For me its:

  1. Ultima Online

  2. Final Fantasy XI

  3. Ragnarok Online

UO was a game I just recently discovered and it's fantastic, best sandbox experience I've ever had in a game.

FFXI was another recent discovery. It took the formula from Everquest and made it better. The game is even less grindy today with the QOL changes.

RO was a big part of my teenage years. I love the look of the game, it reminds me of Final Fantasy Tactics. It's a great casual game to just pop into and grind out some levels or explore.

Star Wars Galaxies (pre-CU/NGE)

I played on the Basalisk emulated server a couple years ago, classic SWG got me interested in Ultima Online since so much of it's inspiration was taken from that.

The EMU servers are great, I just don't have that kind of time to spend on games anymore.

In the OG, I played a Bounty Hunter / Carbineer / Ranger chasing down motherfuckers in the middle of nowhere and leading Krayt Dragon hunts. Back when hunting a jedi actually meant something because there was only like a dozen of them on any given server and they were all sweaty no-lifing weirdos.

I have yet to see any MMORPG with a more robust class or crafting system than OG galaxies.

I had a marksman too I think iirc, carbines or heavier blasters, I didn't make much progress at the time outside of just mucking around.

Now UO I have a house in. So my goal if I come back to SWG again is to get a house and fill it with stuff.
