Basically the thread title says it all, i'm interested to see what MMORPGs people love and still play to this day and what makes the game so appealing that they keep coming back. As another thread has suggested decent MMORPGs are hard to come by and are largely dominated by Korean companies which add a touch of Asian culture which doesn't appeal to everyone (the child screams during combat, the typical grind and Asian style cosmetics). Whenever a new MMORPG comes out it's hot for a few weeks then the novelty dies off (as with any game but seems more so with MMOs).
The first ever MMORPG I played was Last Chaos which I played for years it was a Korean game and probably had the biggest grind out of any other game I have played which is probably what got me hooked. I enjoy games that make you work for your level/gear. I hate questing and being sucked into quests which is why Last Chaos had my interest, questing was optional and not that beneficial. The game ended up being largely dominated by P2W with the cash shop essentially being the judge of who would make the level cap and one shot everyone. It's also the only game I know of where you had to SP farm, something you would do at level 15 lock your experience and farm monsters to gain as many skill points as you could as later on trying to get skill points was extremely difficult. Without SP farming you would be considered useless as you wouldn't have enough skill points to max out all your skills. This game was my first introduction to the world of MMORPGs and holds many memories for me which you could say is my favourite in terms of memories.

My ideal MMORPG is fantasy based, open world with decent graphics/effects and a range of classes/races such as Witch, Druid, Priest, Warlock, Sorcerer, Rogue etc . One where there is no 'proper' way to gain levels you could either quest (follow the story of the game) or grind mobs. Less restrictions so the option to fly later on in game or get flying mounts but these of course would be restricted when it comes to PvP. This list could go on but you get the idea, I like your typical WoW style MMO with just more restrictions on flight, a bigger focus on fantasy and a lot more challenging for players. Being able to buy level boosts is ridiculous and undermines the hard work other players have put into the game.
I'm interested to hear about other peoples favourite MMORPGs and the memories they have associated with that game (pictures and screenshots would be a huge bonus), why the game had/has their interest and what they are looking for in future MMOs.
