Was World Of Warcraft your first MMO you played?
Comments
No thank God!
no.
my first MMO was EQ (pre-luclin)
No, it was a odd game called Meridian 59 a long time ago. It actually invented a lot of things that we see in games like Wow today but it was too early since most people still had dial up modems.
I took a break after that, then I started Lineage (betatested it actually). Then I took a few years off again before I started Guildwars.
A few years ago I tried EQ2 and liked it (just after EoF). Then I started AoC at launch but got back to EQ2 a month ago, this time bringing soem old friends that are tired of Wow.
So, no. I never played Wow (I was looking forward to it while Jeff Strain was the boss of it but when he jumped of I lost interest). And I played MMOs for more than 10 years with some shorter and longer stops. I also tried ot a lot of other games but not for long.
what is the purpose of this poll? what do you want to find out?
Playing: Rohan
Played (from best to worst): Shadowbane, Guild Wars, Shayia, Age of Conan, Warhammer, Runes of Magic, Rappelz, Archlord, Knight online, King of Kings, Kal online, Last chaos
I was just curious.
Which Final Fantasy Character Are You?
Final Fantasy 7
No, Final Fantasy XI was my first
No, EVE shortly after it was launched.
Nope, The Realm was my first.
And that's going waaaay back!
FFXI was my first, then RFO, then EVE, then WoW, then back to eve and FFXI.
Since then i've been a bit of a vagrant and tried AoC, LoTRO, Tabula Rasa, Lineage, CoX, Requiem, Runes of Magic, Ether Saga etc...
Too many, i think i'm burning out lol
Yes, I got it the same month I got broadband.
Well, EQ was kinda my 1st... but I only played it for 6 days.
FFXI was the 2nd, played that 3 months.
WoW was the 3rd. Played for most of the game's retail life.
Currently my account is inactive, has been for a few months.
I did this before back when CoD4 was released... taking break to play something else never hurts.
Tho I 'm not sure If I'm ever going back... Probably will but not anytime soon.
No, Earth & Beyond was my first paid for MMO and the one i still miss the most to be honest.
It must be Thursday, i never could get the hang of Thursdays.
No, SWG was my first MMO.
I have a feeling a lot of the people on this site won't have WoW as a first MMO, simply because this site tends to attract the more hardcore MMOers, simply by design.
Tried: LotR, CoH, AoC, WAR, Jumpgate Classic
Played: SWG, Guild Wars, WoW
Playing: Eve Online, Counter-strike
Loved: Star Wars Galaxies
Waiting for: Earthrise, Guild Wars 2, anything sandbox.
I played Runescape for a while before I found WoW.
Anarchy Online was my first... then Final Fantasy XI... and the first MMO I enjoyed was Star Wars Galaxies.
It was quite a while before I tried WoW
MMOs played (In order of how much I've liked them): Star Wars Galaxies, World of Warcraft, Vanguard, City of Villains / Heroes, Guild Wars, Warhammer Online, Age of Conan, Tabula Rasa, Anarchy Online, Ryzom, Final Fantasy XI, Matrix Online, RF Online, Rappelz, Hero Online, Roma Victor
I wager for most WoW was their first MMO. many may hate WoW, but WoW did the industry a favor by bringing in a huge number of new players off the Xbox and back onto the PC
Torrential: DAOC (Pendragon)
Awned: World of Warcraft (Lothar)
Torren: Warhammer Online (Praag)
Nope WoW wasn't my first. Lineage 1 was where it all began for me.
This is almost mathematically a certainty. The total paid sub base before WoW would be a million or less, consider that none of the big games back then maintains 1 million sub. Now WoW has 12million. So mathematically, 11million subs comes to surface with WoW.
Everquest. Started just before Kunark was released.

I ask for so little. Just fear me, love me, do as I say and I will be your slave.
My first MMO was City of Heroes closely followed by Guild Wars. If you don't count that one MUD I played for a month before my parents banned me from the internet in 1997... I can't even remember the name... ^_^:;;
(they had they internet in 1997? Yes we did and it was tres bad...
Wait let me get a link.... click me )
(,,,)=^__^=(,,,)
nope... My first = UO.
my first mmo was horizons but only play that for a week. my first real mmo was star wars galaxies..every 5 minutes i had that wow moment..it was amazing.
Good thing you didn't wager because right now only 8 percent say this was their first MMO.(not that I would ever claim this site as being a true representative of the MMORPG community)
SWG in 2004 was my first MMO. I actually didn't start playing World of Warcraft until recently.
Currently Playing: World of Warcraft
Everquest, back before they released any expansions.
