    Tabula Rasa was the one that I planned on playing, but it got shut down before I tried it.

    I prefer the original vision of Tabula Rasa. Now THAT is something that I wish we could play.

    Heck, I can't even find the original trailer anymore.

    Asheron Call 1 / 2

    Thatr one game with the dragon's (not dragon prophet)



    Re Dragon game? Do you mean Horizons that became Istaria: Chronicles of the Gifted ? The game was fantastic but lost me to lag and poor performance. Maybe I should try it again as it's still around.

    Asheron's Call 1 and 2.

    I skipped UO, EQ and SWG on purpose so they won't be listed.  Although maybe I should have tried SWG once they added space combat.

    My first choice would be DAoC.  It is regularly used as the epitome of massive pvp and I wish I had experienced it first hand.  

    The only other game that comes to mind is Asheron's Call.  But I don't know enough about it to really say I regret it.

    I started with Asheron's Call, and have played most of the MMOs since.   A few that are missing (being a proud father) are Toon Town, Wizards 101 and Pirates 101

    I'm in the same shoes with Sovrath and Picard, so a nope for me as well.

    Played pretty much everything I wanted, or at least have heard of - so I'm certain there are some small, obscure indie titles I've avoided in the last decades, but to be honest I dont feel I've missed out anything.
    (however I also admit, the capslock-heavy list of starstorm on page1 has quite some titles I missed, like Holic or Mirth Minions... do I wish I played them? Nope :) )


    Played more if could, now that's a more interesting question.
    A cancel is always unfortunate, but when it's a game you like it's even worse.

    Auto Assault I'd still play if it would be here, maybe that was the only game which was pulled from under me while I was actively playing.
    Vanguard as honorary mention, not among my main games, but went back often for some Diplomacy and crafting.

    Asheron's Call but I was too heavily engrossed in Everquest to care when it was available.

    Vanguard. It released the same year as TBC and LOTRO so never had the time to check it out. And there was so many complaints it didn't sound worth it at the time.

    Everyone else's answer SHOULD be Vanguard and Asta.

    Earth and Beyond - Just the name was breathtaking.
    And it Features: 
    Landing on Planets
    Space Legs
    3D Cockpit.

    This game really set the bar high for a year 2002.

    Warhammer Online : I played a bit, and really enjoyed my time, but I discovered it too late and moved on to many newer games.

    Would also have liked to see what Age of Conan was like as a MMO, with a community. You can still play it now on Steam, but it is pretty much a single-player experience. Pretty decent game! It seems very underrated on Steam.

    I played Vanguard up to the end. I even specifically subscribed to it as opposed to getting their all-game pass as I wanted to essentially "vote with my wallet."

    I agree, it was supposed to be somewhat of a fantasy MMO rather than science fiction. 
    I tried looking as well, the only thing I could find is confirmation of the original design:

    I believe I have played every MMO since they went from browser based MUDs and MUSHs to 2d/3d. The addiction is real.

    Maybe played MORE of, but if I saw a game that interested me I'd play it.

    SWG (pre-cu) - AoC (pre-f2p) - PotBS (pre-boarder) - DDO - LotRO (pre-f2p) - STO (pre-f2p) - GnH (beta tester) - SWTOR - Neverwinter

    I kind of want to say WildStar. I've learned communities matter for my long term enjoyment of an MMO and the guild I joined when WildStar began fizzled out and I never went to another one. If I did, I might have played more and enjoyed it. I went back when it was announced they were shutting down and it was pretty empty. That tells me that even if I did find another group, that would have fizzled out too.

    I do wish there was an option to make WildStar a single player non-MMO game.

    Lots of little crappy ones that are long gone just because they did one thing right. But only one thing and nothing else and eventually faded into obscurity or got shut down completely.

    This isn't a signature, you just think it is.

    That's really a tough question. Would there be any games that I would play now that I missed then? No. But If I could go back in time and experience those games when they were released? there would probably be a few. SWG is one of them...I think it was a genre defining moment as well as a Genre defining game. I would have loved to experience Everquest in it's heyday. But they don't pull my interest at all at this point, gaming tech has just advanced too far for me to enjoy those earlier releases in my current state.
    Now, if you were talking about games that I played in their heyday that I would love to revisit in their original form, then yeah, definitely. Star Wars the Old Republic, LotRo, a few others, I'd love classical versions of those.

    Did I miss something? I've seen UO, DAOC and EQ mentioned a few times, aren't these games still alive and not shut down..?
