Does EVE count?

EVE is awesome, forget the graphics which are a bit dull. The game itself is very very good. I played for about 2 years and ended up being recruited into a pirate corp. Was very very intense roaming around 0 security sectors looking for prey whilst not knowing if you yourself are being hunted to. The pvp aspect of the game is brutal. I used to set myself up in a "bait" ship which looked for all intense and purposes a mining vessel. However it was so heavily armed and shielded that when I was attacked I could just sit there, take the beating and then lock on my tractor beams on the aggressor. Then I would call in the cavalry and they would take care of the rest.

Star Wars Galaxies was also a very good indepth MMO before they messed with it and dumbed it down. One of the few MMO that if you didn't want to do combat you didn't have to. Be a doctor, tailor or entertainer and you could still earn loads of credits buffing others. Craft spaceship parts and sell on market. Hell you could even have your own "shops" dotted all over the galaxie with your droids running them for you. Build your own house and decorate it however you want. Guilds had whole villages which you could discover completely by accident. The Wookie clan I was in had its own village, town hall and shops.
You could literally spend hours just exploring either space in your starship or roam planets in your skimmer or jet bike.
Out of all the MMOs I have played it was easily the most varied and most likely the best.

If SWG was still available to play in its original form it would have Made my top 5. It kind of went tits up when WoW hit the scene.

That sounds really awesome.

Fallout 1, Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics are currently free on GOG.com just thought I'd let you know as fallout seems a popular series with you guys.
