For me, EQ holds is still the best. I haven't played it in a couple of years, but as has been stated it has the best atmosphere of any MMORPG. Sure it had many issues (some fixed and some not and some made worse) and the grind was horrid. Some of the best times I had playing ranged from large raids all the way to solo exploration. A huge world to explore, the thrill of running across a unknown zone, some of the best times was exploring Luclin after it was released. I found myself spending way to much time playing so I quit after a 13 hour ToV raid on a worknight.
I played EQ2 and just couldn't get into it, it didn't have the same feel as EQ1, of course its a completely new game. In EQ1 I had numerous zones to level in no matter my level, it EQ2's current state there are far fewer. I played till level 31 and got tired of seeing the same packed zones everyday.
I like WoW, but it's less group friendly than EQ. The community is much more annoying and immature than any MMORPG I've played. Even worse than the Counter-Strike community. I enjoy being able to play for an hour and logging off.
City of Heroes was a blast and consumed much of my summer last year, the problem was it became very repetitive and there really wasn't anything else to do besides level.
Planetside was my drug for almost an entire year, even though its a MMOFPS, had a lot of fun playing PS.
