My favourite MMO so far is Guild Wars 2. It's a game where the community isn't that bad and has a lot of content. Also, there's always new open world events to make the game even more enrhoyable
my favourite mmorpg is Black Desert Online. the combat system is the most unique one out there, it's super fluid and pvp is like a fighting game where combos are very important. sieges are extremely fun because it's really strategic. the downside of the game however is the rng that controls almost everything you do, concerning the cash shop it's one of the least pay to win out there, no matter what other people say. the game has huge potential, but it's up to the developer and publisher to make the right decisions for us here in the west concerning content.
My all time favorite MMO was Star Wars Galaxies from beta until they broke it. The game was very ambitious. All the different templates you can come up with, and all the overpowered mind dot weapons is what made the game fun. The huge battles, exploring planets, visiting iconic locations, player housing and cities, bounty hunting jedi's or being hunted, and anything else I missed set the game apart from others. The game was not perfect, but that is what made it appealing to me. The CU was bearable, but the NGE (I think that's what it was called) killed it.
PlanetSide 2. MMOFPS one of its kind. I just wished SOE gave it more love before launch... hopefully they'll get it right in PS3, but even now, PS2 outpaces any other "grand scale" fps (64 players max, lel).
Hard to pick just one favorite. If pressed to make a decision it would be Dark Age Of Camelot where it all started for me. It's RvR is still unprecedented even 15 yrs later.
Guild Wars 2 is my fave, cause it does not force me to play in groups if i dont want to, i can play most of the content alone, i dont have time to wait for
( and play in ) a group so i just want to jump in, play for an hour or so and then leave.
My favorite MMO was Everquest. I have not played it in years but nothing else has come close in terms of having a place in my heart. I started off making fun of someone playing it at work, then I was convinced to join my co-workers and that was it, I was hooked. Soon after my co-workers all slowly stopped playing but I was playing easily for 5 years straight. I eventually had a 2nd account and would two-box with other friends that also two-boxed and we would have a blast doing all kinds of things. In the evenings, my guild had me for at least 6 hours a night, doing some massive raids. On average we would usually have more than 72 people on for raiding so we started raiding with 2 large groups doing different zones. I was in a guild called Alliance of Hope which was filled with a large number of really good people at the time and i've never forgotten them either unfortunately, eventually work took over, life took care of the rest and I was no longer able to put in so much time to play. I was able to get into Everquest 2 for a while, long enough to do some major raiding but even that had to come to an end.
Aside from Everquest, i've never found any MMO that could grab me and keep me hooked for so long. I still jump into many different games, including Wow (sorry this one didn't grab me much either), Diablo 3, Hearthstone, Overwatch, but they don't keep me playing very long. Funny thing is that I still have a lot of time to play, but a lot of the current games are boring and Everquest now is a bit dated, everyone is so far ahead, and lastly... the community has changed drastically which causes people to lose interest instead of playing more.
My favorite mmo game of all time is Dungeons and Dragons Online. Even with its issues and age at this point the game is still fun and helps fill that D&D itch I always have. Additionally it is one of the few games that allows for some crazy builds and there are a lot of build types available to those playing the game. Overall I have been playing since the head start launch in 2006 with the occasional break to try other games that hooked me for a while. But I always keep coming back to DDO to play and continue to play to this date.
