Mine was AION in its original form, partly because the cryengine made it look very pretty but also because the private servers were actually functional unlike the WoW private servers which were largely a mess at the time.

I hate to admit it, but I spent countless hours on WoW back in the day, I was quite dedicated from vanilla until Wrath, and then played on and off between Cataclysm and Legion. I'd say that made it my favorite MMO because of all the memories and people I met on there. It even got me laid at the time lmao. The game eventually stopped being as enjoyable though, with more and more RNG stuff and an increasingly elitist community
, so I quit. I also figured I could do more useful things with my time.
AION's PvP always seemed interesting to me, but I never played it. I've played many other MMOs, but none were able to grab me as much as WoW did back then.
Speaking of private servers, I remember running a Wrath private server on my computer that my brother and I would mess around with, and do things like spawn random bosses and shit.
It was very functional, but it wasn't the latest version of the game. If you wanted to set up a private server for the latest expansion, you'd have to deal with a buggy unstable mess.
I was very happy on a wotlk private server that was very stable and then they went and upgraded it to cata for some reason and it became unplayable
