I'm curious what other MMOGs you play still, even if just from time to time.

I still keep a presence in SWG, as some of you know, and Free Realms as well.

[Mizhara]

Don't have a presence in any other than Eve right now.

WoW: Played since closed Beta. Quit during Wrath. Got too stupid.
SWG: Tried it. Detested it. They've had quite a few years to fix the retarded animation issues and horrible UI.
Warhammer Online: Tried it, liked it, didn't have time for it.
Fallen Earth: Bitchin' universe. Wicked gameplay and stories. Again, didn't have time, sadly. A lot of potential.
Anarchy Online: Rocked hard when it first came out. Fell behind on the times.

And a few more, but can't remember them all, heheh.

Eh, not playing any others besides EVE now. I've been keeping an eye on APB though.

I tried seeing how SWG was after the NPE changes, but almost immediately disliked the combat changes. I played it for at least a year before quitting, though a lot of that towards the end was on the Test Server. May give the SWGEmu another shot at some point, as that looks promising. I still maintain that if some tweaking was done to doctor buffs and armor the old combat system would have been workable. Also less insta-Jedis.

Played WAR for a couple months with my brothers and a friend, it was fun. Main issue was population imbalances and trouble finding good fights (we liked to roll alone, just the 3-5 of us).

I've occasionally checked back into WoW (not since early in WotLK now), but personally I couldn't play both EVE and WoW without having absolutely no time left. The casual thing doesn't interest me at all.

These days when I'm not playing EVE I focus on non-MMOs. Battlefield Bad Company 2 and League of Legends are what I play more often than not now.

Progress Quest...

Planning to pre-order APB myself.

[Silver Night]

I was playing E&B when I heard about Eve. Someone said something about a game that was coming out that was Sci-Fi but grittier.

Played several other MMOs briefly, but so far Eve is the only one that has held my interest.

[Goshien]

Did a long stint in Wow, getting several characters to high heights. Done with that game, will likely never return.

WAR tried for a short while, couldn't hold interest to long. Vanguard had some ideas, but it's a PvE game, and I'm a PvP kinda guy. Everquest 2 I'm kinda messing around with, but it is only to stave off boredom. Fallen Earth had the idea, but fell on execution, as so many games do. All MMO's have more rooms to improve then a normal game does, but now that the developer has shut down it's fate is sealed.

The idea of a shooter mmo always gets me, but not seen anyone pull it off yet.

EVE was love at first sight, she's the one and only and death will do us part 

[lallara zhuul]

Some MUDs, WoW for a while, CoV, EVE, Warhammer, Puzzle Pirates, FF, couple of others that I have probably forgotten all about.

RvR was pretty good in Warhammer.
WoW was nice fluff.
Puzzle Pirates was jolly good casual gaming.
CoV was a hoot storytellingwise and of course avatar tweakingwise.
FF had a nice pace of things.
EVE, basically an IRC client with nice graphics nowadays.
The game is pretty much crap.

[Kaldor Mintat]

Not really played any before Eve. Tested WoW a few times at a friends place but did not find it interesting.

Main reason i never did though was i feared it would suck up alot of time. Oh boy, wasi right on that one...... 

[Esna Pitoojee]

Aside from EVE, I causally played a free-to-play called RF Online for a while. It wasn't great, but I'd place it on par with World of Warcraft in terms of graphics/mechanics, not bad for a free-to-play. Suffered from a number of things, including terribad Korean-to-English translation, a serious issue with illegal bots, and an inability to advance in any way aside from grinding mobs (PvP didn't really become a possibility until you were level 30 on a 0-to-50 level scale). But hey, it was free, and often fun to hop in my giant robot-cyborg-warrior dude, grab the giant rocket launcher turret he had, and start chucking nuclear missiles at the elf player hordes.

I played WoW for a good two and a half years before I got tired of it. The gameplay quickly became stale, but the RP community, even though it was great fun at times, was what eventually drove me away. I couldn't stand the repetition of ideas, plots, characters, etc.

[Ghost Hunter]

After EVE, I believe I went to Planetside and City of Heroes at the same time.

I quit Planetside after the game's balance went down hill when they introduced the Craven system. I shudder at what those super mechs apparently do.

City of Heroes has been a love hate relationship. I usually come back when new content is out and hook up with the two supergroups who I was in regular touch with. I'll probably be going back to it when the new graphic update comes out.

Somewhere in that time I followed some friends to Silkroad Online. Fun game but the grind was so terrible it made grinding in City of Heroes look like reading a dirty novel. Quit that haven't gone back yet.

Tried the trial for WoW, quit after the first day when I realized Silkroad had better graphics.

X number of slaves freed, anyone?

X number of slaves freed, anyone? 

It was worse than that. Every new RP guild on my old server was either a remake of another guild's "glory days" or a desperate attempt at digging up something new from upcoming patch/expansion content. Players made their characters change in a continuous loop, contriving anything just to give themselves an excuse to dress in a different color scheme or tabard. The character-driven aspect of WoW RP pretty much dwindled to nothing.
