    FFXI was were the big boys use to hang. Took me over a year to grind my first job to 75. Every piece of good armor was hard-earned and well-worn. COP quest took months/years to complete. Too bad they went the WOW(played for awhile too) route and made questing and leveling super easy now. Last time I played all I saw were max level noobs with crap gear and no idea how to play. This writer probably never played ffxi, hence it's not up there. I think ranking should be done for paid subscribers + years in service. Obviously WoW would be #1 but ffxi would make 2-3.

    I wholeheartedly agree with #5. LOTRO is amazing; it's basically one giant loveletter to tolkien fans. AND it's free to play now. I'm a current subscriber and since Turbine just keeps adding content I will probably continue to be for a long while.

    EVE Online. Been on and off over 2 and a half years. Still love it, though I wish there were more hours in a day.

    I don't care what anyone says... I love Mabinogi >< I just can't get into any other MMO as I can't stand having a set class (which most MMO's have...) The only thing that is a little annoying about it is that Nexon seems a little money-grubbing at times >-<; (oh and I have tried WoW, but I just couldn't get into it >< Not to mention that even if I did like it, eventually I would have to pay a subscription fee... and I HATE subscriptions for games .__. Plus I'm poor)

    I wouldn't put them in the same vein as these mmo's here, but I've had a lot of fun with Dragon Nest, Rusty Hearts, and Vindictus. That said, I'll be saving up for a new computer (my rig is five years old and it's still holding together admirably) so that I can get the most out of GW 2 And maybe even SWtoR if (when?) it goes free to play. It's the closest I'll ever get to KotOR 3 anyway D:

    Everquest 2 should be listed on here. It has been going strong for many years. Still has expansion packs coming out and has a large community. Since it went FTP the population increased and Sony has been adding a lot of new content.

    How does DC Universe Online work? Everyone gets a super hero? Can't imagine walking around in a town full of batmans ans supermans...

    It's explained like so: *EXPOSITION* In the distant future, there's a big war where everyone but Lex Luthor dies. Braniac invades, kills everyone (but Lex Luthor) and condenses the superpowers into these things called Exobytes. Luthor steals the Exobytes and time-travels to the past to warn the Justice League about the invasion. They release the Exobytes to turn everyone into Metahumans so they can train them and fight off Braniac. *EXPOSITION* So everyone is either a Hero or Villain of their own creation (you choose your powers, costume, etc.) who trains under an established Hero or Villain (Batman, Superman, or Wonder Woman for Heroes, Joker, Luthor, or Circe for Villains). I recommend it, even if you don't read comics, it's a really solid game.

    I'm still a huge fan of WoW. Still play it, still enveloped in its lore (Jaina Proudmoore: Tides of War is a fantastic novel), and I foresee myself playing it for quite the years to come. That said, I still bought SWTOR day one and loved it to DEATH. I'm very glad they're going F2P, but with benefits for long-time subscribers like myself. It's really great to see them alive, and I pray another Galaxies doesn't happen. Also glad to see a little love for Warhammer Online. It was definitely a fun time when I played it, especially being a Games Workshop fan across the board (no pun intended). Every race/class really captured what Warhammer was all about, especially the WAAAGGGH of the Orks. Great game, and I wish I had all the time in the world to squeeze that into my MMO list. Good article, Coop. I know see you as our resident GamesRadar MMO connoisseur. ;)

    Heh, nice one, putting TORtanic on the list at all. ... Oh wait, you're serious.... oh my...
  • Viron - September 12, 2012 8:07 p.m.

    Nice troll attempt friend. Maybe next time you could actually think of something original, instead of the same thing everyone has seen a million times over. You know like SWTOR's combat system.

    Prostitution is illegal tho..
  • GamerTom27 - May 11, 2012 6:47 a.m.

    It's World Of Warcraft every time for me. No contest. Although I do like a bit of Rift, which should be much higher up this list of Best Ever MMORPGs: http://www.btoe.com/lists/best-mmorpg-on-earth I've just voted for it. I do like DC Universe too.
  • maria-ger - April 10, 2012 1:07 p.m.

    I play Jade dynasty, and love it :)
  • ObliqueZombie - March 18, 2012 11:26 a.m.

    I'm still happily playing SWTOR, and I can't get enough of it. It actually makes me, you know, CARE about what I'm doing. Let alone my character that's more than a name and race. I'll be playing it for years to come, I can assure you.
  • Kristianna - March 21, 2012 3:16 p.m.

    I second that :)

    Look, I'd love to buy it. I played the Beta and the recent Weekend Pass and I got really sucked in to the stories of the Bounty Hunter and the Smuggler. BUT (and it's a big but) it just seems way too expensive for me to buy and subscribe to. You have to pay 35 quid straight off, then another 19 quid per two months? World of Warcraft needs no initial purchase (I think, correct me if I'm wrong) and is 9 quid for a month, but has such a dedicated fan-base and is frankly much older and more developed than SWTOR so it can pull it off. If they cut the price of the initial purchase and game time (maybe 20, 25 quid initially and 12-15 per two months of game time) then I would buy it and certainly finish every character's story before I ended my subscription. It is a great game, and deserves to be a paid game but it's just too expensive, IMO.

    Oh, and I'm personally addicted to Champions Online at the moment. Not the king of MMO's, but fun.
