My opinion, WoW is a decent game. There's no shame in saying you play(ed) it.

I'm afraid WoW was my first, so to most people, I have no say in the MMO world.

1z to c4reb34rz f0r 4ll you l33t dud35 and dud37735...

Yep...sorry, but it's true.
 

Guild Wars was my first, and I didn't really like it. I played DAOC next, and that is my favorite MMO, followed by EQ2 and Shadowbane.

I played WOW very late, and I didn't like it.

Well, I liked one after WOW. I play Ryzom pretty religiously now. It is the right fit for me. I am glad I don't have to search for the right one any more.

None. The first was the best becaue nobody knew where Everquest (or the intire game industry for that mater) was headed. When EQ1 started there was no notion of raids perse and the feild or possibiities still seemed very wide open. EQ changed all this and defined the character growth path of all future MMORPG's.

Since WoW I played such roaring good games as WAR and Aion...

Yeah...they sucked. Dabbled in some EQ1 way before then, but I count WoW as m first because it was the first I played extensively, and no I'm not gonna feel ashamed for that because that's just retarded. To be honest anyway who says that you should feel ashamed, well, there are more important things to worry about than whether some random stranger on the internet once played WoW.

My first MMO was SWG.  I loved it.

Played EVE for awhile.  It was good and I spent a lot of time there.

Played CoH for awhile.  I'm still there.

I liked all three of those MMOs for different reasons.

First was UO, which was fun, but like a lot of people, I think my favorite of all was Anarchy Online, I played it not too long after launch, stuck with it until around the time Shadowlands came out, then left because I just didn't have time to play anymore.  I've been back a couple of times since then but they're really not doing anything great with the game right now IMO.  The system has massive problems and always has, but it's been fun in spite of the problems, which I think is the mark of a good game.

I don't plan on going back until they get the new graphics system in place and perfected and honestly, they've been talking about it for so long and promising it for so long, I don't really trust FunCom to ever come through with it.  Maybe next time they have one of their "free month" offers for old players, I'll go back and take a look, maybe not.

i got EQ1 in late 2002 early 2003. Couldn't really get into it as the only time i could really play was late at night becaus my step brother would talk on the phone for hours at a time and we only had dial-up. didn't play pass the free month.

Then when we got DSL SWG just came out but couldn't play at first because i didn't know the new computer i just got for my birthday didn't have a graphics card.(would think one would come of with at lest a low spec one since the computer cost 1,500). I got screwed out of my free month because of this. at Christmas i got me a graphics card and started playing. played all the way up to the NGE. Most fun i ever had in a mmo.

WoW : After the NGE i went to WoW. Which was fun for me as i never played that type of MMO Before

Now waiting for the next MMO that is fun for me

 Asheron's Call was my first, and I've tried EVERY MMO out there and I still think it's the best... and while I REALLY disliked EQ the time I had in Vanguard was fantastic - Unfortunately I couldn't keep playing this heavily group oriented MMO without a decent sized population not to mention without a decent sized Dev team

Asheron's Call was my first and nothing has even come close to matching what it used to be in it's prime.  I've liked various games for varying reasons, but none have been able to captivate me to the point that old classic had.  The freedom in every aspect with a real non-instanced world that recieved a moderate to major content patch every month was what kept me entertained.

Planetside and Dark Age of Camelot would get honorable mentions for the open world PvP.

My first game was Lineage 2 and I've enjoyed every single MMORPG more than that one.

Your first mmo is like losing your virginity.

The magic feeling only happens once.

UO was my first mmo.  I have enjoyed every mmo I have played since to an extent some more so then others, but none as much as I enjoyed UO. 

UO offered so much variety in non combat features.  MMO need to be more the multi-player rpgs.

My first MMO was Maple Story, and it almost scared me off of the genre entirely.

My second was City of Heroes and I loved it, so I suppose I'd treat that as my first.  Since then, only my recent tryst with Champions Online has been able to match it in terms of overall enjoyment.  That said, I do have a soft spot for superhero stories in general, so in my mind these games had a natural leg-up on the WoWs and LotROs and AoCs of the world.

My first MMO was City of Heroes.

I can honestly say I haven't enjoyed any MMO as much since. WoW and LotRO both came close, but CoH has a special place in my heart. I still renew several times per year just to see what's changed.

The game had two things that I really enjoyed. First, it was a break away from the fantasy genre, which I was a bit tired of at that point. The second being, that unlike most MMOs, which use dangling carrots and a sense of achievement to create the fun in the game (and to a lesser extent, story), simply wandering around playing in the world was fun. I haven't had as much fun with a combat system in a game ever since.

Through in an interesting, original universe, a unique gear approach, a character creation system that is second to none, and great power effects, the game offered (offers, actually) a really fantastic experience that I haven't yet been able to recreate.

Many more so than my first.  My first was EQ, and I absolutely hated it, and the type of people that played it.  Couldn't stand it.

My First MMO was EQ1 and loved it my 2nd one was DAOC and love it almost the same just a little less.

The first generation of MMO's didn't appeal to me at all(though to be fair I never got to try AC); EQ and UO felt so grindy and pointless that I could almost hear the devs laughing at me for being stupid enough to waste my time on the trial.  I skipped them and stuck to MUD's until SWG.  The only game I've enjoyed more than pre-cu SWG is LotRO.
