General Discussion

While we are on the top 5 kick, how about top 5 MMORPG Moments.  Those times or events that just stick in your head and keep you coming back and buying every MMO to hit the shelf.

1.  SWG - Pretty much the whole first couple months of the game.  But the moment that sticks out the most was opening up my weapon shop south of Coronet, undercutting the Master Weaponsmith market, and having people camp out at my store waiting for me to fill up my vendor with different guns.  The whole economy and crafting was awesome.  (Also fun was placing mines in front of my store and blowing up Imperials that would come strolling by to my store.)

2. Multi-Galaxy Drop - Planetside - What an awesome game in the first few months after release.  I remember my first week, not really sure what to do, joined an outfit and we organized a multiple gal drop on a contested base, jumping out of that ship with 30 other players and taking a base was simply awesome and something I won't forget. 

3.  Exploring Middle Earth - LOTRO - Playing this game, with the atmosphere, music, visuals, really puts you in the world of Tolkien, and as a huge LOTR fan it was amazing to see all of these areas come to life in a fun story-based game. 

4. First Molten Core Raid - WoW - lot of wiping, lot of arguing, lot of working together, but taking down a boss with 39 other guildies was pretty fun.

5. First Beheading - AoC - ya ya, everyone is on the AoC hate train at the moment but taking out my sword and taking someone's head off with those graphics, something I had no idea was in the game, was awesome.  I remember dropping my jaw and saying "Holy Shit."

I never played EQ, UO, DAOC - so I'm guessing some of you will have moments from those games in your list. 

One of mine would be when i was doing deser treasue in runescape, all my freinds told me it was hard and stuff...so i was a little scared.It was really fun killing all the bosses and stuff and then dieng 2 minutes after because of the wolfs or poison...Good times

Fun topic!

1. Filling up my backpack with so much ore in Ultima Online that I couldn't walk.

2. Selling jade bracelets in Everquest's Greater Feydark with the line 'How many times would you have lived if you had 10 more mana?  Electrum Jade Bracelets 2 plats.'

3. Trading a Green Jade Broadsword for a FBSS to give to my friend, Riak the Dwarven paladin.

4. Soloing Uldaman in WoW to find out that I couldn't finish the dungeon without two more players.

5. Making a dragon in Horizons.

Lol @ #1. 

I remember building a house, next to the mountains and I could mine ore while in the protection of my house then smelt it.  (The bugs you could exploit)  Lol

Top 5?

1. Getting accepted for the ALPHA test for Ultima Online... (We're going WAYYY back!)

2. Playing Utima Online for 5 years, meeting Lord British... (That's up there with #1)

3. Remembering when you had to pay for Shadowbane... when it was first out, watching a group of people go at each other, killing one another... then when they were done, I ran up and killed every single one resting...  That was so mean. :)

4. Running for hours while having griefers (The ones I killed above) chase me all over... that was fun!

5. Getting EQ2 to finally run on ultra high detail with 90fps. :)

1. SWG - Pressing the jump key at some random moment going over a hill, my char got stuck in a tree. For 15 mins entire party cracks up laughing at some of the worst tree puns in history, eg guess I'll log, no don't leaf, haven't you twigged, I'm rooted to the spot etc etc.

2. World of Warcraft - My first character hit level 70 whilst leading a cow as part of a quest. 70 levels of struggling grind to end up with a bovine. Hardly the most exciting boast of the game but we didn't half laugh. Friends still remind me of it even now, no matter what the MMORPG I'm in.

3. Pirates of the Burning Sea - Red Tide quest - I didn't know at the time it should be done as a group, near wet my pants when I saw the number of ships heading towards me.

4. Eve Online - The first day I had enough skill points to pilot and enough money to buy a Battleship. Awesome moment.

5. City of Heroes - Gaining the flight power for the first time. Wheeeeeeeee

Ultimately, though, it's a strong community that keeps me coming back for more 

AC, put tons of points on an alt char on Darktide in Run and Jump and Sword with some life magic thrown in...ran super fast killing people and they couldn't get me...they would cast a spell I would doge (none of that lame autoseek guided missiles) or jump right over the spell and start attacking them...it was. If they had melee weapons, since I was fast i would keep running behind them and attacking them.

I killed many :) Tons of fun

1, Ultima online - when i first brought regs

2, Ultima Online - my first ever duel back in the day

3, Ultima Online - my house near brit gate fel

4, Ultima Online - bucs den running riot

5, Ultima Online - when factions began

ive played alot of mmo's almost all of them and the only game thats really sat in my memory is ultima online, i talk about it with a friend most days i just wish a game could pull me in like this game once did untill it died along time ago, im afraid i dont think anything will come close to this game in general in the forseeable future.

Here's one I just remembered...  God there's so many good times in Ultima
