The Best MMORPG's

Just wondering what the good members of Gamespot think is the best MMO on the market today.

Lord of the Rings Online Shadow of Angmar

World of Warcraft

Guild Wars

EverQuest 2

Runescape

these are just a few that come to mind, please suggest more and don't forget to vote.

I don't like Guild Wars much, but I don't think of it as not being an MMORPG. Since everything MMO is compared to WoW, think of Guild Wars as a reverse WoW. Less open areas where you are able to interact with everyone else, and many, many more instances. Actually, 90% instance.

Ok, dumb comparison, but either way, GW is just a smaller scale MMORPG.

I played WoW for a year or so before I quit, and it's probably the best MMORPG out right now. Do I have th emost fun playing it, however? No. I'd prefer to play a different MMO. But it's the best designed game on the market.

I just don't play it.

Runescape was actually a very fun game for me.. maybe you werent playing it right :P. but WoW wins.

It isn't about what you like personally, it's about what's more popular. Runescape is actually pretty popular. Most people play because either they can only play browser games, they can only afford $5 a month, or they like the game. The game is good for me with friends, but it pisses me off when they say it's crap for me to play WoW and pay $15 for a game every month when they are paying HUNDREDS of dollars for next gen consoles... -.-" PC is all you need, people! Ever...

Of course WoW is more popular, but FFXI should be up there. ;)

I loved Runescape for about 2 years then i went on to WoW and thought it was really awful and Finally i moved onto LOTRO which is working out really well, I wouldn't go as far as calling runescape bad it's pretty good as an introduction to mmo's

From my experience of playing almost every good MMO out their ive found the best (not just my favorites but the best designed etc) are:

1. FFXI- By far the most intricate and well made MMO out there with the best storylines and the biggest and best looking world you can explore, some dont like it though due to the fact its much harder than most MMO's and takes more time. If your up the the challenge it wont disappoint.

2. WoW- Obviously WoW has to be on the list lol, its very well made, good world and an overall really good MMO.

3. Ragnarok- This is one of my very first MMO's ive ever played and its still one of my favorites, good characters and quests, and the whole feel of the game is very well done.

Theirs more but ill just mention my top 3.

Gotta admit I played WoW for a while and I was lef thinking "god this game is overated"

Remove Guild Wars (not MMO) and Runescape (crap) and add DAoC, EVE, UO.RK-Mara

Agree. DAoC, EVE, and UO, are among the best mmorps out there. GW is not mmo and Runscape sux.

Runescape was actually a very fun game for me.. maybe you werent playing it right :P. but WoW wins.

I played WoW, I had a 70. I'm done with that game and need it to be destroyed by another mmo. Wow steals men's souls and makes them it's slaves. Although what is a man if not just a dirty pile of secrets?

why does everyone seem to be obsessed with WoW does it brian wash you on the log in screen or something?LedZeppelin1977

EQII is deep, balanced, has superior graphics, music and sound, and has *by far* the best social interaction mechanisms of any MMO. And after all, if that wasn't important, then we'd all just play single-player games, wouldn't we?

The guild system really works, and group play is challenging and satisfying. And so far, SOE hasn't found a way to ruin it yet :-)

BYe

I've tried most of the ones you mentioned and got bored in the end. Got into Eve recently and i'm having the best mmo experience everSamiRDuran

No Warhammer love here? WAR's PvP is unmatched. I've never had so much fun in a MMO than in this one for that sole reason. And this is coming from someone who was traditionally PvE/solo focused. Almost cancelled my sub because the pve in this game lacks a little, then I decided to actually play the RvR a bit and now I'm hooked.TheCrazed420

It applies everywhere including PC gamers: They can't think outside the box or look around for true quality.
