Please READ:
This is my top 20 out of 75 that I've played. If you have any other MMO that you recommend please share. This list is purely based on how much fun I had playing it.

***Runescape should have also been on this list, but I couldn't find any good images for it. Runescape was among one of the best MMORPG's I've experienced.
Note: The reason why WoW is not up there, it's because the private servers weren't that fun to me.
The nominees that did not make it to the list but are worth mentioning are Runescape, World of Warcraft, and Silkroad.
***UPDATE April 23, 2010***
Battle of Immortals (In Closed Beta) 6.4
+ Quests gives a lot of EXP
+ Weapons levels up and gains EXP.
+ Soul Gear is awesome!!!
+ Auto Trace
+ Auto Targeting Key
+ Mounts and Pets level as you kill monster
- Can't survive without cash item
- No Keyboard Customization
- Text can be hard to read(said to be changing)
- Too Linear (However may look confusing at first)

he says a lot about the game in just 11 minutes. Also, if you enjoy playing Torchlight, MU Online or Diablo 2 you will love this game. A lot of these things might change after closed beta.
These are the few MMORPG's that I'm looking forward to playing in the future:
Blade & Soul (In Development)
Final Fantasy XIV (In Development) for PS3.
Miracle MuX Legend (OMG!!! MU Online but in better graphics!)

@rdinhothenry i have the only thing that appealed to me were the graphics. if i remember correctly they were the first to release wings that can make you fly. but it was too slow for me, there were more reasons why it didn't make it to my top 20 list. thanks.
