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.

    Phantasy Star Online. I really wanna' try FF11 some day since I seem to like that era of MMORPG more than what's happened since. Would also like to try the SMT Imagine MMO someday if the private servers ever come back.

      Now's a good time to try! There's private servers that replicate all different eras of the game from classic to modern retail. Or you could give retail a spin as there's a 2 week free trial. I used to play PSO too but only offline.
