There haven't been any really good MMO's since UO and Dark Age of Camelot

I also second the UO and DAOC comment. I still have both of my accounts for those games. Actually, one of them for DAOC is free for life so I log in every now and then to see whats happening. It seems that the frontiers are always busy, but the fact that it is all condensed into one server makes me sad. 8v8 is also limited now to 2 or 3 groups a night, and I always hated set up fights.

I really enjoyed WoW back in the early-early days. After playing DAoC for a good five years prior, I was ready for an upgrade of sorts. I really wasn't a fan of the BC expansion though (well, other than finally getting to play a shammy with my guild instead of against my guild).
My fondest MMO memories are still from my DAoC days though. It was such a great time back then. Shrouded Isles is still one of my all-time favourite expansions for any game, regardless of the genre. Unfortunately, Trials of Atlantis is my all-time least-favourite expansion for any game. It really moved DAoC out of the "socializing-while-adventuring" model and dropped it completely in the "capitalizing-while-achieving" model, almost overnight.
Mind you, I played (mostly) on Gaheris... I moved there the day it went live (with SI), but I played a wizard on Merlin for about a year prior to that.
I used to lead a weekly server-wide SI epic dungeon raid for a while there. Sidi, TG and Gala. I was the second raid leader on the server to successfully clear out all three dungeons (this was long before ToA launched)! #braggingrights
Mmmm... the good ol' days...
