Hi, I'd like to clarify that by "social" I'm not only referring to games such as second life or habbo hotel. I'm meaning games where it is meant to be played with other people while actively talking with one another.

I know it seems very odd, but I've noticed a trend of mmos becoming much less social friendly. Like in DCUO, there's no chat bubbles, so you have to stare at the chat box to tell what is going on, and 95% of the game's content can be soloed (before endgame), and when doing alerts you don't need to speak a word to your teammates. It's like your playing with AI henchmen.

So I'd like to know if there are any more mmo's alive with a decent community where it's fun and encouraged to play together? Games that come to mind for me is: Anarchy Online, Pre-WoTLK World of Warcraft, and Ragnarok Online. There's more I think, but I can't recall them all.
