I played for a few years but then got bored i still play every once and awhile but i used to play way to much.

At this point in time i don't feel the populations is large enough for things to be as fun as they used to be and could be.. but i've tried so many other mmorpg's and nothing compares to ao for me.... The sci-fi aspect  and what i feel is really great proffession design is what makes AO my favorite MMORPG.

I tried getting some people to play the game over the years and to many people have a hard time learning how to play... me i didn't get much help i basically learned alot on my own and reading forum posts..... I actually enjoyed learning new things every day about the game  unlike other games where i can't stand trying to figure out what i should do .

All games are grinds but (for me ao for the first 2 years never felt like a grind it was all fun for me)i think what makes someone like a mmorpgs are the distractions from the grind (unless they are korean then they just really want to kill monsters over and over using the same boring skills/spells over and over again J/k ).. for me the design of the professions in the areas of skills,  nano's,  advantages/disadvantages and how they work well together made me not feel like i was doing repedative stuff over and over even though i was.

I had a machine that could remove all my memories of ao so that i could experaince the game as a new player again.

If  it;s hard to understand what i'm saying im sorry i'm very tired at the moment and i'm just typing what i'm thinking without editing..

Voted for MxO because Anarchy-Online wasn't on the list..... and even though i never really got into MxO i really liked the way the skill tree is in Mxo (being able to change class/Prof at will and the crafting system)

Been addicted to Anarchy-Online for a few years now... keep taking breaks trying to stay away but always go back.

I choose other for Funcom... while i'm not that excited about AoC or any mmo's in the works i have more respect for FC as a game developer and company then all the rest on the list.. with the exception of plaync/ncsoft.... plaync/ncsoft is the only other company i have any trust or hope for.

Funcom should have been on this list..

I'd like one if possible.
