How many mmo games did you play before eso?

Armatesz

As title says, I am curious how many of us have played mmo games before eso.

Also this applies to mmo games before you started playing eso, but can discuss mmo games you played while playing eso and games you use for a sort of break in between. Has to be an mmo, doesn't matter if you play with others on it or not.

I am playing two other MMOs - both are unlike the typical MMO genre though. One is EVE, which has a really good combat system, where your character's abilities and that of your ship count and not your real world abilities. The other is a social oriented MMO, which is not a game at all, but a virtual world - Second Life.

Edit: Well, this said, in both your need really good social skills to get along, so it is not really for youngsters, but for a more mature audience. Both are as well highly complex and require some patience and life experience.

Star Trek Online. I still play it. Prolly the most solo and noob friendly MMO out there with extremely polite community. Almost zero toxity on forums. A bit too much politics in /zone from time to time tho.

Yes, 9.
15-20 if you include the Korean ones.

Every single one I stopped playing, not as a result of boredom, but rather players coming from other ones and DEMANDING that they be the same thing they just left. Eventually the devs listen, and then the game becomes redundant.

Oh geez,then I have actually played a typical MMO as well - ArcheAge - I forgot about that.

GW2 was the most comprehensively destroyed, I joined in on that for the beta, and watched them betray every single design principle before finally writing it off.

i never played an MMO before and since 2002 I only played Elder Srolls games; Morrowind ; Oblivion, then the free Daggerfaal and Arena downloads from the Bethesda website and finally Skyrim. I say finally because i will probably not play ES VI and I will certainly not play any other MMO. I love ESO theres more to do than i can ever do.

(would like some more 4 person dungeons / 4 person trials and another one person trial though...)

Caran

Uh ... Dark Age of Camelot, Everquest 2 on release and later, World of Warcraft, Lord of the Rings online, Age of Conan, Star Wars (the old one) and Start Wars Old Republic, Rift ... and some others not really worth mentioning.

Azurya

WoW, Metin2, Star Wars-TOR, Guildwars, and a few more koreans/fareastern

jedtb16_ESO

at least a dozen... not including maybe a dozen more korean grinders.

leaving aside eso most recent secret world, lotro and swtor.

PouletRico

GW1 (still my favorite), Dofus, WoW, The Secret World, GW2

Jameliel

Playing since UO. Don't feel like listing all. My favorites have been UO, original Runescape, Dungeons&Dragons Online, Vanguard Saga of Heroes, Age of Conan with its first director. Dungeon Runners, EQ1. DDO by far had the best quests/dungeons, character creation, skills and loot.

Tarrocan

I started with teso and it will end with teso

I wish I could say I know how many mmo games I've played... I used to do beta testing for various game companies and majority of them were mmo games. I don't think I can actually count them. Reason behind why I got requested to do testing likely had something to do with the internet provider I had at the time... century link, they were so horrible, hear they still are but that is besides the point. Anyways the speeds I got from there were below capabilities to play a 3 minute youtube video within an hour. Yeah it took a long time for just one 3 minute youtube video to load up and it was not even that high of quality.

Olen_Mikko

Eso was my first

MUDs do not really fulfill the requirement of the first M in MMO though - I played a few, at most around 100 characters concurrently, but most of the time far less than that. A few of those are still going strong, even to this day.

Armatesz

I wonder how many used to play forsaken world back in the day.

Beardimus

First MMORPG

fioskal

ESO was my first MMO.

I've dabbled a little in games such as SWTOR, FFXIV, and BDO since, but I always come back to ESO. I just can't stay away.

Eeri_Ravencaw

I used to play Runescape long time ago, then GW1.
