I was the leader of Gen at one point. 2k+ members.

I don't think Asheron's Call deserves any goat status. the PvP combat was incredible, but I think it was mostly an accident how good it was

there were some bugs that came to be thought of as features, that allowed players to move and spellcast and dodge projectiles in ways that were almost definitely not intended by Turbine, and that's what made it such an intense skill game

Asheron's Call and Starcraft are the only 2 games I can recall that benefited enormously from accidental game mechanics that the developers didn't even realize were in there

Starcraft's fire-while-moving trick for vultures and probes and most air units, muta and wraith stacking, psi storm spacing, using splash damage on your own units to kill undetected units, and a million things you can do with dropships

actually I forgot about the biggest one, strafe-jumping in Quake, so 3 games

I was Wilc. I was also the original "The Dagashi". Founding member of Gen, along with Blattos, Naudica, Al Kreiger, Venger, and the rest of the French.

Most fun I've ever had in any game, ever.

Wow I remember pretty much all of those names. Venger especially would own me on a regular basis. I was never in a big allegiance but would raid Kara several times a week with some friends after you all took it following the AB fiasco.

Starcraft: Brood War has to be up there. The competitive scene for it was amazing for over 10 years straight and people still follow it to this day. Amazing game and IMPOSSIBLE to master. One of the most skillful and mechanically demanding games out there.

Also, to a lesser extent, Starcraft 2. At least this one has broken out into the mainstream for competitive gaming. Starcraft:BW was mostly competitive in South Korea only, Starcraft 2 has been having some incredible players from Europe (though the US players are still pretty far behind). For instance, one of them just won an international tourney taking down $30k for first place.
