Best MMORPGs (not just best looking)

I really like MMOs... But am not really a big PC gamer, I am saving up for a better rig, but anyway...Can someone tell me what you think the best MMOs are

AoC is fantastic in a hundred ways, and fatally flawed in a hundred more.

Have no idea why more people don't play EQII than they do. Beautiful, balanced, great social infrastructure, rich endgame content with raids that really work.

And it's not for everybody, but I think Eve Online is the perfect MMO. It's a little quirky and "European-like" - you almost never see your own body, for instance - just your spacecraft - but it has the best PvP in gaming, for instance. But it's not for everybody.

From what I've heard

Everquest 2 has the best traditional fantasy mmo PVE
EVE Online is otherwise the most well-regarded

for best pvp in a recent MMO,
Warhammer

if you want to go older,
Dark Ages of Camelot
Ultima Online
