Wow, that was completely worthless.
Good MMOs are:
World of Warcraft
Lord of the Rings Online
Guild Wars (no monthly fee)
Vanguard
Final Fantasy 11
Some more good ones coming like Warhammer Online and Age of Conan.

Had to chime in on this one ;)
WoW is not what I would consider a good MMO. Currently there are not any mmo's that I would consider good :P. Now, if you want to go by popularity I would say that WoW is at the top, but popularity does not make something good. I would say the closest thing to a good MMO that is out right now is Everquest 2, followed by World of Warcraft. Vanguard is dieing a slow horrible death, FFXI is ok if you can find a constant group, but good luck with that. Lord of the Rings is good if you are into lord of the Rings and like doing quests, and well Guild Wars is not an MMO (it is Diablo 2 style game where you can chat from your avatar).
Though I must say, you got 1 thing right :) Warhammer Online is the game to wait for, it is awesome (have a friend in beta and have watched him play).

To be fair, back in June when I posted that Vanguard was pretty new and they had, I think, 150,000 people playing. Not many compared to other games but enough to keep it going, not sure what they have now. Even though there is a lot of people that play WoW because it is the "in" thing to do, it still keeps 9 million paying monthly, so there has to be something good about it. Yes, Guild Wars is like Diablo 2 because there isn't a persistent world to meet others in, it is still a MMO. Yes it is hard to find people in FFXI, most are in high end areas and I don't know much about Lord of the Rings, just know that it is supposed to be good.

didnt notice it was posted in june, my bad... Though Vanguard recently merged down to 4 servers, so they are just trying to stay alive at this point, heh. But anyways, by saying Guildwars is an MMO is like saying D2, Hell Gate London, and every other similar game is an MMO... Even when the game came out NCSoft never called it an MMO... They refered to it is a Cooperative online game, people just miss took it for an mmo.

Those games can be played offline. Guild Wars can only be played online, so that qualifies as the online part. They have sold over four million copies of the game, so that is the massive part, and you can play with up to 23 other people, so definitely multiplayer....

I could argue with you all day about Guild Wars NOT being an MMO, but why not go straight to the source?
From the FAQ Quote:
What kind of game is Guild Wars?
Guild Wars is a global online roleplaying game. Players can engage in cooperative group combat, in single player adventures, or in large head-to-head guild battles. Guild Wars is a mission-based game set in a stunning 3D fantasy world that offers excellent support for guilds. Because the team that developed Guild Wars had experience creating successful online game series such as Warcraft, StarCraft and Diablo, the members used their familiarity with the complex issues surrounding online games to create a game that is both easy to learn and compelling to play long term, and yet does not require players to spend hundreds of hours slogging through the preparation just to get to the fun bits.
Is Guild Wars an MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game)?
Guild Wars has some similarities to existing MMORPGs, but it also has some key differences. Like existing MMOs, Guild Wars is played entirely online in a secure hosted environment. Thousands of players inhabit the same virtual world. Players can meet new friends in gathering places like towns and outposts where they form parties and go questing with them. Unlike many MMOs, when players form a party and embark upon a quest in Guild Wars, they get their own private copy of the area where the quest takes place. This design eliminates some of the frustrating gameplay elements commonly associated with MMOs, such as spawn camping, loot stealing, and standing in a queue in order to complete a quest.
Guild Wars takes place in a large virtual world made up of many different zones, and players can walk from one end of the world to the other. In Guild Wars much of the tedium of traveling through the world has been eliminated. Players can instantly return to any safe area (town or outpost) that they have previously visited just by clicking on it in the world overview map.
Rather than labeling Guild Wars an MMORPG, we prefer to call it a CORPG (Competitive Online Role-Playing Game). Guild Wars was designed from the ground up to create the best possible competitive role-playing experience. Success in Guild Wars is always the result of player skill, not time spent playing or the size of one's guild. As characters progress, they acquire a diverse set of skills and items, enabling them to use new strategies in combat. Players can do battle in open arenas or compete in guild-vs-guild warfare or the international tournament. Engaging in combat is always the player's choice, however; there is no player-killing in cooperative areas of the world.
Players in Guild Wars can play with or against players from around the world in the global tournaments and arenas. And while players are initially placed in a region based on their selected language (so that there is a greater likelihood that others will be speaking their language) they can join up in the always-available International District to form parties and to play with anyone from anywhere in the world.
So, as they say, it has some similarities, but it is not an mmo...

So to you, calling a game an MMO covers a very narrow spectrum of gaming. Where you run around by yourself doing quests, have slow battles with one or two enemies at a time. To me, calling a game a MMO covers a broader spectrum, and in Guild Wars, there is fast combat, forcing you to group with others because you will be fighting against ~10 enemies at a time, and is based around PvP instead of a bunch of quests. That is why, I believe, they called it a Competitive Online RPG because it doesn't follow in the same line as the tradition MMO.
