after the AoC catastrophe i went to Vangaurd and was happy i did. VG rocks now. Still some hic ups in the system but very nice game so kudos SOE for once. I would of stayed but my g/f has a computer from 99 so we are now playing EQ1. Its still fun as hell. i love my evercrack
Guild Wars still, and have been doing so for 3,5 years. Getting tired of it now though, but because of lack of something better, I'm still logging in occasionally.
Warhammer Online beta, because I signed up and I take beta testing seriously.
------------------------------------------------
Playing: Final Fantasy Online: ARR, Destiny Most memorable games for me: UO, GW1, LoTRO
Bouncing around a bit, but I'm currently playing Vanguard SOH. It's actually pretty fun, the graphics are (IMO) great, and the world is huge and open. I've yet to see anything better, and doubt I will this year.
It has what i'd expect from MMORPG's these days but oncentrates more on content and longevity rather than Graphics/PvP/Raid only.
I was a Veteran of Star Wars Galaxies until 3 months after the NGE, been bouncing around maybe 5 MMORPG's over the years since and City of Heroes is the one for me till i see what Star Trek online and Knights of the Old Republic online will be like.
Tabula Rasa. I love entering the game and being in a battle in mere moments. And I mean a REAL battle in mere moments, not some "go over there and kill four big bugs and then come back here and I'll send you out to kill ten fireflies". Okay, there are dorky quests like that, too, but they're more rare than anything else, and most quests tend to be more battle based, although every now and then a quest takes you to a fort that's owned by the enemy, so you not only have to find the guy to turn the item into, but you have to free the base from the evil bane before that guy will even appear.
Games played:AC1-Darktide'99-2000-AC2-Darktide/dawnsong2003-2005,Lineage2-2005-2006 and now Darkfall-2009..... In between WoW few months AoC few months and some f2p also all very short few weeks.
I have some RL pals there and I still enjoy the game.
Vanguard.
I love the size and of the world. It also brings back some good memories from EQ, although I do wish there were more players, but currently the population on my server is just fine.
Lord of the Rings Online.
It's Hobbits and orcs and the greatest fantasy epic ever written, and pipe weed, and Tom Bombadil, and Balrogs, and ...
That Guild Wars 2 login screen knocked up my wife. Must be the second coming!
this game is an amazing sandbox, great customizations you can tweak spells, skills and gear.
Great mature community, huge explorable game world, Fantastic Mob AI that follows a prey/predator game mechanic (watch mobs fight each other, move around due to seasons and interact with you in a friendly way)
Eve Online:
The most complex sci-fi sandbox i've ever played.
Pvp with meaning, politics, territory control, deep crafting, Complex tactical combat and much much more.
Guild Wars:
Balanced and tactical pvp arena and GvG battles.
the ability to hire henchman and buy heros to help on pve campaigns.
Challenging PVE content, skill based game play, and great graphics that dont require you to buy a new computer. Oh and theres no monthly fee
Vanguard: Other than good pvp it as a little but of what everybody seems to look for in an MMO and the performance and population (at least on seradon) is improving by leaps and bounds
I'm currently playing LOTRO because they are going to come out with mines of moria soon, I am also playing it because there isn't really anything else out there right now worth my attention and My guild is over there having a great time, doing raids, having meetings, and is really active over there.
LOTRO is also a good game because it has good content, good gameplay, good community, and its overall a decent game. I admit I was burned out of it for awhile but Im coming back because it's really the only decent game out there that is solid all around and it's not full of bugs.

I played UO long time ago but I have to say ryzom is my first reall sandbox mmo and I'm really impressed. It's so refreshing not having to choose a class. I was surpriced that crafting and gathering matc can be fun. Besides that I like graphics and setting of this game.
Guild Wars.
Well I play it on and off for more then 3 years already. After such a long time if I still log in at least once a week it means a lot. I simply love almost every aspect of this game.
Funny. I like and pl;ay so different games. 1 is sandbox and the other one isn't even considered to be an mmo bo some =P I'm a living example that game developers don't have to make only linear games becouse there are players which can play both type of games =]
Not playing anything atm. I'm waiting for WAR and for a free trial of Vanguard. I'm bored with everything else. I may have ot start playing single player games again.
I make spreadsheets at work - I don't want to make them for the games I play.
was playing AoC last week ( pve has been unbalanced to balance pvp which still isn't balance plus most if not all gear looks crap ) and I'm now playing Tabula Rasa, mainly beacuse it's the only MMO I haven't tried and has more gear variety!, just want to play something that can hold me for more than a couple of months. Everything out there is just a load of pointless boring crap.

You don't have a signature. Or is that the point?
Final Fantasy XI, because:
-- It's a challenge.
-- Excellent community.
-- Tons of high-quality storyline content and many, many things to do at all levels.
-- Working economy in which money isn't just handed out, but isn't that difficult to make, either. Largely player-run, as well.
-- Graphics are somewhat dated but not bad and the art designs are excellent, and the sound superlative (both music and SFX).
EQ2 (because Im powerquester *g*)
Looking forward to Warhammer. Not because of the game (its crap), but because of my guild & old friends.
Lord of the Rings Online and Wizard101 because they are fun. What other reason is there to play a game?
WAR EU Beta, since the first day. It is what they promise. Not more, not less. Very good.
AoC because of the background story, i always was a fan of R.E.Howard's writtings. Its pointless PvP is annoying but there is pvp at least.
Tabula Rasa EU free-trial, i wanted to have a look on this game, due to that's scifi.
Rohan, that's a f2p and a good timesink, sometimes.
It is a question of fangs.
Guild Wars still, and have been doing so for 3,5 years. Getting tired of it now though, but because of lack of something better, I'm still logging in occasionally.
