Well it all depends on who you talk to, really.
Some may argue that the Epic Forums are among the best, or that the Battle.net is the best.
Personally? I think it was Bungie that started the trend of really connecting with your fanbase, with the Myth series. Talking directly to the customers through mailing lists and genuinely being interested in their feedback. It's a trend that they set early on with the internet and kept it going very strongly. It's inspiring, and it's evidently successful. Bungie.net is the prime example of a company that lives and breathes on its fans, and it's something that should never be forgotten; especially when ignorant and upset gamers claim that Bungie never listens (always a forum-favourite).
Bungie.net, whether or not you think it still is good now, did it first, but more importantly, they did it right first.
I get the feeling that the people who work at Bungie are doing what they love and doing so as a team. I don't get that feeling from many other game devs.
Of all the communities I've been a part of, Bungie.net is the one that I keep coming back to.
