MMOs have a special place in our hearts. Especially our first one. And it should come as no surprise that they shape our opinion of other MMOs going forward.
In this thread, we answer the following questions in a well worded paragraph or two.
1. What was the first MMO you stuck with? If it is obscure, describe it.
2. How did it have an impact on you?
3. Do you have any standout moments in memory? If so, what?
4. Do you still play this MMO? If not, why did you quit?
5. What kept you coming back to this MMO?
Just as an example, I come from the hideously crappy RF Online. Your typical Korean grindfest. But what it did have was good PVP. Almost all of the gear in the game was relatively easy to acquire(Save for like elementals or something) and the combat was VERY simplistic. So it required absolutely NO skill to play. And instead, it relied on tact. The PVP is what kept me coming back to the game. Despite all of the game's MANY flaws, the PVP was a lot of fun because it wasn't about being a hero. It was about working with the rest of your faction to win. Which shaped my views on MMOs to be more in favor of tact based combat rather than skill. However, I quit after CCR took over and finally ruined PVP with its pay to win free model.(Get this, they sold invincibility pills in the cash shop. I am so not even kidding)
I am far more interested in your MMO backgrounds. Please post them.
