It's hard to say which MMO is best, especially since some MMO's were only good for a certain period of time, and then changed for the worse. In most cases that iteration of the MMO is lost forever.

This, I think, more than any other single factor represents the ultimate doom of the MMO-RPG genre. They're fleeting. Even when a person finds a game he likes soon enough it morphs into something completely different--often detrimentally so. It has happened to me numerous times throughout the years as well as probably most other users on this forum. Hence why I'm here on P1999 with its forever time-locked environment.

In trying to type a response to the original question I realized I can't: I haven't played any of the present generation of MMO-RPGs. Not Elder Scrolls, not Final Fantasy, not any expansion of Warcraft made in the past ten years, not Old Republic--I haven't touched any of them. I'll say EQ was the best of its kind when it first came out, as it represented a large jump over games like Meridian59 or Ultima Online. It remained best probably at least until Warcraft came out. Call EQ the "Ford model T" of its genre: It wasn't the first, and had plenty of room for improvement, but it put the genre on the map.
