UO was the best online game for me. All others stand in its shadow. It was the most "free" in terms of what you could do and the appeal was the non-gamification.

I loved Everquest and World of Warcraft but those didn't feel "raw" enough for me.

The Realm is my dark horse submission for best MMO. (Yea, yea, yeah Meridian 59 and Underlight too)

Right!? Skill loss for dying while red ruined everything for me. Ganking and being ganked is what gave that adrenaline rush.
