MMO's of that day)

5) Dungeons and Dragons Online (best quest/mission design - and it even has traps that need disarming!)

6) Lineage 1 (you never forget your first)

7) Warhammer: Age of Reckoning (I liked having the ability to level entirely on PvP if you chose to)

8) Guild Wars 2 (low on the list since I got sidetracked, but I like what I've seen and the various systems they have in game)

9) DAoC (I liked the setting and gameplay)

10) All the rest that I've tried briefly (ArchLord, Red Moon, Silkroad Online, etc...)

Here is my list:

1. Asheron's Call (first 3D sandbox, PvP MMORPG. Simply was nothing like it on the PvP Darktide server. Played on and off for 3-4 years)
2. Ultima Online (My first MMORPG and the PvP was quite good. Had alot of issues though in regards to PvE and the GFX was not 3D. Played for over a year)
3. City of Heroes (Best PvE MMORPG I ever played and the Super Hero backset was innovative and really cool. Played for about a year)
4. Warhammer Online (Best ThemePark PvP I played. Innovative with cool class mechanics, taunt which worked in PvP, defensive targets and Public Quests and finally being able to level only by doing PvP. Played for 7-8 months)
5. Star Wars Galaxies, pre-NGE (really cool sandbox MMORPG which really captured the Star Wars feeling. However the combat was a bit lacklustre so I did not stick to it for long. Played for a few months)
6. Shadowbane (Best city building PvP game. Played for about 6 months)
7. Final Fantasy IX (Second best cooperative PvE game I played. Was hard and the fights were intense. Huge depth in crafting)
8. Guild Wars 2 (best PvE ThemePark I played. Cool weapon-skill combination. Dynamic quests are much more fun than static quest hubs. PvP dissapoints though. Played for about 2 months and currently playing)
9. TERA (Best GFX in an MMORPG which I have ever seen and the combat was really fun and innovative. Rest of the game is found lacking though. Played for 2 months)
10. Eve (Great sandbox and space-ship MMORPG which unfourtunately is low on the list because of extreme scamming and ganking that is going on and even encourages by the devs. Also the UI is horrible. Played on and of for a couple of years.)

i would have to say that DAOC is my favorite all time mmo--played until TOA took over.

honorable mentions are :

everquest 1 (First MMO)---played until raiding completely took over (just before luclin i believe)

Guild Wars 2-----playing now

World of Warcraft---played until raiding took over (i hit 60)

While i like science fiction, mmo's based on it dont seem to work for me.

UO, pre-Renaissance.

1: Everquest

2: DAoC

3 : Everquest 2

4 : Vanilla WoW

5: SWG

1. DAOC
2. Asheron's Call
3. Ultima Online

1. SWTOR

2. EQ2

3. LOTRO

These 3 games are/were keeping my interest for a long time (from launch).

Please respect my opinion even if you do not agree with it

1. Star Wars Galaxies (pre nge)

2. Lord of the Rings Online

3. Age of Conan

4. World of Warcraft

5. Everquest 2

6. Warhammer Online

7. City of Heroes

8. RIFT

9. Champions Online

10. Star Wars The Old Republic

1) Asheron's Call--The very first MMO I actually played and I was hooked by the sheer openness of it all, nights at the Lugian Citadel, runs around Tusker Island, player housing on the beach, those run for your life moments racing towrds a portal chased by a bazillion baddies-back when to learn new spells you had to experiment with colored candles and such and let's not forget the leap of faith getting into the "Subway"-good times!

2)Vanilla WoW

3)City of Heroes/Villains--lordy lordy the introduction of one of the all time best forms of character customization for players ever seen at that time in gaming, the options were near limitless and many people spent more time creating new and totally original characters then any other game..fun all around.

4)Rift--Good all the way around, they had me at the shiny hunting! My first real in-depth attempt at PVP and I loved it, I could earn rewards, gear, and xp so it felt like I was still progressing--matches were quick and deadly so part timers could really enjoy themselves alongside the hardcore gamers. Toon development is decent, some armor sets are a lil' lacking, but the game kept me trucking for over a year and one I would most likely go back to.

5)Champions Online--Decent gameplay, loved the power sets and character customization. Missions and such were pretty detailed and some giant bosses made for fun nights...not to mention force blasting some villain off a high rise..hehe evil deeds!

6)Allods Online--I know I know, for many it wasn't even on the radar, but holy heck was it decent for being a freebie and was a decent all around game until the death patch that made the cash shop almost required, so many people left that it almost died in some cases, but it's still kicking around and one to always keep on the back burner just in case. Gibberlings ftw!

7)The Secret World--thinking about going back, eventually. I like the whole creepy feel of it and some of the story lines. The cut scenes can be a lil' bit overkill sometimes, but it adds to the whole feel of the game. PvP can be enjoyable, but needs some work and some of the bugged missions/quests need to be fixed, but overall really enjoyable.

That's about it, I don't have any more I would consider as being list worthy. I did and haved play GW2, and EQ2, and many many more, but the above listed were the only ones that really stuck in memory and as personal opinion were some of the mo'better times in my gaming history.

1. SWG(all even though I hate that they put in NGE)

2. UO

3. DAOC

4. PS2(even though its currently not out yet, playing beta and havin fun)

5. GW2

6. WoW(of the old)

7.  DCUO

8. STO

9. SWTOR

10. Champions Online

If you are wondering why SWG is my best is because thats about the only real MMO out there IMO. A legend of a game.

Why UO? well because it was a very good game for its time and its what started all this. DAOC, the other legend of a game, love it. 

Planetside 2 is the best FPS mmo I have played ever..... Why is guild wars 2 ranked that low? well because its no where near SWG's presence imo.

WoW of the old, even though I don't really like the game, I still think its one of the best regardless, yes its like I have a split personality, I'm saying I don't like it and saying its one of the best.

Why did DCUO make my list? well because that game is just so much fun(i know its not a good reason dont know how to explain the secret recipe of DCUO, love the animations the most, quite fast paced.

STO was a good game without the pay to win based game, space was pretty fun and combat overall even though it lacked SWG space.

SWTOR is even lucky to even make my list, the game was alot of fun with the story and animations, it just couldn't keep up with my speed burning through things and didn't have a good replay value but hey look at the brightside, it made my list.

Champions Online is one of the best mmos as well IMO, the game was almost as fun as DCUO but CO didn't last me long enough, didn't even last as SWTOR did.
