Dark Age of Camelot. During that era I was working during the day and going to grad school at night. It left me no time for hobbies.

Originally posted by Wolfenpride Ultima online, didn't get into MMO's until EQ.
Hahaha dont let the people here fool you...UO was a disaster until Trammel came along...Before that people jsut lie in wait outside the gates of Brittain and ganked everybody.....It was a brutal game that only appealed to a few.....ALot of us were thrilled when EQ came along and gave us a real game to play.
Yeah, I stuck it out mainly because I didn't know any other mmos existed at the time. When EQ came out, I jumped as fast and as far as I could.
There are a lot of choices when it comes to picking MMORPGs to play. Some appeal to each individual more than others, and people of course have genre specific preferences too.
So my question is, what is the best MMORPG that is released that you have never played?
A game you've heard about constantly, but perhaps is a different genre than you enjoy, or has a feature you can't stand.
silly question.
how could i know it's among the best mmos if i never played it . i dont judge "good" or "best" according to what other people say. it's MY opinion that matters. so... sorry, if i didn't play it, i can't comment on it.

My list: DAOC (pre expansions), SWG (pre-rework) and MxO.

Dark age of camelot, Asheron's call, GW2, SWTOR, SWG, EQ
Out of these I wish I had played dark age of camelot, asheron's call and SWG as I most certainly would have enjoyed them. SWG was the only game I knew before it was released. Information about the rest of the game existing just never reached to me.
SWTOR and GW2 kinda feel boring and something that i've done over and over again already in world of warcraft. I guess nobody thinks these are the greatest games ever but I don't think I would have lasted over 10 minutes in them even if I had bought them at the release.
EQ is extremely hyped but doesn't feel like a game for my taste. I believe there was hardly any pvp in it. I mean the game shined brightest during the UO era, so thank god I did not even try it and waste my time as there were much better games available for me back then.
EG is extremely hyped but doesn't feel like a game for my taste.
What is EG? Not one I recognise.

Did WoW beta, but never paid or played the finished product, so thats a line there a little...
EVE....I like the type of gameplay, but I am not too big into space games, and a few aspects I don't like of the veteran/time status stuff.
I am not even saying WoW for me personally, as if I wanted to play it I would of, but saying WoW, as in it is a game a ton of people played, EVE is more up my alley.
The Secret World. I even think I would love the game but I am not sure my PC will run it and as such I won't risk the purchase. My specs are technically under reqs but I have been able to play plenty of games where this is the case. However, I would need a trial first.

Never checked it out because I don't like Star Wars but it sounds so good and un-Star-Warsy.
It never felt un-Star Wars-y, you didn't play the iconic characters but you lived and made your way in the Original Trilogy world. You can hang out in the Mos Eisley Cantina or visit Ben Kenobi's house or Jabba's palace, there are Stormtroopers hanging around the cities.

EVE
Reason: I don't like the setting (sci-fi).
Uo, lineage2, shadowbane
EverQuest, SWG and GW2
But GW2 is starting to rub me the wrong way with their changes..
Dark age of camelot
When it was popular pre-toa.

Ooo thanks X.. The one game I never got around to trying but wanted too.. Matrix ONline. I totally forgot about it.
I think Nak means EQ

I meant EQ = everquest now I got it right I think.

From the classics, I'm sorry I missed SWG and AC for sure.
In more modern space, I think UWO might be a game I could enjoy, but I don't seem to give it a chance.
For the wildcard, Entropa Universe....or whatever they call it these days.
