I played FFXI for about 2 weeks, got to level 14 or 15 I believe and quit. Too much of a group-based grindfest.
I also played WoW for a steady 2 years. I played from release till about December '06 daily. It is my favorite game ever but my guild broke up and reformed when BC came out. I didn't feel like leveling 1-60 again and then to 70.
I played Vanguard during beta and for about a month. Again, too much of a grindfest and you mostly had to group for everything (depending on class).
I also played Planetside and World War II Online. Planetside I only played for about a month but it seems I always go back to it for a week here and there. It has such great ideas, they were just not implemented right. Same with WWII Online although I played this game for about a year on and off. For a few months I played every day with this squad (clan) I joined. They were such great guys and veterans to the game ( I started playing about 2 years after release). They made the game so much fun and thats what makes MMO's so good, the community and people you play with. I hope they make an updated version of WWII Online updating mostly the graphics so it can pick up more subscribers. It is easily one of my favorite games because of the ideas it has. The gameplay is also showing its age (came out in 01) so I wouldn't mind an upgrade there too. It seems since these two games were released there hasn't been any newer MMOFPS games coming out until Huxley and some other futuristic one. I really hope developers go back and see how good a newer MMOFPS based on WWII can be.
Henda, don't make fun of WoW because you are legally retarded.
