I kept returning to World of Warcraft, but now I am a bit outplayed with World of Warcraft(played it for 7 years). I think the best games are the ones that you keep returning to. What is the game you keep returning to?

You dont mention if you want an mmo title or not... but one game that is ALWAYS on my hard drive is Civ 2. Allthough, I admit, I have updated to Civ 5 haha. But yea, like I said, when I need a mmo "cleanse" a week or so of online Civ will shake the webs loose and make you crave killing 10 rats. Again. "GW2 is the Methadone to WoWs Heroin." |

DAoC was the one I kept coming back too; however, since SWTOR came out, I haven't gone back since, which is the longest any game has kept me away. At this point though, I doubt I would return due to my change in preference for futuristic MMO's verse Ye Olde Timey MMO's.

lotro, that game just feels like a old antiquated painting from a bygone era (not in a bad sense but that it feels timeless). This is probably by virtue of being set in middle-earth. I always love that the fantasy there is so restricted, must be why it attracts a more mature community.

Despite its flaws, after every disappointing new MMO I've played over the past 3 years, I've continually gone back to Darkfall. It's a combination of the rush I get when fighting other players and the camaraderie I feel with those in my clan/alliance. Had a lot of good times and made a lot of good friends in Darkfall.

Besides WoW the other MMO i kept going back to was LOTRO. I've gone back recently with RoR, levelling up a new character on Brandywine. I am quite shocked I've gone back and enjoyed it actually, considering I bought GW2 the other day I just haven't been able to get into it yet.

EVE keeps drawing me back....and still remains fun after quite a run.

WoW, EQ2, UO. EQ1 and Vanguard once in a blue moon.

Originally posted by Kyleran Had I started a few years ago, I believe I'd have the same sentiment. I tried the extended trial, and thought it was a pretty freakin' awesome game. Every time I logged in, though, I had this little feeling that I'm just a noob in a huge world filled with vets, and it'll take forever to become a viable entity. Love the concept, gameplay, and most of the rest of it though. |

The first EverQuest (or at least some version of the original ;) still sucks me back in time after time. I've played many games and MMOs between quitting live back in 04 to now but I keep going back. Nothing yet sucks me in like EQ* does still... Was trying Vanguard and desperately hoped it would, but the lag the server was experiencing when it went F2P made it unplayable to me at the time. Maybe I'll give it another go along with EQ2, but probably will still go back to EQ*.

Yeah.. for me its Civilization. I have played it now over 20 years. And i guess this love story will go on. I also have enjoyed the Anno Games since a decade. MMOs? Not any more. I returned to UO a few time, but not nowadays. |

WoW, but I never really left. I keep playing Skyrim, before that was Oblivion for when I have that open world rpg kick. I used to go back to Asheron's Call, but just can't anymore. Minecraft is something I play from time to time, the idea behind it is great, but the overall pointlessness to any type of adventuring makes the game stale for me. I play GW1 for a few hours per month. I have a feeling GW2 will be something I play for spurts for years to come. I have a feeling that the new SimCity and Phantasy Star Online will be games I play off an on for years. |

Rift and LOTRO. But...in my quest to find a Wizardry-like game, I discovered The Legend of Grimrock and that's all I've been playing lately. The map editor is awesome! |

Definitely LotRO for me. Used to return to WoW as well, but it finally lost the magic when the last of my RL friends stopped playing. LotRO, on the other hand, never seems to lose that magic. I always manage to return at the tail end of an expansion. Luckily this time I got in at the beginning. I agree with a previous poster though. It just feels so . . . refined? It's mostly text based quests with little VO, but I just lose myself in it. Enough sandbox to keep me busy, and enough PvE to placate me. Usually lasts about 6 months and I move on, but I love rediscovering it on the return trip.

Mmorpg wise: FF11, I keep going back to this off and on, also City of Heroes.. makes me sad they are closing it down. Though last time I went back to ff11 might be my last, I didn't like how they made it easy mode with abyysea's release, they even changed the non-abbysea area's now. If you scratch those 2 off my list there most likely is no mmorpg i'd go back to, hasn't been a good mmorpg released in like 4-5 years, and most of the ones I would go back to have either shut down, or been made easy mode to cater to bitchy whiney casuals. Ragnarok Online though I guess I could put that as a mmo i'd go back to, have been playing it off and on since the 1st english closed beta, way back when all they had were the 1st jobs. Single player game wise: Fallout 3, Fallout new vegas, oblivion, skyrim, and these sorts of games that you can mod the hell out of them. Mods can give you a totally diffrent experence everytime if you just switch which your using. Being a pessimist is a win-win pattern of thinking. If you're a pessimist (I'll admit that I am!) you're either: A. Proven right (if something bad happens) or B. Pleasantly surprised (if something good happens) Either way, you can't lose! Try it out sometime! |

WoW, Rift, and Lotro for me. It seems that I am constantly switching within the three of them.

City of Heroes was the one I kept going back to. Pretty much all of my fun in MMOs comes from alting (I'm not a fan of raiding or pvp), and City of Heroes just had so much variety in terms of character appearance, achetypes and builds within those archetypes that it was always a different experience. I've played more than 20 CoH/CoV characters over the years, and each felt radically different from the others in every conceivable way.
