For those of you who don't know, MMO stands for: Massively Multiplayer Online. If someone speaks of an MMO, its an online game that a very large number of people can play at once.

Some examples are-
Everquest
Guildwars
Planetside

The list gos on forever...
Whats your favorite? List them here, but try and give a reason why.

Example of this format-
Guildwars-No subscription fee
Planetside-Large scale futuristic combat


Go ahead and post here, we want to know your opinion!
If all gos well, the VE Today Gaming Reporters can do a report on upcoming MMO's, or review past ones we will never forget...

GuildWars - No monthly fees/amazing graphics and game system.

Neverwinter Nights (Including both expansions - Shadows of Undrentide/Hordes of Darkness) - Fun game, awesome single player campaigns.

Note: GuildWars doesn't fufill some definitions of an MMO, it does meet some others. Its a bit hazy. Diablo 2 is NOT an MMO and neither is NWN, sorry. They lack any form of global persistant world.

Galaxies until 1 year after launch: It was a fun game until a year after launch when everyone and their dog became a Jedi, after that: screw it.

City of Heroes: I'm -STILL- having fun playing City of Heroes. You get super powers OUT OF THE BOX and they only get BETTER. Instant gratification on the ass-kicking factor. I think I'm the only VEer that plays though. :P

City of Heroes-Whats better than kicking ass in tights?

Guild Wars-Free online play, so much potential
(^^It IS an MMO, its Massive, its Multiplayer, and its Online)

World of Warcraft- Insane amount of fun. Granted, you have to pay, and there are more than enough servers that are plagued by absolute tools. But raiding the horde lands and smashing orc skulls more than makes up for it

Well, NWN is a awsome game, but technically, its not a mmo. Its just a RPG thats capable of having multiplayer games with large numbers of participants.

Considering if I can get the money together for it I'd play WoW over Guild Wars I'd have to say WoW is my preffered MMO.

Guild Wars I like the way they do the actual adventuring part.  In SWG or even at times in WoW I would wind up with a lot of my kills getting 'stolen' by some yahoo who just blunders by and kills.  Sure they set it up so I'd still get most of the XP but I would have preffered all of it.

Over all until I get my paycheck, a new muffler on my car, and a new matress and see what's left I'll have to satisfy myself on GuildWars.
