I played EverQuest as a kid (when I was far to young to be playing MMOs) and it completely captured me, I have been trying to chase that itch for a long time, but modern MMOs just don't have the same feeling as they did back in the day. WildStar was the closest, and I loved WoW from vanilla->Wotlk, gave Rift a good run, but everything in like the last decade has just felt a bit different. I think because basically every game is an MMO these days, there is nothing special about MMORPGs. Plus the availability of the internet to give answers/information means that you have no reason to actually talk to other people in the world beyond socialization, rather than needing to interact to just get around.
