Dont run... you will just die tired!

29, No, uh... first graphical game I played alot of was Legends of Kesmai but I played pretty much all the major ones up to EQ/UO/AC... m59, nwn (aol), lok (aol/gamestorm), etc. Muds... cripes, tons... lords of chaos, batmud (bat.org 23, which is still around and kicking ass, has more population at most times than the avg starwars server lol.. and incidentally is more fun to play too), Zebu, baymoo, i suppose were the ones i spent the most time in. Mmmm... muds and moos. Tasty.

Started Galaxies day 1, played through CU, came back a month-2 months later (after the worst of the glaring horrible broken things were fixed) and played through to a week after NGE then retired char with Delete.

Pre-cu FTW <3

swg was my first, and since then i've tried many others including wow, gw, silk road, saga of ryzom, cov, and eve.

started swg in 03' between launch and mounts, whenever that was lol.

And it shouldnt come as too much of a suprise that swg was alot of people's first mmo.

#1, its star wars, regardless of whether you are an mmo fan or not or even know what an mmo is, alot of people just tried it because of the name.

#2 the broad variety of profession choices available attracted and kept more women, rp'ers, and folks interested in the non-combat side of gaming in addition to the "normal" male audience found in other games.

#3 it was a "2nd generation" mmo. many people outside of the hardcore gamers and asians began to become aware of mmo's at the time swg was released.

For the Horde!

Played various Mud's (trade wars Major Mud etc.) in the days before graphics. Played the Kingdom of Drakkar, Ultima Online, Ever Quest, Air Warrior III online (kind of like an MMO think of Plateside but with WWII era planes), and World War II Online before I played SWG.

Played and Enjoyed:
EQ, EQII, MxO, PoTBS, SWG, WoW, LoN, SGCCG

Older than sin. Old enough to know better, etc.

SWG was my first MMO, though I briefly visited EQ and 'just didn't get it'. Almost tempted to list Op Flashpoint as an MMO as that was the first immersive multiplayer online world I'd been in and really felt it was 'bigger than just a game'.

Started 800 and some days ago. January 04?

age 36, also female. thought I may as well add that since we are a minority in online gaming it seems

SWG was my first MMO will probably be my last because it left a poor 1st impression with how we were treated.

I started playing 8/03

29 here.
First mmorpg I've played (for a long time) was Anarchy Online. Then I've tested SWG pre-cu but I didn't get into it (my bad, went solo all the time). Played WoW for a couple months. At june-july 2005 I resubed at SWG. I quitted/ressubed/quitted when NGE.
