May contain nuts.

I'm interested to see people's views on this. I see a lot of posts where people constantly refer back to their first MMORPG when comparing games.

My first MMORPG was WoW (for shame!) and sadly I fall among those who will make comparisons to it, purely due to my limited frame of reference.

One good thing that has come out of this however is that  my eyes have been opened to the wider genre (along with millions of others, for better or worse) and I follow all new games on the horizon with great interest. I'm not above switching allegiance should the right game that suits my playstyle come along.

Forum Poll

Is your first MMORPG still your favourite?

Absolutely. It was, and will be the best for a long while.
I have a fondness for it, but have moved onto better things
I'm glad to see the back of it. I've found something far superior.

"In EVE, no one gives a damn about a fair fight." - chafin

My first MMORPG was Lineage 1 (US version) and while I still hold some fondness, today's games are far superior in many ways.  But I did make a lot of good friends there, mostly because the gameplay was pretty lacking, so chatting with friends was the best part of the game. 

Today's games keep you too busy.

UO was my first, but EQ was my first love.

So much I miss from the classic era of that game.

Jesus saves. Everyone else takes full damage

FFXI was my first and definitely my favorite.

I didnt appreciate it so much then, but the more I play new stuff, the more I think the earlier MMOs had it right

Asheron's Call 2 was my first one. Loved that game, no matter the problems it got,
but it's not my favourite.

The enemy is so dumb! They believe that WE are the enemy! - A famous orc commander.

EQ is long dead for me.  (2002-2003?)

 

CoX is just dead for me. (2006-2007?)

 

There are leagues of evolutions between the 2 games, and both are dead for me.  I would expect the new game to improve from CoX; and that might just never happen.  So I might just go take a walk instead.

 

At any rate, I am looking, semi-interested.

My first MMO was Star Wars Galaxies... By far my favorite MMO, and haven't found anything to replace it. I don't think it's entirely because it was my first MMO that I look at it so fondly, but because it spoiled me with the sandbox style game I loved that few can match. It's like being born free and then being tied down for the rest of your life. I miss freedom.

Tried: LotR, CoH, AoC, WAR, Jumpgate Classic
Played: SWG, Guild Wars, WoW
Playing: Eve Online, Counter-strike
Loved: Star Wars Galaxies
Waiting for: Jumpgate Evolution, Earthrise, Fallen Earth, anything sandbox.
