Your First MMO?

I think technically Kingdom of Loathing was my first MMO, if it can be classified as such. Then, I played Guild Wars for a few years, and had a lot of fun with that one. I played WoW for a few years after that, and enjoyed the experience until I hit endgame content.
I just don't think I'm properly wired for MMOs. I love them up until I hit endgame, but I just can't bring myself to grind dungeons or PvP. Once I run out of new content to explore, I'm done.

My introductio to MMOs was two weeks of Requiem: Bloodymare (now known as Requiem: Memento Mori), a good looking but grindtastic F2P WoW clone from Korea. It taught me everything I know about action bars and fetch quests, and I still go back to it when I'm feeling very nostalgic.
These days I play City of Heroes and Fallen Earth, and I drop back into WoW maybe twice a year for a few weeks. I'm very reluctant to try any other MMOs since I don't really have the time to commit to the ones I already play, let alone more.

I...I, uh, I've [small] never played one. [/small] *BLUSH*
They're just sooo time consuming. I don't want to get addicted. My brother's a full-on Wow junky.

silk road online, good fun game it was have fond memories of it trekking across the wilderness trading in distant lands taking down giant beasts.
even met one of my best friends on there.
Alas it is no longer playable due to inability to get in a server because of bot spamming.

Guild Wars, in it's really early stages. Basically when you'd reached level 20 and weren't that much into PvP you had nothing left to do in the game, so I quit. Tried WoW a bit, liked it, played that for 2,5 years, got bored among other things, and quit about 3 years ago. No more MMO's for me.
Runescape. It was okay, but the user base was generally pretty terrible (and probably still is). Since then, tried these:
Maple Story: Didn't like it. Thought the controls were awkward, and didn't really pursue it
World of Warcraft: Good. Still play it off and on once in a while, but I'm not very good at PvP. Raiding gets repetitive unless you play multiple classes.
City of Heroes/Villains: Okay, but only played the trial. Wasn't bad, but there wasn't much variety (only 5 classes, but lots of visual differences which I do like)
Champions Online: Good. Didn't reach end-game levels, but I did some leveling and group stuff and it was fun. Involved more player input than most MMOs.
Fallen Earth: Did the tutorial, didn't like it. Lagged horrendously, and didn't like the game mechanics. Might've improved since, but I wouldn't know.
Tabula Rasa: Tried a trial, didn't really get into it but it felt pretty solid.
Final Fantasy XI: Like the classes, but the game's too slow and the interface and controls are bad. Would love a version that cloned WoW.
Wanted to try out FFXIV, but I haven't heard anything good about it at all. And DC Universe online comes out in two days, so I want to try that as well

Runescape. For some reason every other MMO pales in comparison. Other MMO's are so linear compared to it. Havent played it in years though.
god, didnt anyone play neverwinter nights?

Uh, Dark Ages. An old game that had a class system that was very, very enjoyable looking backing. All of the weapons (including your fists) sounded like the cracking of a whip, though.
I remember playing the trial account, running around after someone brought me through monk school, punching the hell out of everything and grinding for level fifteen. When I finally hit my goal, which would of alloted me enough dexterity points to wear this robe my master had given me, the trial ended and required a subscription (I stopped playing).

Mine was Runescape, truly a good game, but I just played it so much that I killed it for myself.
Then Guild Wars, never really got into that. It was fun an' all, but there wasn't really enough story for me.
Then WoW. Loved it, still do, but A-levels prevent me from playing it. /baww
