Favorite MMORG

[Violet Dawn]

When I was a teen I loved mmorpgs but I could never find any good ones. Now that I'm an adult I have so many I enjoy. So I am wondering what your favorite ones are and where did you find out about them.

Mine would probably be good old Runescape or Aura Kingdom. I don't like the outdated look of runescape, but no one has beaten that level of involvement for me. Except maybe WoW which I haven't really had much experience in playing.

Guild Wars & Guild Wars 2
I've been playing them since the first one came out.

I think that's just a role playing game.

I do not get into them anymore, but wow was my mine. Tons to do, from what I hear though a lot has changed with the game, some say for the good, others say for the bad.

Everquest, which is 18 years old this week. I've mentioned it recently on another thread. I just feel lost playing the live version anymore. There's just too much content, and half of it doesn't make any sense to me. However, I recently discovered the EQ emulation community, and specifically Project 1999, which has rolled back the content to the first few years, which is when I was most deeply involved. I have put a lot of hours into Project 1999 in the last month. It's been tons of fun getting back into it.

Still Everquest for me, though I quit almost ten years ago and vowed "no more MMORPGs ever!" as it was like having a second full time job (so never tried WoW), especially the two years I spent in a bleeding edge raid guild - that would have been PoP and the two or three expansions after.

Was speaking to someone at a D&D group I just joined and they told me a new time-locked server has just launched with only the original game, no expansions, with Kunark to follow in three months. *Imagines Plane of Hate in original era equipment at level 50 and no AAs*

Funny y'all mentioned EQ, earlier today I was reminded of the great Fansy The Bard and looked up the website to see if it was still around.

For those not in the know, in the old days of EverQuest, there was a PVP server called Sullon Zek, which basically almost had no rules. One of the very few rules was that you could not be PK'd if you were under level 6. This lead to some of the greatest trolling and comedy ever, at the hands of one Fansy The Bard.

I don't think I've heard of that one :O

 

[DrWangFei]

I don't think I've heard of that one :O

Asheron's Call was one of the big 3 (or 4) original MMO's, released a few months after the first EQ, just closed all servers 2 months ago

 

[Nikola Tesla]

Wasn't Asheron's Call 8-bit? I kid, I kid.

 

[Violet Dawn]

Tried Guild Wars 2 today. Love it. Have no idea what I'm supposed to do, but that's the beauty of these games.

 

[Misono]

Final Fantasy XI

runescape is my favorite. pretty much the only mmorpg game ive played. i love both rs3 & osrs.

 

[ShyCollegeSlut]

Old school runescape for sure. If any other girls play feel free to drop your username and i'll add you to my friends list so we can chat and play together.

This is a painful reminder of the generation gap.

This is a painful reminder of the generation gap.

Well, not particularly. My mom played lots of RPGs when I was a kid, but we'd didn't have the internet capability to play MMORPG's for most of my childhood. My mom started playing Runescape in 2006 or so. Living in the middle of nowhere does that to you. Lmao.

I played EVE Online for 11 years but my favorite was the original Star Wars Galaxies. Have many friends through those two games.

It was my first and favorite. Part of the reason it was my favorite is I had a number of IRL friends play it which really helped. I guess WOW would be next favorite, I stopped playing all of them 7 or 8 years ago.

 

[Nastytentacle]

Aion and Elder Scrolls online.
I've spent years playing the first one, absolutely love it . Got a lvl 66 Cleric.
Elder Scrolls is something I've recently started to play, but it's soooo goood too, I'm a noob sorc lvl 7.

I never really got into EQ, WoW, or others. Even though I did have my EQ account for quite a few years. The lower levels were fun. But, once you got high enough, it really became almost impossible for a solo player to do much. Also, I usually spent twice as much time researching quests as I did playing. Add that to many of the quests were camped frequently. Just those two alone made it painful to play with so little time to play as it was.

Rarely do I get to game anymore anyway. Between work, and other activities, just not enough time. Makes me feel like my XB1 and PS4 are just sitting, collecting dust....

For me, in more recent times, easily Final Fantasy XIV. Great story and fun gameplay.
