any MMO's youve allready playied?

My votes go out to:

Guild Wars 2 (is smaller then most MMOs, but there is no monthly sub)

LOTR:O If you have a craving for Tolkin it is fairly competent.

Star Wars: The Old Republic, likely the most finely polished game on the list, a bonus if you like Star Wars, a Con if you do not.

World of Warcraft: The gold standard so to speak.

The Secret World: more story and puzzle driven then most MMOs making it fairly Unique, based in a very different setting, but still has the standard gameplay elements (for its loss).

Why dont you tell us more of what you want in an mmo?

A setting alone wont do much good. What kind of gameplay do you want.

World Interaction: Sandbox/Themepark
Combat Style: Action/Turn Based/Hotkey
Goal: Endgame raiding/PvP/Politics/Economy
Focus: Story/Combat/Social Interaction
Grouping: Solo Friendly/Group Oriented
Housing: Yes/No
Character Differentiation: Class Based/Skill Based
Genre: FPS/RPG/Strategy

Well, I'm not a big MMO player, but my favorites are The Elder Scrolls Online, Star Wars: The Old Republic and DC Universe Online. Also, it seems to me if there is a sub option for a free to play game it's typically worth it to sub.

This.

Also, what's your habits with MMORPGs and other games? Are you know to stick with a game for years, do you casually play, etc. This and the above questions are important. Today there isn't really a "wrong" MMORPG you can play. You have tons of options.

MMOs where you can quest, PvP and own a house include: EverQuest 2, RIFT, Lord of the Rings: Online, WildStar, RuneScape, Star Wars Galaxies (check out SWG Emu), Ultima Online, however, none of them have any particulary good PvP (anymore). Of these, I would argue that WildStar has the best PvP of the bunch.

Edit: Keep in mind that outside of SWG and Ultima Online, the rest of these games have instanced housing.

Edit 2: Upcoming MMOs with housing will include EverQuest Next, ArcheAge (both available in beta/alpha if you fork out a lot of cash) and The Repopulation. All these games will have non instanced housing. and while I dont know what SOEs vision truly is with EQN, I know that ArcheAge and The Repopulation will have questing and MEANINGFUL open world PvP as well.

I agree with this. Also, some might say Wildstar. While the PvP isn't bad, Archeage player vs player combat is in a league of it's own.

Dude. I started playing ESO again. I enjoyed it at launch but once I got into those VR levels I just felt like there was a lot of unnecessary grinding for endgame content. My friends jumped ship for Wildstar accept for one. I played that for a bit but I wasn't into the questing, plus I was absolutely pissed off how it ran on my AMD system. Most of my dislike for the questing was due to the grind I had already experienced in ESO. And while the humor is funny in Wildstar, I wasn't really immersived in what I was doing. But I did have some awesome PvE experiences with my pals.

I bought Archeage. The game is awesome; but I'm waiting for the launch since I couldn't play it with friends and I didn't want to ruin the mystery. I resubscribed to ESO and they changed the difficulty for the VR levels which I greatly appreciate it. While the combat hasn't been drastically overhauled, it's still has changes to make it more tighter. In fact, Zenimax Online Studios has remained faithful to not only providing fixes and updates from player feedback, but also additional content. After seeing the Quakecon stuff for ESO, I have been playing nonstep. Finally we'll get to see the Imperial City, two new zones with both the Morag Tong and Dark Brotherhood, open-world PvP with the justice system, the Thieves Guild, spellcrafting(god knows I want an AoE CC like the DK's Dark Talon for my Templar tank), we'll finally get to visit Orsinuim, the Champion system, and so much more in the future. Plus there's another big update soon!

You might like Tera. You'll probably get along with the players as they type a lot like you.

ArcheAge or that new Everquest Next I think are the only games worth looking at. They appear to have more freedom like old school SWG, unlike all these stupid WoW clones.

Guild Wars 2, for it's fun, non-traditional mmorpg's combat.
