No, it was a odd game called Meridian 59 a long time ago. It actually invented a lot of things that we see in games like Wow today but it was too early since most people still had dial up modems.

I took a break after that, then I started Lineage (betatested it actually). Then I took a few years off again before I started Guildwars.

A few years ago I tried EQ2 and liked it (just after EoF). Then I started AoC at launch but got back to EQ2 a month ago, this time bringing soem old friends that are tired of Wow.

So, no. I never played Wow (I was looking forward to it while Jeff Strain was the boss of it but when he jumped of I lost interest). And I played MMOs for more than 10 years with some shorter and longer stops. I also tried ot a lot of other games but not for long.

No my first was EQ around the time of Luclin I believe it was...maybe a little after. My other major first MMO (I didn't stay with EQ that long) was DAOC when it first came out and I played the game forever.

FFXI was my first, then RFO, then EVE, then WoW, then back to eve and FFXI.

Since then i've been a bit of a vagrant and tried AoC, LoTRO, Tabula Rasa, Lineage, CoX, Requiem, Runes of Magic, Ether Saga etc...

Too many, i think i'm burning out lol

Well, EQ was kinda my 1st... but I only played it for 6 days.
FFXI was the 2nd, played that 3 months.
WoW was the 3rd. Played for most of the game's retail life.
Currently my account is inactive, has been for a few months.
I did this before back when CoD4 was released... taking break to play something else never hurts.
Tho I 'm not sure If I'm ever going back... Probably will but not anytime soon.

No, SWG was my first MMO.

I have a feeling a lot of the people on this site won't have WoW as a first MMO, simply because this site tends to attract the more hardcore MMOers, simply by design.

Tried: LotR, CoH, AoC, WAR, Jumpgate Classic
Played: SWG, Guild Wars, WoW
Playing: Eve Online, Counter-strike
Loved: Star Wars Galaxies
Waiting for: Earthrise, Guild Wars 2, anything sandbox.

I played Runescape for a while before I found WoW.

I wager for most WoW was their first MMO. many may hate WoW, but WoW did the industry a favor by bringing in a huge number of new players off the Xbox and back onto the PC

Nope WoW wasn't my first.  Lineage 1 was where it all began for me.

This is almost mathematically a certainty.  The total paid sub base before WoW would be a million or less, consider that none of the big games back then maintains 1 million sub.  Now WoW has 12million.  So mathematically, 11million subs comes to surface with WoW.

Good thing you didn't wager because right now only 8 percent say this was their first MMO.(not that I would ever claim this site as being a true representative of the MMORPG community)

SWG in 2004 was my first MMO. I actually didn't start playing World of Warcraft until recently.

If you don't want to play the game, don't bore everyone by stating as much. Just don't play and move on because nobody cares to hear a soapbox.
