Where did you have the most fun?

fernetek

Soooo random topic! Which MMORPG and time period on said MMORPG did you most enjoy (enjoyment being your subjective opinion, obviously)?

 

One of the most fun times I've ever had was on a World of Warcraft, more specifically when getting the achievment of killing all of the enemy faction's leaders. Although I found the rest of the game a bit boring and repetitive (espcially raids), I had oodles of fun organizing huge armies of players for PvP battles.

Everquest and Asheron's Call back in 1999

 

You made your own quests,your own journeys.

 

it took years before the games became boring...

 

not 1 month.

Asherons Call. It was the only game that not only topped UOs PvP with insanely long fights but the guild, and even the community was amazing during the games first 3 years.

It was so great that there were times I would stand around a few of the towns and just hand out items to random people, even got a few people together and hopped on a roof on put on a show for everyone by dropping different elemental arrows to light the area up and then have everyone start casting war magic in sync to put on a firework show...cause the game didnt have fireworks. Even got kicked by a GM and banned once for doing it cause it was causing server lag

Vanilla / BC WoW.  Great guild, cool people, fun dungeon runs and helping in-guild lowbies learn the game.  About 1/4 of the guild was IRL friends.  Most of us were only on our first or second toons, so gameplay was still fresh.

Yeha, being a noob and going on ally town/city raids in WoW with friends was some of the most fun I've had in an MMO. I remember being scared as hell when I saw some allies attacking the crossroads and their lvl icon was a skull. I tried fighting back, but it didn't go so well.

Star Wars: Galaxies of course!  Before people knew how to use the powerful macro system.... before the flooding of multi-afk bots.

A really crappy looking game called blademistress, was my 1st online game. Met alot of cool people there. It was all about communtiy as there was no pvp.

GW2 BWE3, first time trying the Asura. Had a great time during that event.

TheHavok

The fourth MMO I played, WoW was the most fun.  Vanilla was just fantastic.  I met some really cool people who I wish I had kept in touch with.  The game just flowed so well and seemed to get better and better the more I played.

Diablo 3 ... finally tuned a arcane orb build that can do Inferno Act 2 well.

I had great time in The Lord of the Rings Online with community created events such as the Great Triathlon, sit outside The Prancing Pony listen to RP players sing songs and tell their stories, developer take the role as Amarthiel and randomly show up and attack around the places. It made the world feel alive. That was all before Warner Bros acquired Turbine.

Asherons Call circa 2001 (I started playing in Nov in 1999)  But in early 2001 was when I finally rerolled my gimped Sword, Melee, Xbow specced character with only item magic to a Axe/Life/Lore specced Melee toon devoted to destroying the coasts of Aerlinthe Isle.  Best MMO time of my life.

Vapors

Definitly in age of conan, took me months until i could handle my barbarian, and after i was getting better and better, i just loved every second on the battlefield slashing my enemies with the screaming voices of my barbarian haha going into fatality getting out and go on fighting the next.

Everquest 2. Had people that talked to each other and helped one another out. Can you believe that you actually had to form groups back then? LFG tool killed all player accountability and your reputation no longer meant anythinng.

Played it for 4 years before SoE finally destroyed it enough that I couldn't force myself log in.

xenoclix

Ultima Online back in the 90s. The amount of freedom, interactivity, things to do, and social activities that you would do everyday is something you don't see nowadays in MMOs. Saying that, a few years later i had fun in Vanilla WoW with my best mates, alot of laughter.

Its a distant memory that i will always remember!

reploidx

Everquest in during the summer of 2002. I just got the game and wandered around the world. Accidently getting killed because you didn't click on NPCs to talk to them, you had to type in "Hail" and if you lagged and you didn't know you where not typing, you would hit the "A" button and killed slaughtered. My second day playing a max level player came up to me and just handed me armor and weapons and told me to have fun, which i do to this day to newer players in games that I play. Not to mention everything was so open there was so many areas to discover and explore. A few times the GMs would jump on and start talking to players as guards or start killing people. City Raids from players here and there where scary as a new player. (not knowing about PvP rules of course ) Played that game for four years straight, and now i just can't go back to it.

Asherons Call 1999 - 2008

but in early 2002 time was when it was at its best. so many storys and memorys in that game. and every single month there was a content update it was so fun logging in on patch day and running around  the world trying to find the new content.

and still the best pvp i have played in any MMO.

Definitely DAoC, 2002-2004ish. Basically Classic and Shrouded Isles.

 

You would spend hours grinding in groups with your realmmates to hit 50, but if something in the frontier was going down, you'd drop what you were doing and head out there. You'd apply all those hours you spent grinding on RvR that actually felt meaningful because you had pride for your realm. Relic raids, keep takes, PvP in DF, all felt epic.

 

It would take months, if not years, to maximize a character's full potential in those days. When that happened, you had a bunch of other classes within your own realm to reroll, not to mention an entirely different faction. There was almost no cross over between different faction's leveling areas (excluding leveling in the frontiers and DF) and even then each faction had their respective areas. I have not found a game that nailed the gameplay cycle down as solidly as DAoC did. The grind to 50 made RvR feel even more worthwhile and the RvR was epic enough to make you push through the grind. Not only once, but multiple times.

Misthawk

I would have to say EQ1 up until Omens of War.  There was something about the expansions that came after that, that seemed to suck away the life and challenge of the game.  I started the game around when Planes of Power went live, so I really never witnessed the game (though I heard it was even more challenging before PoP) before then.

Wolfenpride

PvE: Everquest. Enormous world with hundreds of things to do and explore. Played it for years. Plenty of places I never made it to or finished to this day.

PvP: Dark Age of Camelot. Best PvP, community, and siege system to date as far as i'm concerned.

Xzen

UO. It was the only mmorpg where I got to get into my character's skin. Being a thief or an assassin or a politician were not classes you picked during character creation. The roles people played came from their imagination.
