Which MMOs did what best?

Gameplay: WoW. I love how the game plays and the content. Raids, M+, and occasionally PvP.

Crafting and Economy : Eve Online. Indexing ISK to IRL Dollars was genius. Closed system.

Story : FFXIV. The MSQ is basically a full on FF RPG. It’s great.

Class System: FFXIV again. Being able to focus on one character and still try out different classes is perfect. I can only hope WoW advances like that at some point.

Novelty: Aion. Aion would have been a real contender, I think, if not for the last minute decision to nerf XP and sell XP items in the cash shop. Being able to fly and having systems to support flying is still something I wish WoW would do.

Ultima online did/does it all the best. Just lacking in the graphics department considering its 25(?) Years old.
