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 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.
