So I was going through my computer, checking into some of my old documents, when I ran into this old post I apparently wrote down but never actually posted (little known fact, I used to write my posts in notepad before actually posting them so I could 'refine' them down...now I just edit the hell out of everything ;P).  Anyway, after updating it to be current, I decided to post it.

-------------------

Ever play a Massively Multiplayer Online Game?

Just recently I was reading some discussions about various MMOs and how they played compared to other games.  It was from this discussion that I started to ponder, on my own, how many MMOs I have actually played over the years...then I decided to list them down to keep my head straight.

Basically, this blog is just a list of MMO's I've played or am currently playing.  Feel free to discuss anything about them or maybe start a discussion about MMO's in general.  Maybe we were playing or have played the same MMO and didn't even know it ;P

List ordered by activity (most recently played/active at the top, going back in time as you read down)

Lord of the Rings Online - Shadow of Angmar (Mines of Moria)
Wurm Online (so tempted to get back into this one)
Rohan Online: Blood Feud
Richard Garriott's Tabula Rasa*
EVE Online
World of Warcraft (Burning Crusade)
Dofus
Space Cowboy Online*
Fly For Fun (FlyFF)
Guild Wars (Prophesies, Factions, Nightfall, Eye of the North)
ROSE Online
Runescape (Classic and 3D Remake)
Rivers of Mud* (ROM)
Asheron's Call
Gemstone III* Wiki to Gemstone IV...can't fine anything on III anymore...
--unknown-- (there is actually an mmo I played before the one above, but I can't recall it's name)

Some MMOs I played through trials or just checking them out.  City of Heroes I remember playing three times using trials before finally giving up...no-one else seemed interested in joining ;P.  And an MMO is boring as hell if you don't have friends to tag along.

Trials or Testing Only
Runes of Magic
Florensia
Dungeon Runners
City of Heroes
Auto Assault* Wiki

And of course, lastly, my list of MMOs I plan to check out.  Mythos reminds me a lot of Diablo, Wakfu is the sequel to Dofus and Aion just sounds interesting.  Jumpgate Evolution sounds like what I wanted EVE Online to be...

Plan to Check at some point
Jumpgate Evolution
Aion
Wakfu
Mythos** Wiki

*The servers to these games have been or will be shutdown
**Development has frozen
Bold are my active MMO's


------------------

I also ran into a list of all games I have ever played......which is still far from complete, so I'll save that for another time ;P.

Lastly, since I'm sure some people will be curious on just how many MMOs there are out there, here is a good starting list:  http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/show/all/sCol/rankHype/sOrder/desc
