If you could only recommend ONE mmorpg...
Which one would it be and why?
Out of the current slate of games you can play right now, which ones are still the best overall?
Can be themepark or not. Which ones are worth playing and which ones are worth staying away from?

This post is all my opinion, but I welcome debate on anything i have put, however, personal slander / name calling belongs in game
where of course you're welcome to call me names im often found lounging about in EvE online.

I've left a little bit of my soul behind in the game world in the form of mission trees. It feels a bit strange, in fact: some of them have been up there for long enough that I no longer think of them as mine. I wonder if my son will ever play them, and I wonder how I'll break the news to him that I had a hand in creating them.
Life seems to be about how one affects other people, or a big part of it anyway. Video games have the capacity to affect people, obviously, but it's such a strange medium. It's not like a book or piece of music.

As for one to recommend, has to be EVE, nothing quite like it out there.

Anyway, best all time has to be DAOC. While other MMORPGs were sucking the PvE teat to death DAOC create the best PvP/RvR experience ever created in the industry and still today.. after what 15+ years it is still by far, hands down the best PvP experience of any MMORPG.
No messy TOA, New Frontiers or other expansions to deal with.

However, for an MMO veteran, or someone not new to MMOs, I'd recommend FFXI. I've had a blast in that game recently. The final expansion has been out for a while now, so the story is complete. On the right server, the pop. is still healthy, and it is so robust. The world feels absolutely massive. Certainly provides many things I've missed from MMOs the last few years.
I'd recommend staying away from most Asian MMOs as a first MMO. Some of them can be fun, but I don't think they very well represent what I've come to expect from a quality MMO.

Don't worry you won't miss anything.
Don't bother with BDO it's very boring and pointless after a couple of days coz it lacks complete any challenge besides duels with other players.
Don't bother downloading Eso.. The combat in ESO is very dissapointing. The Pvp is out of whack and games like these with only 7 skills in totalt is no a mmorpg its it's a mmog. The graphics in ESO is not very good, in many places the world is bland, soundtrack boring. And no I don't work for an anti-mmorpg agenda..lol.
Guild wars 2 is very close to ESO in terms of gameplay but again the combat is the killer. Tho the game is more fun than any of the above, the steering of you character totally kills this game. Let me explain why. You crank up the turning of you character to highest setting but yet it takes ages to turrn around, you even have to stand still to turn fast. That means you have to hold down right mouse button all the time.. Certainly not any pleasant.
The other NC soft games, don't ever touch them they are riddle with hackers, bots, spammers and and PvP is a joke in those games these days.
The we have lotro and dungeons andd dragon online. Once great games now ruined by game changes and laggy servers.
EverQuest is somewhat the granfather of games that never end, 23 expansion 3 servers loaded up full with player and even 5 medium pop servers. Some players still prefer that old feeling where you adventured together, created guilds and made friends - hence the progression servers. Unfortunately the graphics are not really that pretty many would say.
DAOC still online but once Unchained goes live, someone at EA-Broadsword might pull the plug.
Finally WoW a game we all enjoyed once upon a time. They should fix the leveling, it's broke and too easy, pointless. Might as well just delete the world and make a waiting perron where you can wait in queue for battlegroubds, dungeons etc.
So read the title/question again , but you insist on approaching every thread this way .. Its really a bad look ....
Anyhow on Topic ..
UO , still to this day offers more in game activities and challenges than any other MMO
The one bad thing about the subscription model - people tend to tunnel in on whatever game they are subbed to at the time. It was nice when SoE allowed you to chat and have chat channels across EQ1 and EQ2. I wish there were more community=-building features that work across various games (apart from things like Discord and a few web-based communities).
There are a lot of MMOs out there that are very good, and good in different ways.
I really like chocolate ice cream, but if all I ate was chocolate ice cream I'd get sick of it after a while.
Personally I would say LOTRO. I am still amazed by the epic zone design for this game.
