Oh good grief. WoW is not half of what EQ was. All MMO's have their faults. You want the best Pvp, go play Dark Age of Camelot.
I personally think EQ2 was the best MMO from about the six month period up to the Kunark release. Unfortunately the WoW money wave got into the heads of the SOE people who valued massive amounts of money over steady profit and a good product.
Original EQ though was awesome. I think it was because it was the first real online game of its kind that I played. It held me in its thrall. Dark Age of Camelot and EQ2 did that. WoW never did.
I'll give Lord of the Rings Online a nod for good game as well, but it wasn't as good as EQ2. The ability to play music in LOTRO was a great treat.

I've always felt LOTRO, while obviously a WoW clone in some ways, was a better game than WoW. On the other hand, EQ2 at realease, and for a good time afterward, was fucking terrible. I distinctly remember the frustration of mobs warping into the walls and being able to hit you, but you couldn't hit them back. It was due to the designers making multiple mobs fan out evenly in front of you instead of being clumped up like in EQ1. Instant warping into walls. And the game still sucks.
