How Old Are You in MMO Years?

[Airinya]

Lets see - I used to play some text based MMOs in AOL chat rooms back in the day, but as I don't remember the actual dates for those I'll let it go!

My first MMO "game" was Everquest Online Adventures for the PS2. The game was released in 2003. I've sinced played:

EQ2
City of Heroes
Final Fantasy XI
Guild Wars
World of Warcraft
Fiesta Online
Age of Conan
Aion
Star Trek Online
Rift

There are probably others in there I've forgotten, but you get the drift! Nerd to the core.

MMO's specifically about 6 years.
Gaming career total about 16 years.

Zzzz.

[Catierina]

I think about 8 years... Played almost every MMO including some very pathetic ones XD

Btw... I'm a good healer and looking for a good defiant guild to raid on after transfers are available... Been searching the shards forums but not much luck finding out what guilds are actually about. (I play from 7pm-midnight GMT-3)

[Exxyy]

Wow (6 years)
Rift ( dont think I'll change for quite a while )
Cuz Rift is close to perfection of a perfect mmo in my crazy creative mind,

So, Kudo's to Trion,

Rift is more than legendary,
Rift is Transcendant

Sincerly, Exxy

Mostly with Lineage 2 and Guildwars...
and well ... now Rift...

Hah, no motor city online ?! heh the main reason i got addicted to UO, and not just a fan, was because my college roommate played MCO until it closed and they gave him a free account for UO, and the addiction was born.

EQ, AC, AC2, DAoC, UO, FFXI, CoH/CoV, Shattered Galaxy, Infantry Online, EVE, Lineage 2, GW, DDO, LOTRO, Warhammer, FFXIV, Very brief stint in WoW, Ragnarock Online (RO), Champions, Rift

Played tons of F2P games as well like Kingdom Heroes, Perfect World, Megaten (Shin Megami Tensei), Runes of Magic, Aika, maple story, runescape, mabinogi, last chaos, shaiya, dynasti warriors, FLYFF, Iris, Rappelz, Luna online.. well I could keep going but I wont lol

[Gracklewolf]

I played many multi-player MUDs before I got into MMO's, but starting in 1999:

Lineage 1999
Everquest 1999 - 2001
Anarchy Online 2001 - 2003 (my first launch, it was painful *and* fun)
Dark Age of Camelot 2001 - 2002
Final Fantasy XI 2002 (bleh, could only take a couple of months of this one)
Earth and Beyond 2002 - 2003 (loved it. wish it hadn't folded)
Asheron's Call 2002 - 2003
Shadowbane 2003 - 2005 (my first real taste of mmopvp; hooked ever since)
EVE Online 2003 - 2008
Star Wars Galaxies 2003 (so disappointing)
Horizons 2003
Lineage II 2004
City of Heroes 2004 - 2010 (love the comic book mmo)
World of Warcraft 2004 - 2010 (love/hate relationship)
Everquest II 2005 (meh)
City of Villains 2005 - 2010 (EE-viLL, like the FRU-its of the de-VEEL)
Dungeons and Dragons Online 2006 (bleh)
Auto Assault 2006 - 2007 (another one I loved that fell down went boom)
Lord of the Rings Online 2007 -2009
Tabula Rasa 2007 (when the hell are they going to get a sci-fi MMO right!!!)
Age of Conan 2008 (another love/hate)
Warhammer Online 2008
Champions Online 2009 (CoX much better)
Aion 2009 (the beginning of the "dark times")
Fallen Earth 2009 - 2010 (still not quite right)
Global Agenda 2010 (fun, but I'm not sure this is an MMO...)
Star Trek Online 2010 (could not be more pissed off as a TOS trekkie)
Rift 2011 (that's more like it)

You'd think after all this I wouldn't fall for the "shiney" launch hype every single time...

[Macespec]

I started playing World of Warcraft 6 months ago. I quit it 1 month ago and just started playing Rift. Generic at its best

Neverwinter Nights was definitely an MMO. Not 3D, but it meets the standard requirements.
