General Discussion

I'm curious to see which game has the best community because it is quite frankly the most important aspect of a game for me personally. I could care less if a game is sandbox , theme park or level based , what really is important  to me is that there's a good population of mature , friendly , fun loving and social players. For me the game that had the best community out of all the mmorpgs I've played over the years is definitely Everquest , people loved to group and were quite mature , there was the occasional idiot but there was very few of them and the Trade chat etc was always filled with good conversations none of the garbage I've found when playing WoW.

Final Fantasy XI or Vanguard or LOTRO.

Either one will do.

I'd say EVE and Wizard101. EVE because it's more difficult than the common MMO and most immature people will quit within their first week. Wizard101 because of its extreme chat filter.

For me I would say Everquest2 and Atlantica. They had most friendly community especially when asking about something. Of course Atlantica is free to play so there is some idiots ingame but there is no such as monsters stealing or loot stealing so not much problems arise. In tournaments people was very friendly , it really doesnt matter you win or lose, they just congratulate, ask for advice....

But it really depends on luck in what people you will run into. Because I played WoW twice. One time I had no problem with children and idiots ( maybe they all was killed? :) )  and next time I tried i just had to ignore chat knowing that there is only idiotic talks....

 LOTRO, EQ2 have the best communities.  EVE is a good example of an as good as you can get with a PvP MMO community.

At the end of the day, the significant community is you and your guild, and in a PvP MMO like EVE or WAR, the quality of the same on the enemy side.

EVE in my opinion has the best community of course there are tards that come and go , but they come and dont stay long.. EVE Radio bring the community even closer with player run music lots of funny folks on there and some very nice women ... yes women :)

EQ ,Eve and Ryzom for me had the best comunity,most people were mature and really helpful compared to other games

LOTRO hands down. EVE and Ryzom are good too. Ryzom has dipped a bit because its free.

AC2 had a great community but its been over 4 years since i played it.  I think that game got shutdown...not sure though.

People say that EQ2 has a great community but, from my experience, they are exactly like WoW's which is a pretty mix bag of immature assholes, plain old assholes, and nice people.  Some servers are DEFINITELY better then others.

Warhammer's community is kind of meh, but I think its more due to the game just being released and it's poor social interface.

EQOA for ps2 had the best community for me, played eq2,lotr, pretty much all the big ones. very friendly people and whne i wnet back after i had quit and went back like 2 years later, when i went back and saw my server was pretty much dead so i made a new alt on castle lightwolf, got in a group fairly quikly (made an alchemist probably one of the most wanted classes to have in a group for sick damage) people chatted the whole time and after it they had all gave me money to get me started on the server.and i'm not a begger i would rather get my own stuff but some one offers out of kidness i would be hard pressed not to take it.

Vanguard would be second, got in a guild of strangers people would offer to run me through stuff all the time to help get geared up, crafted me items ect. chat on vent ask how everything was goin out me way stuff like that. again i never asked for anything many times i would log in and have mail from guildies.and i'm a guy not one of those internet attention whores you see in guild chat being overly flirtatious to complete strangers say anything for attention from anyone and everyone.

warhammer, idk people just never talked on there ...at all. very anti social even tho with pqs and being able to just join up with people there in a group without asking,wasn't much talking going on at all. hell i started wishing for a barens chuck norris chat just so i knew i wasn't the only person in the game.
