What's your main mmorpg?

d_20

Do you like to have one MMORPG to call home? Or is it impossible/not necessary these days?

As for me, I like to have one go-to game that I think of as my main. I had WoW for two solid years from 2007-2008 and started Darkfall from 2008 till it was wiped. Ever since then I've been drifting, but picked up all the games. I stuck with GW2, Rift, and SWTOR for about a year each.

I've been working on finding a new main game as my time is limited and I like to focus on one and maybe dabble in a couple of others. I've narrowed my rotation down to:

1 SWTOR (single player fun with option to group)
2 ESO (amazing potential, hoping Orsinium offers me single player fun, have a great guild to pvp with)
3 GW2 (thinking about HoT but haven't dived in yet, part of a great guild for both pve and pvp)

I tried WildStar and while it's fun, I've had some technical difficulties with it. I may try again later. Also, been playing a bit of Rift, but while a good game, I'm not that interested in it right now. I also liked FFXIV, but had technical difficulties with that as well.

If you have a main game, how long have you been playing it?

I'm just wondering if the days of having a single MMORPG are over, for me at least.

I know it's not popular to admit on this site but WoW. 

Playing some Vindictus on the side.

ESO

Gaming.Rocks2

I haven't had a single MMO since 2006 I think. I'm not sure if it's an age thing or it's the genre's fault. 

1) The Repopulation
2) Archeage
3) ESO
4) Final Fantasy XIV
5) Wildstar

But all 5 of them take only like 50% of my current gaming time.

until a year ago i had GW2 as home. but now i am homeless

Bladestrom

Was ESO, but i've returned to GW2 again for HOS as I'm lking the direction the game is going.  I only play 1 mmo at a time with 1 main character at a time for the immersion factor and the increased engagement with my char.  Its actually a pleasant dilemma that ESO/GW2/WildStar/Eve represents, I want to play them all lol.

GW2, SWTOR, ESO   Will more then likely pick up Blade and Soul when it launches.

If you had asked me this question last year I would never have thought to say ESO and SWTOR... but yet here I am playing these two and enjoying them.

SWTOR, with an occasional trip into Otherland

Pretty much same here, but still haven't played HoT, so I need to decide to buy it or not.

I've been thinking about crafting the Ascended gear. That kind of stuff keeps me busy and I like to have a long term goal like that in a game. But having a blast with SWTOR and waiting for ESO Orsinium DLC. It's good problem to have.

I do a bit of War Thunder for my pvp and keep Skyforge on my desktop as well.  Just not playing SF right now.

Still looking for a home.

I've mostly been playing Elsword lately, together with a little bit of Trove.

Though I had to avoid Elsword for about two weeks during the recent "a super-powerful boss will show up at random times and one-shot you, forcing you to start over" event.  No really, I'm not making that up.  But I did get $30 in item mall stuff that I might have otherwise paid real money for (this excludes item mall stuff that I'd never have bought myself) out of the event just for logging on and going AFK a bit, so maybe I shouldn't complain too much.

Swtor is kind of my home at the moment. It's been more of a rotation, but ESO is kind of been put on the back burner for now. SWTOR is sharing time with AC syndicate at the moment.

Everquest 2 for now.

I also play Counter Strike Global Offensive every day (not an MMO, I know).

I read some good (funny) reviews of CSGO on Steam and added to my wishlist. It's one of those games like TF2 that you eventually have to at least try. I will probably give it a go one day.

Trove is always fun and I keep that in my active Steam library. I haven't heard much about Elsword. I will look at it on Steam.

Elsword is side-scrolling action combat, and pretty fast paced.  There's a lot of 5-minute dungeon runs with PUGs created by an auto-grouping tool.  It's "free to play" with an item mall, but I haven't actually bought anything yet, though I'm going to get the "fetch aura" (automatically pick up all loot) soon.

Was killing a couple of weeks in Archeage but went back to FFXIV earlier in the week to check over some stuff and get prep'd for 3.1. If it goes well, FFXIV might be it or I'll just split time with AA again until BnS or 3.15.

DAOC and FFXIV. I play DAOC for rvr fun on the weekends with my guild, and FFXIV for pve the rest of the week.

Sinsai

SWToR only for now, was playing some Wildstar with guildies but really pressed for time lately.

I started Everquest on Lockjaw server and am actually loving gaining may be one level is like 7 hours. That over a few days too and running to the guard or zone like mad when I misjudge the yellow mobs. The sit down and meditate and no chain killing. Surprisingly the slow experience and fighting is soothing.

Currently ESO and WoS (not an mmo)

I've sampled a variety, stuck with WoW for a few years (2004 - 2007), but for me, "home" has always been Vendetta Online, which I've been playing steadily since June 2003 (12 years!).

I just logged on this morning over mobile to test a certain interstellar trade theory.  After about an hour of schlepping cargo worth over a million credits around some of the most dangerous sectors in the galaxy without defense, braving storms and potential pirate's nests, I failed to find the fabled Shangri-La that might offer more than a 6% return on investment.  Next time, I'll take a small sample in a light scout to search for that route of legend.  It was great.

I think Im more or less done with traditional style MMOs...

I've played Skyforge(recently) for a few weeks.  
For the last few years Ive been playing D3 in two month bits everyone 3-4 months.
I played GW2 from CBT to 1.5 yrs, haven't seriously played that in about 1-1.5 yrs.
Tried Wildstar for a month or two...so disappointing.
ESO has huge potential, and I know the game is quality.  I...just don't have the patience at the moment to immerse myself in story.

After playing Devilian this past weekend, I am anxiously waiting for that.

In the mean time, Dirty Bomb for some casual pew pew fun, sprinkling in some (insert game here)....

I have pretty much stopped playing MMO's, but when I feel I need to play one it's WoW or FFXIV.  I have switched to single player games.  Just finished playing Life is Strange.  One of the best Choice and Consequence games I have ever played.  Fallout 4 is right around the corner, so I'm set the rest of the year.
