[General Discussion] Best/First Online Game you ever played.

I started with EverQuest and played that for about 5 1/2 years, then moved onto RO for a little while (I was in open beta) then when WOW released I played that up until this past month when I quit for good. I also dabbled in Diablo 1 and 2 and some EQ2, but nothing was too exciting about those.

EQ1 though while Verant had control of it was absolute magic, the game world was massive and literally nothing was handed right to you at the beginning of the game like it is with so many games now. No maps, no automatic tradeskills, no flight paths to get where you want. It was just a clusterfuck of adventure and exploration. Once SOE took it over (and most of Verant left) just after the Velious expansion, most of it all turned to shit.

I will be playing Phantasy Star Universe when it releases, hopefully it will be enough to capture my attention for a while. I loathe even considering going back to WOW at this point, and would even play EQ1 again on a emulated + progression server than go back there.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
