Ultima Online and Asheron's Call all day erry day

EQ and FFXI. Not sure which I played more but I was shit at both

EQ

Everquest, DAoC, Ultima Online, SWG, Anarchy Online, Planetside, City of Heroes
I only played vanilla WoW for a few months.
I continued to jump around Everquest, SWG, DAoC, and dabbled in EQ2, GW1/2, Planetside 2, EVE, TOR, STO, Mortal Online, and more recently BDO, WoW (since Legion), and FFXIV.

The only ones that have ever been able to truly capture my attention were Everquest, Ultima Online, DAoC, and SWG. Immersion is the most important factor for me when it comes to MMORPGs, and those four were the best.

Nexus, Dark Ages, RO

Really small chance anyone remembers the game Astonia 3. It was some weird janky shit but I remember thinking it was the dopest thing ever that you made a character from the web browser.

Ultima online, I played FFXI for a couple months but got bored of how slow it was, and how racist japs were since you weren't allowed to choose your server at the time and I got thrown in a like 90% japan server.
I never played WoW until mists, funnily enough. I loved it, but ended up getting some BiS stuff and feeling "done" with it. Sold a couple mythic runs, dumped all my gold, paid rent for a few months and haven't looked back. MMOs just don't do it for me anymore for whatever reason.

Anyway, yeah, my childhood was like 99% UO. I was braindead and didn't play it well at all, and didn't understand the skill system or really anything, but I still loved playing with other people. The only reason I even played it was cause my dad had an account and played it loads, so I just bummed off his.

Most of these MMOs were F2P garbage for poor people. All it did was split up the MMO community. WoW brought us together and unified our forces.

ffxi
city of heroes

Ragnarok Online

holy shit, WoW will NEVER have as good a musics as that fucking game did.

koreans have some god tier composers amidst them. Shit on nexon all you want, they still put out jams on all their games.

I miss it

>how racist japs were
Never experienced this. They were some of the nicest players I encountered. Had one help me with a quest I was trying to do for a week straight that none of my LS would help me with. He hung around for hours trying to to get the item I needed. Also remember random jap players coming by and resing me when I died.

Lots of RuneScape. I also played Diablo II exclusively on closed BNet, it wasn't an MMORPG, more like an MORPG if such a thing exists, but it was almost exclusively played with other people.

Asheron's Call.

And then everyone quit to play WoW and so did I because I felt lonely.

Everquest.

Based. Asheron's Call was the objectively best MMO.

Morningthaw here.

Dark Age of Camelot

I loved this game, too bad it was completely p2w

I can't believe that they shut it off.

The world lost something irreplaceable on that. It should be illegal to turn a game off.

And there's a reason for that

Runescape

I couldn't believe how huge the world felt compared to UO and EQ when I started playing. Granted, it was pretty empty, but still blown away at the time.

I posted on the IGN boards a ton. I had like 20,000 posts or some bullshit. Thinking about it makes me really appreciate anonymous indonesian basketweaving corkboards like this one, as much shit as it can be at times. It's way better than post count popularity contests

If classic is shit I’ve literally lost all hope for multiplayer video games.
There’s nothing left.
