Meridian Online, Sylvus?

Anyway, my vote is for EQ.

EQ (since this is/was an eq board, sort of a gimme poll)

Okay, I think that I will probably include EQ on the poll that I will create. If anyone would like to nominate any other MMOs, go for it.

Miir would like to nominate Vanguard.

EQ would be the only one I would vote for.
Only other one that comes close for me is Anarchy Online.

I'd nominate World of Warcraft. It's a solid nomination... as would be Ultima Online, but EQ should win this hands down.

EQ.

I probably enjoyed WoW more for a shorter period of time, but EQ kept me playing for several years.

Traveling from Qeynos to Freeport and beyond at level 10, before a anyone could group teleport was one of the few things in any MMO that actually felt like a real adventure.

EQ is what really started it for me and got me interested in MMO's in general.

Without EQ we wouldn't be here!

I don't see a game like PlanetSide or Dungeons n Dragons Online gathering so many people together like this on one forum.

EQ created one helluva Veeshan community!

It sure had something special back then and brought special people together!

Not sure if it would have happened if we all were as young as when EQ was released now and met in a game like WoW or EQ2.

There's just something special with corpse recoveries and steamrolling that promoted teamwork and of course interactivity among the peeps.

You HAD to work/deal with people from all over the world.

In today's games, you can do what you want without interacting at all, with instancing and whatnot.

Sojourn, aka Toril MUD. Nothing has come close to fear and precision of The Roots, or the fun of the Hive of the Manscorpions/Lost Library of the Seer Kings. Reptilian Rampager ftw!

Has to be EQ no other game has ever/will ever get me as hooked as I was on EQ.. When I look back on it today and see how much of my younger years I spent on that game it amazes me and makes me want to cry at the same time. The only reason I have no regrets about it is the network of people I met along the way and still talk to today.

EQ hands down.
