Asheron's Call for me. I didn't realize how good that game was until I played a lot of other MMOG's. Too bad the game is outdated now, especially the interface.

My first MMO was DAOC.

thelawoflogic

Psikorps

technically I played Meridan 59 for a test or free trial period, It sucked. Really I played SWG first back in july of 04, and haven't found a game as deep and immersive.

PsyX

Ultima Online or was it tibia .. cant remmber

Molochai

FFXI, I played it for almost 4 years. I started when it came out on Ps2. Now, moving on to MMOs on pc, which i may add is alot better imo.

My first MMOG - actually it was just an ORPG (Online Roleplaying Game) was Virtopia Online - i think it is still running but the community is probably only a hundred or so ppl petz.pokemonvillage.com is the link to the game. I was also playing a game called Well of Souls which was actually pretty decent since you could make your own character skins and make your own worlds the link for that is www.synthetic-reality.com but this game too is pretty old so i dont think the community will be very big.

My first popular MMO was, I think, FFXI

My first multiplayer online experience was with a MUD called "The Weave" in the early 90's; I'd done a search for "Robert Jordan" to see what I could find, and ended up finding a MUSH called "Tales of Ta'veren" based on the books. That was the first time I'd ever even heard of MUDs or MUSHes, and it led me to all sorts of resources that ultimately got me to The Weave. I spent about a decade with various MUDs, occasionally as a builder or admin of one sort or another, until Ultima Online was released. At the time, I'd spent so much time with MUDs that I couldn't really justify $10.00 a month for graphics.

A little time passed, I was looking for a change, and then Everquest was released. I decided to give it a try. I hated it. Oh, how I hated it- most of it, anyway (I did like the artwork and the faction system). I played it for about 3 months, hoping I was just missing something, but it didn't have anything I hadn't seen in a MUD other than graphics and extra players; the game mechanics, the classes, the races, even the commands were all things I'd seen in literally hundreds of MUDs. I'd pretty much decided to go back to MUDding, where at least there were more themes to choose from, when Asheron's Call was released. I bought it, I tried it, I loved it, I played it for four-and-a-half years.

By the strictest definition, Everquest was my first MMO, but Asheron's Call was the one that really took hold of my imagination. Still, I probably never would have tried either of them if it hadn't been for MUDs. God bless text games.

Conquer online xD

MMOG? If it counts it has to be Starcraft. Other than that the first one I really sunk my teeth into was Starwars Galaxies. I didn't do much MUD'ing before then. Action games and RTS's where more to my taste.

Jenuviel, you must have a will of steel. I tried MUD's once. Looking at the map frustrated me. It was convoluted. I was looking for the weapons shop and I ended up in the middle of the "Forbidden Land".

It went something like:

You are now in area 6/28 of the Forbidden Land. A monster is coming after you. It looks powerful. What do you do?

Me: What the hell?! I just wanted to go to the weapons shop. Umm... run?

Apparently I stepped in a random portal teleporting me to the edge of the world. It's cool though there are players out there who enjoy MUD's.

Mudshovel

Well, my first "online" game where you could actually play with other people over the net was Diablo. Really enjoyed it back in the days.

But the my first true MMO was Ultima Online and The realm "owned by sierra".

Those where the good days...

TheAngryPanamanian

uo baby and id still be playin it if they wouldnt of gimped pvp

Rhaycen

Asheron's Call, still a great game as such ... but horribly outdated ... they shouldn't have wasted their energy on AC2 but just made an "expansion pack" with AC2 graphics for AC ...

Dartje

My first one was Anarchy Online Played it for 6 months orso.
Then came DAOC, my longest played MMORPG till date. Spend 2 1/2 years at lvl 45-49 constantly rvr'ing. Once i reached lvl50 i quitted within a week.

World of Warcraft was my first, but it was FFXI that really got me into MMORPGs (and I still play it).
