DAoC = Dark Age of Camelot - Easily the best and most complete MMO. Best mix of good PvP, good themepark and class variety. Nothing comes close to it circa 2000-2003.

EQ = Everquest - Simply for scope and longevity. It doesn't have the best systems and early EQ was a laborious drag sometimes. Camping Griffons in West Karanas for 6 hours a day just to level? Good times.

How does this game compare to GW2 and WoW? Since those are the only MMO's i've really played.

You are 100% correct. Back then very few people cared about DPS, CH Rotations or end game. The game was about having fun with your guildmates and friends.

Most MMOs these dayss are solo EXP quest races to max lvl. Any new MMO gives 95% exp from quest and not hanging out in zones getting exp by killing mobs.

I blame EQ as much as any other MMO for this. Once they put the focus on end game and loot the game ended for me.

EQ before it was dumbed down to make it accessible to the masses was something to behold.

It wasn't for nothing it was called EverCrack.

But now? Probably Eve IMO, even though it's not everyone's cup of tea.
