is wow the best MMORPG ever?

[funhorroryes]

guys i am starting to think that WOW is the best and only MMORPG that will ever have a huge consistant player base.

i personally played it 1 - 60 and loved it, i quit after however because i couldnt be bothered going through the whole re gear after each expansion that i'd been through several times with EQ.

i know you are all going to start bagging WOW, but seriously, think about it.. it has so many players, it even has online dating websites for people aimed towards WoW players.

every time a new MMORPG comes out and fails people just say 'it copied wow too much' what if it isnt insanely possible to make an MMORPG that isn't virtual reality because it just copies wow all the time because bliz literally just made the best MMORPG ever?

think about it.

If it was the best MMO they wouldn't be doing everything in their power to draw the people who left back [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]. Free cataclysm, free level 80, free name change, free server Xfer etc etc.

It will take a long time... but it will eventually spiral into a lot smaller playerbase. Plus they are working on a new MMO but not a lot of info about it out there atm.

EDIT: I do agree though WoW 1-60 was darn good... even TBC was actually really neat... Wotlk was when things turned sour for me.

EQ allows me to go afk far more to do things other than grind for pixels while I grind for pixels. It probably has allowed for afk time than any other MMO I've played, which instantly makes it better than any other MMO that I've played.

I wish there was an authentic, dedicated, intelligent group of developers like the ones we have for Project 1999 making a Project 2004. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I would be able to play the best created MMOs ever!

Usually when you get a Vanilla WoW server it has very few people on it, stupid custom changes, item/equipment vendors etc. Live WoW has the same issue as live EQ, they both are garbage.

Also, Death Knights killed PvP...whatever that grab move was, they didn't think it through. Turned large scale PvP into a joke for all the melee classes.

Then making the Kung Fu Panda expansion - there's no coming back from that.

in my opinion no wow isn't the best mmo. It just came around at the right time and utilized the casual gamers. It was a whole different style than i like to play.

eq1 definately the best mmo overall however wow vanilla had some of the best world pvp I've ever seen. city raids, huge battles at windmills, rip vanilla wow.

WoW was EverQuest For Dummies, which as it turns out, there are a lot of. You will never go broke appealing to the lowest common denominator.
