EVE-Online
Path of Exile
Ragnarok Online
Why yes, I am an excel wizard.
I forgot about PoE, but I don't count aRPG diablo esque games to be quite MMORPG (largely bc you can't completely ignore multiplayer besides trading)
Ragnarok Online
Fellow RO head.
LotusRO was my server back in the day.
I played RO's closed beta on the loki server, I think that was the official one for international players. Quit for a while. Came back on some random private server years later. Quit again. Today I play on Payon Stories and retail.
I'm an oldhead that stopped playing mmos around the time WOW got popular... so:
- Pristontale
- Ragnarok Online
- Runescape (classic)
Pristontale
TIL South Korea was really pumping out the mmos in the aughts, sadly most of them turned out to be poop.

The only mmo I've ever played was Toontown
Toontown
Any good? Never tried it but it looks cute.
All I remember is that I had fun, but I was like 12. I've been meaning to check out Toontown rewritten
Unfortunately the only traditional MMO I've put any significant time into is SWTOR - which I did enjoy playing as a singleplayer experience, or going through storylines in coop with a friend. The voice acting and storylines for the classes could be great, though there was a lot of variance in quality between them. Too bad it was held up by pretty mediocre gameplay.
I've played a little bit of FFXIV and while I believe what the fans tell me about it, going through early A Realm Reborn stuff was a boring slog which didn't compel me to play more.
If Warframe counts as an MMO then it's my favorite, ez.
LOTRO? Anyone at all?
Played it with my brother for a bit after launch, I think I stopped playing around when they added Forochel?
My main was a Human Champion
I tried a bit of it a looong time ago and I never got into it, I should try it again.
If you want someone to play with, just DM me. I can never find anyone else interested

in a few months i will have put 20 years of my life into world of warcraft, starting at age 7.
so idk what the best mmo is, but i can say with absolute certainty that its not WoW
- Old school RuneScape (or RuneScape 2)
- RuneScape (classic)
- RuneScape 3
ok but between MMOs i've played recently it's probably:
- OSRS
- Eve Online
- Albion Online
-
FFXIV. While it's been awhile, due to life circumstances, it will always hold a place in my heart.
-
Rift. I only started after it went F2P, but I had an absolute blast running around in that game. I still adore the Chloromancer/Stormblade as a class concept, running around whacking shit with my electric sword to heal back health.
-
Florensia. This one is probably a bit obscure, these days. It was a F2P MMO with an added focus on ship building and combat alongside your standard dungeon crawling and such. Cartoony graphics, grindy as hell, and where some early cracks probably started forming in my egg.
It's high up on my list, but I have to admit, it wasn't for the game itself. There was a community there like no other, one that I really felt like myself in. Every day, the same names, the same faces, most of us doing more chatting than anything else.
I just don't mesh with the overall vibe I get from XIV otherwise I'd give it a try on a trial account.
I dont think ive played 3 mmos total
Ff14
2007scape
- Guild Wars 2
- Dofus (retro) / Wakfu (basically the same)
- Path of Exile
Any other French/Spanish zoomer who skipped WoW because everyone played the Ankama MMOs?
I'm totally a casual tho I don't think I spent more than 60 hours on GW and PoE each
- Star Wars Galaxies (pre-CU/NGE)
- ???
- ???
spoiler
I am gonna be honest I bounced off of basically every other MMORPG after that. Really ruined the genre for me, especially playing that game's evolution into a F2P WoW-clone like many others in the genre. I had put hours into MANY others (and some very obscure ones, anyone here played Ryzom?) but didn't really stick with any for more than a trial month. Then I got into Dota...
Star Wars Galaxies (pre-CU/NGE)
I played on the Basalisk emulated server a couple years ago, classic SWG got me interested in Ultima Online since so much of it's inspiration was taken from that.
The EMU servers are great, I just don't have that kind of time to spend on games anymore.
In the OG, I played a Bounty Hunter / Carbineer / Ranger chasing down motherfuckers in the middle of nowhere and leading Krayt Dragon hunts. Back when hunting a jedi actually meant something because there was only like a dozen of them on any given server and they were all sweaty no-lifing weirdos.
I have yet to see any MMORPG with a more robust class or crafting system than OG galaxies.

I had a marksman too I think iirc, carbines or heavier blasters, I didn't make much progress at the time outside of just mucking around.
Now UO I have a house in. So my goal if I come back to SWG again is to get a house and fill it with stuff.

I've only played a handful. Let's see if I can rank them accurately by fondest memories:
- World of Warcraft
- Everquest
- Ultima online
Guild wars and the old Republic are the runner ups
1.FFXIV: the only mmo that actually grabbed me, and I tried a lot back in the day 2. Guild Wars 2 : fun open world, combat is refreshing but class fantasy doesn't hit the spot for me. Also have a lot of other small gripes with the game 2 Star Wars The Old Republic: dress up your own jedi game, can't speak for much else other than playing it feels like a dead game, specially on the Republic side.
I loved FFXIV although I last played it during Shadowbringers and I only got a touch through the MSQ there.
As a dad I just have zero time for daily login bonuses. If China ever bans them and it ripples through the industry in a way that makes MMOs quit doing that toxic shit I'd consider coming back, but these days I just don't have the time or energy.
The quests/story were very cool though, and all three roles were pretty fun to play, in the more casual content at least, never touched the really hard stuff, even back in the day I didn't have that amount of time to commit.

the only MMO I play regularly these days is OSRS, but I did like WoW when I used to play it. I tried playing it again a while ago but every public chat is just a giant klan rally so I had to turn it off.
Phantasy Star Online. I really wanna' try FF11 some day since I seem to like that era of MMORPG more than what's happened since. Would also like to try the SMT Imagine MMO someday if the private servers ever come back.

Now's a good time to try! There's private servers that replicate all different eras of the game from classic to modern retail. Or you could give retail a spin as there's a 2 week free trial. I used to play PSO too but only offline.
FFXIV, Guild Wars 1 and 2.
FFXIV the only one I still play. I own GW2 Secrets of the Obscure, but I dunno if I'll ever bother to play it.
