To many really, as I've tried out all sorts of MMORPGs over my time, even regret buying some of them (cause they ended up being horrible), but I'll list the ones that made an impact on me and/or I sometimes return to.

Also these are in no exact order, but EverQuest was my first MMORPG and I started Final Fantasy XI during CoP (and I have every disc leading all the way to Wings of The Goddess).

EverQuest
Final Fantasy XI
Horizons/Istaria
City Of Heroes/Villains
Eve Online
RF Online
Star Wars Old Republic
Guild Wars 2
Elder Scrolls Online
Final Fantasy XIV

Oh boy, here we go.... in no particular order

Rappelz, WoW, Runescape, GW2, Black Desert, Blade and Soul, ArcheAge, Dragon Nest, Aura Kingdom, Tree of Savior, FF11, Gloria Victus, ESO, Rift, LotRO, EVE.

These are just the ones I remember, and most of them I didn't play for very long.

I love FF14 because I love the Final Fantasy theme, which is also why FF11 is one of my top favorites as well. I also enjoy the community. I've made a lot of good friends playing this game.

I played Ragnarok Online for about 3 years during college and maybe 2 years after college with a bunch of friends I had made during my tenure there. It wasn't done with the official servers and mostly on various private ones. After that, I went on to play Guild Wars 2 when it was released for about a year or so off and on.

Waaaaay before private RO servers though, I played vanilla Guild Wars before I even graduated high school.

XIV though is probably the longest running MMO I've ever played with going into 5 years now or better.

[TaleraRistain]

EverQuest
Dark Age of Camelot
Asheron's Call
EverQuest II
World of Warcraft
Star Wars Galaxies
Vanguard
City of Heroes/Villains
Champions Online
Star Trek Online
FFXIV
and one or two I'm probably forgetting

Most of those games don't let you play more than one class. So I had an army of alts. Although even here you can only play 3 crafting classes since they limited specialists. Games like SWG and EQII have far superior crafting systems, too, because they weren't as heavily reliant on RNG as this game is. Most games don't have something like the MSQ where everyone follows the same base story and must group up to pass certain points. So there was definitely more of a separation between solo, group, and raid playstyles. This game is far more accessible than many MMO predecessors. I don't find that a bad thing, having come from hardcore raiding in EQ where raiding was basically your life. I am much happier to partake of what I want to partake of and ignore what I wish to ignore, but still be able to stay current enough to tackle new content and not fall behind.

Started with FFXI and played that game for years. I've played a bit of WoW, Secret World, Wakfu, TERA, Age of Conan and BDO, but none ever grabbed me like FFXI until FFXIV (ARR) came along.

With XI as my first mmo, I took it as a given that an MMO should have a great story, but apparently I was way off base because most MMO stories suck! FFXIV is the only MMO that's had the visual design, music and especially writing that I've been missing since quitting FFXI.

[Ilenya]

Hmm. Runescape, City of Heroes, touched in a number of random MMOs I barely remember, FFXI (Which I still want to finish the story in), FFXIV obviously...AQWorlds, I suppose?

I've never been big on the grindfest idea of games, so I can't say that much in regards to FFXIV. It's certainly my favorite of the current MMOs I've touched, mostly because of the story and general fun, but I'll be honest, I'd hop right back into City of Heroes given half the chance.

[Starkbeaumont]

started with ff11

switched to 14 1.0.

a bit wow (never made it past lv43)
a bit aion
rift
guild wars 2
a bit tera (imo the best non-SE mmo)

stayed at ff14 cause

- it's final fantasy
- controls are great
- graphics are good
- gameplay is engaging
- i can still enjoy it even though my play time is much lower now than it used to be

[RitsukoSonoda]

yeah knew I missed quite a few lol I tend to atleast try out most MMO that seem interesting

Some I missed that were mentioned.
Rift
Star Trek Online
Eden Eternal
FlyFF

Some that came to mind later
Shaiya
Dynasty Warriors Online
Wildstar
Defiance
Rose Online
Darkspore (not sure if you count this as mmo but it was online only and had character development though it was a collection of characters and not ones you built from scratch if I remember right)
Front Mission Online

Definitely still more on this list XD

[Sentaryuu]

I have played a little of quite a few, lots of small browser MMOs that I won't mention, and there are some I do not remember.

Eden Eternal
Grand Fantasia (probably my first MMO)
Aura Kingdom (did make it to lv50)
Dragon Nest
Tera
Digimon Masters Online
And of course FFXIV

These are all I can remember and other MMOs I never made it to endgame. FFXIV is probably the easiest MMO to make it to endgame and another I thing I like about it is the wide variety of mounts you can collect without spending real money.
