Gamer Lemmings, I'm curious. What's your favorite MMORPG? (sh.itjust.works)

For me I'm currently torn between WoW and New World. WoW is my "comfort food" MMO having played off and on since 2004. New World's update has been stellar, and it offers a fun refreshing take on the genre.

When I was a kid, I played a lot of Runescape. I loved that the quests were all unique and had their own, sometimes genuinely well written and engaging stories, with point'n'click style puzzles, reminiscent of Sierra games. It was the most fun I've ever had in an mmo.

But my god is there a lot of repetitive grinding. I tried to get back into it a few years ago, but my patience for killing the same mob for 3 hours straight, or cutting and burning trees like a giant line of cocaine, simply isn't there anymore.

I wish I could play a version of it without the grind, and just the quests.
