Sometimes MMOs feel like glorified chat services- you just don't get sucked into them, or the real world keeps kicking you in the fanny, or you don't have a sense of identity compared with everyone else at your level in your class wearing your armour.

So what are some games that create that engrossing feeling that's kind of like our own world- not just in the respect of geography and lore, but also the way in which you interact with players, and the way in which you can differentiate yourself from other people?

I can only think of WoW in that sense, the RP servers. I think any games thats highly party based will suck you in like that. Since its mostly like, "heals over here" and "fack this boss is kicking my ***"

Dont get me wrong, I dont really like WoW, but in the sense of creating a world, IMO WoW is the best by far. Simple things like NPC's walking and running around, wolf riders taking their wolf to drink while you're running around the city creates a true fantasy atmosphere, rather than just placing your character in a random world to go kill monsters in.

REAL rp or just RPers sprinkled here and there.

And for me, everquest 2 has got to be the most realistic world I have ever seen..Everything in the game is based on realism (besides there being magic :P)

The servers dedicated to RP, every other server is just like every other community.

Gdit, I wish there was some way to take WoW and change it into a modern game sometimes..*sigh*...

Well NwN RP servers are really fun, theres a zombie server thats really fun cuz everyones arguing about hating each other and such and during battles sometimes they'll have a life changing decision to save them or to just leave them to die..well you get the point :P its really cool to experience it.

Also I like getting a really small skinny guy and running around acting like I'm psychotic xD

"OH MY GOODNESS I LOST IT!"

"lost what"

"I CANT BELIEVE ITS GONE WHERED IT G-..hmm..wait...where am I.."

Age of Conan.

The entire conan universe is really put into the game. There are dedicated RP server, lots of lore, and the game sticks true to the books.

Mabinogi and Tibia fit the description, everyone feels a part of the game, and everyone is remembered
