I was hooked on Ragnarok Online 1 after I got bored with Diablo 2 (although i'm crying for a remake that remains true to D2's roots).

Deep itemization through card system, tons of classes, tons of GOOD content, and GODLY items possible from Boss monsters and quests.

PVP content was exceptional also, which helped.

RO2 sucks.

Spiritual sequel is in development though, and it looks badass. Forget its name.

^. Nuff said

RO1 was the most gruesome grind I have ever seen and the card system and overall itemization was pitifully shallow compared to even oldschool dnd games a decade prior. Equipment had nothing but a physical defensive stat, a hole to shove a card into and on rare occasion an implicit mod like +1 attribute.

BEST
ARPG = POE
RGP = Baldurs gate 2
FPS = Half life 1
Board game = Carcassonne without additional shit
MMORPG = Ultima Online
MUD = Icesus

Thats all the games i really play atm and ever :D

I agree with all except the MUD, best one I've ever played is Medievia.

KOTOR

Settlers back on Amiga and Settlers 2 on PC back in '90s.
And Starcraft Broodwar which turned me into a robot.

Since settlers series is dead (settlers 3+ is not settlers), and bw got killed by sc2 which is not even half as entertaining as bw, I had to find a replacement. And I did. Altho it's not my favourte genre but god I enjoy mindless grinding and groundbreaking theorycrafting.

Best game I've ever played... hmm

# Counterstrike
# WoW (The Burning Crusade days)
# Dr Drago's Madcap Chase (ohhhhhhhh yeaaaaaaaaaaaaa)
# FFVII + Goldeneye has to get a mention

Maybe only Magic the Gathering is better when it comes to complexity and fun and collecting and tinkering.

The only other better game would be one I would make ;P

Yeah, just like PoE itemization system, which has no depth. I'll go ahead and say that you haven't played RO1. Ever.

Also, RO1 wasn't all that much about items - WoE and PvP, lvling (grinding) up with friends. Have you ever done Bio Lab 3?
Strong part of that game was the one of the words in MMO. MULTIPLAYER that is. Solo players (unless inhuman grind) had bad time progressing. and overall game was made around the idea of team-play. You couldn't do master DPS with priest, and couldn't sustain yourself with an assassin, or tank with any of those. Not to mention Professor-Champion-Priest combinations. ;-) Game had its depth - you just missed it. Just like many people are missing depth in PoE. (and imho, to date RO1 had some more depth than PoE).
