there are really only 3 MMOs worth paying subscriptions to play,
WoW, WAR, and L2.
I prefer L2 by far. It has the best economic SYSTEM (the current economy has been destroyed by years of unchecked botting and gold selling,) it has the most unique and best stylized class system, and the best Open World pvp. The downside? Dieing servers, massive bot populations, end-game grind, horrible end-game PvE
WoW is clearly the most polished, and the one that has had the most man hours and dollars spent. With WotLK it will seriously rock. The environments are immersive, the raiding is amazing, the pvp system is well done, and the game over-all has a very finished feel to it. oh and 9/10 people you know play it! Downside? Every one of those 10 people is on a different server, and the graphics are a pile of poo
WAR is really just a wow, daoc hybrid, but done REALLY well. the most successful MMO launch i've ever participated in, the community and administration is amazing. They brought a lot to the modern MMO table, notably the well polished Tome of Knowledge, Public Quests, and advanced RvR system. The economy blows, and the classes need re-balanced, but hey, it's brand new.
honorable mention? Eve, mostly for its extreme learning curve and depth of features.
