What game did you play before FFXIV and do you miss it?

I've played Ragnarok Online private servers before, and really enjoyed them. However, the ones I played are either gone or with a really small/struggling community now.. not enough incentive to go back. I actually transitioned from the last RO server to Ragnarok Online 2 when that came out. The initial release was a lot of fun, but the first expansion ruined the game for me. I played for awhile after, but it was too buggy/p2w/grindy. I left for FFXIV, and would not go back.

I do really like FFXIV, though, so there isn't any compelling reason for me to revisit other MMOs or search for a new one to play.

I miss WoW for, primarily, the Druid class. I loved playing that class so, so very much. So much so I actually had numerous characters of the same class just so I could level more of them. Really wish FF would get a shapeshifting class/job, I'd main that in a heartbeat assuming it were any good. Also miss the open world design of WoW. I have never cared for these very narrow and linear maps that are so very common in JRPGs (among others, like Biowares non-recent stuff).

Besides WoW, I miss the combat system, music, quest design (you actually got dialogue choices to add flavour!) and mostly the pvp from Age of Conan: Hyborean Adventures. World pvp in that game was so fun, and the areas in the game were really varied and often times beautiful (like the fields of Poitan or something like that).

FFXIV is my first MMORPG so there's nothing to miss, ahah.

SWTOR
I miss the instanced housing (strongholds), and the extremely alt-friendly (legacy) system a lot
But, on the whole, this game is much more better

I played The Secret World and WoW mostly. I went back to WoW for legion (briefly), but eventually left again. Don't really miss WoW, but I do miss TSW and have been dabbling the Secret World Legends recently. I love the lore, story and mission design in that game, which IMO, is still better than anything else in the MMO landscape.

I also play ESO a bit, but haven't gotten super far into it. I love these housing system, though.

How is legends? i've always like the idea of TSW but never got far in it, mostly cos i had no one to play with

Hmm did I play any before this, oh yeah, cod battlefield and hmmmm guess I'm not that big of a gamer lol

GW2 for the wardrobe and the way everything was stored as numerical value which make it less a pain to manage his inventory and glamour.
Mostly stopped because of the lack of end game content which FFXIv has given me, tho it started to lack of it too.
