Your MMORPG History

Kiroy · 02-22-2007, 10:51 AM

Bored at work?

Thought it would be pretty interesting if we all took a couple moments to lay out or personal MMORPG history. I'm just gonna do games, but feel free to bust out characters and general hardcoreness if you want.

1997-2001 Ultima Online
2001-2004 Everquest
2004-2006 Ping Pong between EQ2, Eve, COH
2007 canceled EQ2, Tried VG for 14 days, COH

I'm currently playing COH causally, and have no plans to try anything else for a while.

Cuppycake · 02-22-2007, 10:54 AM

This will be fun.

2001 - 2004: Everquest
2004 - Present (off and on): Everquest II
2004 - Present (off and on): WoW
2007 - Present: Vanguard

Also tried CoH, L2, DDO, Guild Wars, and DAoC. Didn't care for any of those and didn't last longer than a week. Also went back to EQLive briefly when OoW came out, and then again when PoR came out and again when the Progression server came out. Didn't last long then either.

EQ (kunarkish)-> CoH -> WoW -> Guildwars (i still play this regularly) -> EQ2
played PSO some where in there.

i suck at dates.

currently in limbo. kind of stuck doing real life crap with some GW on the side.

Now i played EQ1 speicifcaly because it reminded me of daggerfall, so when i think of starting eq1, i always think of the hours i sank into daggerfall. the bugs in eq1 were reminiscent of the ones in daggerfall too

This thread seems kinda gay. Almost like all we're waiting on is the fool to say he played Runescape so he can be the soggy biscuit.

kcxiv · 02-22-2007, 11:16 AM

WoW for like 4 months til i realized i hated it.

I also played silkroad online a lil while now that i think of it. but it had far too much asian grind. I liked the merchant/bandit/hunter idea though.

It was worth playing for the awful translations alone. the healing spell was worded something like "this is not ability that causes bad. this is ability that restores your good". it was awesome.
