Stones is also a huge favorite of mine, it really encapsulates the good sides of being young and brings back that joy of just trying things out. I think that's common for most Ultima fans considering the 'remaster' of Ultima Online original style started with Stones and no lie it almost got me. More or less had to remind myself they're just nostalgia baiting and it wouldn't be the same.
Very tempting though, I'm sure I've forgotten more about UO than I remember. Chances are a lot of it at the time was bad and its even worse now.

Barda Online.
Its an obscure danish mmorpg that ran for about a year in conjunction with a tv show. gameplay was kinda like a worse diablo but i enjoyed it while it lasted.
I still get nostalgic about the game but it was shut down and no attempts at contacting the devs for code to host a private server have been answered. Even a change.org petition with a whopping 131 signatures got ignored.
Still have the memories tho.

Maplestory. It was during the time grinding was a slogfest and people trolled your trips in the airship by releasing their captured Balrogs into the hull and slaughter everybody inside. It was baby's first grindfest for me, and I remember spending a lot of money just getting pixelated outfits.
Considering what I play nowadays, I think it prepared me well. It makes me miss old school MS a lot though : the soundtrack has a very warm, reserved place in my heart.

Another runescape player here. Quit before EoC came in. Rejoined for about 6 months after a friend convinced me to try it again on his dime.
Can confirm. OG runescape was the shit. Now it's just shit and practically a verboten topic for me. Current developers and community need murdering (in Minecraft of course)
If anything though. I've met some decent people on there over the years and some of em I'm still friends with em to this day.
Just seriously feelsbadman that it's a fucking trash heap after they sold out to the Chinese.
Funnily enough, was thinking of trying it again because I need something to occupy me during this covid shit. But I'm not willing to sink money into a dead MMO I now hate.

Runescape was also my first MMO though, to me at least, it was always shit. Classic was horrible, RS3 has become better over time (if you ignore all the P2W content) but not by much. OSRS is just shit.
People seem to think that old Runescape was great but in reality the Gower Bros. just made another braindead imitation of WoW. I'm pretty sure it got popular because it could be run in a toaster and part of it was free but people like to pretend that fishing, woodcutting or slayer were good game design somehow.

I'll just put me thinking how good it was back then down to me being a dumb kid.
I look at it now and think... "how the fuck did I play this shit for so long?"

It has good production values and i've learned how to play many of the songs on my piano, many of them have amazing compositions, it's a game that i don't like now but i don't regret playing when i was a dumb kid.
No way i'd spend 1000 hours just to see some progress by chopping logs nowadays though.

City of Heroes was mine.
Looking back it wasn't a particularly good game, but it had a lot of charm and child-me had a ton of fun making costumes. They added more content overtime, and I had a lot of fun with its standalone/expansion City of Villians as well.
But one faithful day there was an ad for WoW on the City of Heroes website- I clicked it and lost over a decade of my life.

The old MS logo reminded me of the stupid font change that they did to it. I remembered it was a silly reason, I think it was Nexon not having the copyright to use the original font, and thus had to change it to this abomination:

Was flying a deal breaker? That exists in XIV too. I've heard arguments about how WoW flying was immersion breaking.

The deal breaker was everyone being very anti-social in an MMO plus the constant grind and money grabbing of Blizzard ofcourse.
I haven't heard anything about WoW's flying being immersion breaking tho, hell if any flying is immersion breaking its ffxiv.
You can ride a flying (undead if you read the lore) fat cat and nobody bats an eye.
I believe ffxiv gets away with it due to its world already being quite bizarre.
FFXIV might be infested by all kind of cancer the internet has to offer but nobody takes each other that seriously which is some kind of strange chemistry with people trying to fuck around and joke with rando's online which I used to do in Vanilla.
Limsa lominsa, one of the capitals in game, is always alive, always active, and its always people talking to each other in public chat which you can join in at any time.
While WoW's just the most bland people you can get. You either get
A) someone who cant speak english
B) very angry retard
C) quiet guy who doesnt say a word
D) a very dry and unresponsive person.
Even the capitals in WoW are just barren, with nobody talking at all, its almost if your playing a singleplayer game. Orgrimarr in modern wow is just barren.
The only good moments I had with wow was when i was not playing retail, but classic private servers.
I would make taxi's with two other guild members by using summoning circles and mage portals and was playing chess with the guild owner while waiting for my other guildies to travel to a dungeon.
And now I do the same thing with FFXIV, just having fun experiences with people in a digital fantasy world and making memories like I had back then.
Retail WoW should just remove the MM from their MMORPG all together at the state its in right now.

I kind of played Everquest and Wow back when they first came out, but my first real addiction came with Star Wars Galaxies. Holy hell I had so much fun there. At least until the CU hit... Like everyone else it dawned on me that times were changing and when the NGE hit I was done. Losing my favorite combat class (Creature Handler) right after the Trials of Obi-Wan expansion which gave you a pre-order bonus of a +5 CH accessory was the biggest fuck you a game could do.
I check out the EMU from time to time, but it's not the same.

I was usually broke as an adolescent so I played a bunch of ftp Korean grindfests. I think Knight Online was the first, but I played a bunch of them: Rappelz, Shaiya, Aion, Forsaken World, Lineage 2.

The original Runescape, but the first MMO I really got into was a game called "Endless Online". It is/was a shitty anime game where you use the goddamn arrow keys to move around an isometric view and control to attack. For almost 4 years most of the equipment in game didn't have stats so everything was based off character stats, and it was a grind to play. At one point someone literally made a hack that would flood the clients character limit and crash anyone not using the hack, mostly by using a string of W's. I mostly played it to just BS with my friends that I made on it.. That and it was about the only MMO I could still play on dial up in 2007.

One of my absolute favourites. And still a decent looking game. I went back a few years and I still like the style of the characters and world. GW2 was just too much despite also being quite pretty and somewhat interesting. I tried and even had help from a friend to guide me through the first levels but the sheer amount of...too much overwhelmed me and I kinda just dropped it. It's a shame because GW was fairly straight forward.
My first MMO was Asheron's Call. Probably dating myself quite a bit with that one.
