Your First MMO?

[Ironic Pirate]

Runescape.

Fucking hated it. Text based games have had better combat.

That one game has turned me away from MMOs for life. I hated everything about it, from the extremely unsatisfying combat to the horrible movement system to the terrible graphics. I've only played one games in my entire life in which moving my character brings tears to my eyes, and that was Runescape.

Only other MMO I've played is WoW, at a friend's house. I thought the same thing about the combat, but the rest of it was nice. I

World of Warcraft. Played it in the hospital after some major surgery. I could probably say that I didn't like it because I was too high on morphine to actually know what I was doing.

 

[Akihiko]

Probably Runescape, didn't really like it much though. Finally gave the genre another try with Guild Wars when that first came out due to the fact you didn't have to pay per month. After a couple of months I got bored and jumped to WoW following some recommendations. Played WoW all the way up to TBCs release where I quit for ages, went back for a few months later in the year but then quit for good. I did try TLK for about a week, but quite frankly I found it incredibly boring. Since WoW I have tried other mmorpgs, but never played them for more than a few weeks. They all follow the same grindy formula, a lot of which blatently copy WoW, which if you've played WoW to death, then you get sick of.

Runescape

I knew about it for months before I joined. I wasn't going to bother with it. Then some friends said give it a go. I did it, was okay. I didn't play it unless my friends were and when we did we mostly sat in the bar talking. After about a month my friends lost interest and I had no reason to get playing.

I have tried other MMO's like WoW and Guild Wars. I feel the lack of an end draw me away from them. I fine story & gameplay to be the best seller when it's comes to video games. MMO's lack of an endingscrew over the story of the world. With gameplay mosts RPG's these days can do better.

 

[Kolosus]

Runescape. And it was awesome!

BOY i used A LOT of time playing Runescape. I'm pretty sure i would still be able to mine endless amounts of coal if i ever go into a coma... I'm glad i found something better to use my time on.
That, and it turned out that my friend would pay rather well for a lvl'ed up miner

Now i have just started playing EVE ONLINE, which is, so far, most likely the best MMO i have ever played (And that includes World of Warcraft, Guild Wars, Mythos (Beta), FF XI, FLYFF and Maple Story (My nr. 2, anytime!, i tend to play for a week or two every 3 months or so)

 

[katsumoto03]

Guild Wars, man. Also one of my favourites.

Currently the only one I play right now is Vindictus.

 

[GamemasterAnthony]

The Realm. I played it because I had acquired a free trial period so I figured what the heck.

Nowadays, I mostly play Maple Story and just recently leveled my PermaBeginner to Lv70.

 

[Ossian]

Runescape: the game that taught me how to make a complete sentence.

 

[LightningBanks]

Mine was maplestory, ands its been the only one Ive actually played to a reasonable level

(3 lvl 40's and 1 lvl 50, compared to 2nd place flyff with 1 lvl 20)

 

[The Boy in the Hat]

Ahhh, good old Adventurequest. I still have my account. I still log on every six months or so when I get bored.

 

[nondescript]

I avoided MMO's for the most part, but I was an old fan of Warcraft back in its real-time days, so after a few years resisting I got an account for WoW.

 

[Zer_]

Ultima Online. To me it's still one of the most feature rich MMORPGs in existence. And it came out in 1997.

 

[Terminate421]

Runescape

 

[newfoundsky]

Gildwerz.

As my guild spelled it.

 

[GBlair88]

First one was EVE which is grindtastic but I still dip back into it when CCP give me free game time. Had a go at Star Trek Online which has more interesting ship to ship combat and the away team missions are pretty decent but gave up in the end. Started on LOTRO when it went F2P and still enjoying it. Tried a few other games but nothing else stuck.

 

[RobCoxxy]

WoW because my flatmates dragged me in. good fun at first but then turned into GRIIIIIIIIIIIND.

Then EVE Online. Racked up 65 hours in about two weeks. Arrrgrh. Just stopped playing because of the Chrimbo Steam Sale. I might get a subscription later this month....

Looking forward to DCUO, however.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

Mine was Runescape... three years ago? Time flies.

Never played another MMO since.

 

[D Moness]

first one flyff. I quit that game after V9 was released.
