I played WoW a bit after its initial release through the first couple xpacs. Getting the MMO itch again, but I know the WoW I grew up with doesn't really exist anymore, so now I'm pretty out of touch.

For those of you playing / recently played an MMO, which one? How's the community? How's the lore? Gameplay in pve/pvp/rvr?

HorizonXI. It's a classic Final Fantasy XI server.

I grew up playing XI and wanted to get back into it, but the retail server is a solo experience these days. Horizon has been incredible to relive my childhood on Horizon, and the community is amazing. It's certainly not for everyone but I'm so glad to have it in my life.

I was lucky in that the ffxi US beta was my first dive into an MMO. And I think it's one of the best games ever, but the harsh reality is that it's hard and tedious, especially for folks who only have experience with super hand holdy MMOs like they mostly are today. If you can get into it, it can be like crack, but I really feel like most people won't have the patience for it these days.

This isn't me saying don't try it. Try it for sure. Just be ready for a huge time sink. It doesn't help you at all.

I absolutely agree. XI is hard and a huge time sync. I don't think most gamers would enjoy it at all, and most of my enjoyment comes from nostalgia and the sense of community.
