i first played an mmorpg in year six which was runescape, and i played that into year 7, and then WoW came out yay!...not! i played that for month but was terribly bad at it back den, so thats when i got into the real mmorpgs, after dat i played knight online and when i got my first player kill i loved pvp! ( the guy i killed was afk lol, and i didnt really know anything in year 7 about what to do and all dat )
then in year 8 i really started getting into mmorpgs, cause i understood them know then i went back to WoW joined an awesome guild full of aussies which was one of the funniest times in WoW, got my druid up to lvl 60 and quit in 2005 ( and no i was not a stupid 13 year old who spams chats and all dat, i was the youngest in my guild of 400 people and was just as mature and all dat cr4p) and then started playing other mmorpgs.........
so now ur turn to tell about ur first mmorpg and yeh all dat stuff, but no auto biographys.....

What do you have against "th"? It's a perfectly legitimate way to start a word in English.
My first MMORPG was Ultima Online. I was 26 at the time. My fondest memory was of my "wedding" (to my RL husband). A PK guild crashed the party, but our wedding guests slaughtered them. Or maybe my fondest memory was chasing a red into his house (located right outside a mine, not surprisingly) and killing him as he renamed a recall rune locked to the floor "I ban thee".
KAL ORT POR!

This is where I draw the line: __________________.
The first 3 years were interspersed with Unreal Tournament, Phantasy Star Online for Dreamcast, and Zelda for the Super Nintendo. Mainly the guys and gals I played EQ with played most or all of the others I was on at the time, so those that were close enough started hanging around together on weekends, to play non-EQ together... I used to drive 4 hours every Saturday Morning to hang out with game friends and play Street Fighter and Killer Instinct with them... those were the days...
Then we started raiding...
And the addiction that was EverCrack took hold in me, changing my life forever...
i've been a game addict most my life, but i guess i'm a noob for this genre since i've killed lots of time on mmo's but haven't played that many games. this site is good for finding out that there are actually lots of other good games
My blog:
Well, the topic is also about losing your virginity, so I guess a Chevy Impala is okay......
Total time played: 9125 Days, 21 Hours, 29 Minutes, 27 Seconds
Time played this level: 39 Days, 1 Hour, 24 Minutes, 5 Seconds
I played EQ, over a year of time played by 2003...prolly by 2002, as I was playing far less in the late time. I have 1 year completely off after my first year (jobs lack). So between 1999 and 2002, with 1 year not playing, I still have 1 year of time played on my EQ main which I start playing AFTER I come back, not on my first try of the game...I was playing a drood for sometimes in the pre-kunark era, give it to a guy who wasn't able to level and that start raiding like there are no tomorrow with utter glee...when I come back, I start my chantress...and overplay it badly. Left because I hate raiding and this is how it end for everyone in this game.
I also played CoH/CoV a lot, up to now. I have 5 maxed-characters which have prolly more in time played total then my EQ characters, but none are close on their own alone vs my EQ main which has sooo much time...silly little chantress. I come and leave regularly, usually leave because of some nerfs. I feel like this might not be "virginity" lost, but it might be first real fun MMO.
I did try WoW (less then 24 hours), EQ2 (1 week), SWG-NGE (2-3 days), AA (1 month+ some), Horizons (2-3 weeks), SoR (1 Month), DDO (3 days in beta), Vanguard (1 day in beta), DAoC(2 weeks).
I didn't find them appealing, so I left them behind, although I spend more time explaining to some or encouraging some, then with others.
I really love my games when I play them. If I stop loving them, I stop playing them. I dream about games, I take the bus and think about them, I work and think about them...Nothing new here. It is the way I am. I just love to give too much attention and interest to these games, MMOs or not.

THe next day was freakin crazy, chose Kora Vella as a starting point, TOns and tons of new noobs runnin around and random dudes commin up to me teaching me all the langs . I was so scared to leave the area for about a month after lauch.
One of my friends had got enogh money and went to yavin, but he didnt think about the return trip and was stuck their for a week while me and another saved up enough money to get him off.
The daily tells i got were, Dude i am corpse hoppin acros this place NEVER COME HERE.
Kora Vella , i always revisit when i get free trial emails, i will always remeber those days of being scared to leave the area, and runnin around in noob grps and bone armor lmfao. I want those days back.
WORD LIFE LAWL SAUCE
It all started over at my friends house when i saw him playing Medal of Honour : Allied Assault.
( FPS Game ) I loved the idea of people playing online with eachother and commnicating
with eachother using software such as Vent, TS etc.
I played for an hour or two and i was hooked, simply loved it.
We formed a clan that consisted of me, RL friends, and my friends uncle wich i thought
was quite cool since i only met him once or twice in RL and i got to know him
very well through the game. After 2 years of mohaa i met some new friends in game,
which now are my 2 closest friend when it comes to gaming buddies.
One of them introduced me to Entropia Universe. He told me about the game
and that it had a real cash economy which i found very interesting.
I downloaded the game and well... that's where i lost my MMORPG Virginity
Enjoyed EU for 2-3 years and ive been enojying all types of MMOs ever since,
such as; WoW, ( played it for bout' 18 months ) Almost every F2P game there is -.- ,
CoX, RS, SWG. DAoC, EQ2, L2, RFO, GW, etc. And now im waiting for AoC / WAR.
I only really enojyed 2 of the games and that's mainly becuase i was playing
them together with my friends, i hope AoC or WAR will re-capture
magic feeling i first had playing together with them. Average games
can become so much incredibly f*cking fun playing together with
your friends. Im really holding my thumbs for the upcomming MMO's
Well, the topic is also about losing your virginity, so I guess a Chevy Impala is okay......
Ah, the good ol' days when you actually had to drive over to your GF's house to go on a date.
My first MMORPG was Gemstone on the old GEnie service in 1987 or so. This was actually a text-based MUD, and GEnie was similar to Prodigy or AOL, but much more primitive for those young'uns who might not remember it. All I remember is GEnie charged by the minute and I wracked up a $300 bill. Mind you, I was in junior high at the time so I wiped out my summer job savings paying my Dad's GEnie bill and he forbade me to go anywhere near his computer for a couple months after that. I turned my attention to single player RPGs and slowly lost interest in computer gaming by the early nineties.
Fast forward to the summer of 2005. I'd always joke around with a coworker who'd never played RPGs that I was a big D&D nerd in junior high. Having felt like he missed out on a mispent youth of 20-sided dice and troll slaying, he went out and got Guild Wars. This rekindled my interest in computer gaming and I spent a summer cooped up in my apartment getting several characters to level 20. Around this time, he fried his PC and bought a Mac. Since he no longer had access to games that ran on a Windows platform, he switched to WoW. Not too jazzed with the Arena PvP Guild Wars had to offer, I followed him over to the darkside and had an amazingly fun year and a half run on WoW. WoW was the first game where I really felt that excitement and wonder of being in a different "world." I'm currently not playing anything and waiting for the next MMORPG that catches my eye (my fingers are crossed for WAR).
My first MMO was a text-based MUD called Federation and it was hosted by AOL in 1994. It was more an economic simulation in that you earned money buying and selling commodities in order to gain rank and power. Eventually, you were able to buy your own planet and run it's economy and if you became rich and powerful enough, you could become a Duke and open your own Duchy where you were able to take several other planet owners under your wing. Federation is still around as Federation II, but IMHO, they ruined the game worse than the original got ruined because of broken code and unlimited time.
Next game was The Realm. A fairly good game that is still in operation. When I got bored with it, I started looking for other online games and found NexusTK and Dark Ages, two games by the Korean company Nexon. I was supposed to beta test Asheron's Call, but my computer couldn't handle it. When I finally upgraded, I started playing EQ, but wasn't able to invest the time necessary to advance very far. Next came Dark Age of Camelot (2 years), Anarchy Online (2 months), the Sims Online (2 days), Eve Online (6 months) and I'm currently playing EQ2.
My second mmo was Dark Age of Camelot. I played that mainly because my significant other at the time was playing it. We have played Earth and Beyond together and wanted to play something else as well. DAoC got the shot. It was okay but it could have been better.
My third mmo and still passion was SWG. I had SWG since launch and I was in the beta but I never played it a great deal until my relationship ended and I left DAoC. I still love SWG. I play it all the time.
Well, my first MMORPG was Ultima Online. I was able to play it in my country aroud 1998. But I was still quite young then and I had problems with getting the credit card from my father. But I was successful, but, due to our 56k modem, I was able to play only 1 or 2 hours per day. The game "sucked" me in at the very first moment, and that "1 hour" soon growed to "10 hours" and on and on. I used to sneak at night to play the game. I was obsessed, really. When the first 300$ bill came in the next month, I had to pay it for myself (as a punishment - and said goodbye to my "money savings") and I wasn't allowed to play the game again... until father forgot about it. Then all started again - big bills, no sleep, bad marks in school... I was quite sick. While my friends were playing outside, I was at home, playing UO. I had problems with my father about the game 'till we got ISDN connection. Then, I was able to use my internet for the whole day. Actually, since then, I return every now and then to check UO (once per year, at least), for a month or two. I still like it, in a way, but I hate it even more.
So that was my first MMORPG but, by far, not last. It was quite a unique experiance and it makes me laugh every time I think of it.
Knock the world right off its feet and straight onto its head.
