Your first MMO - Kid's first MMO, your first MMo exprince

Grand Chase before it shut down, but now there's a classic release on Steam. Can't wait to get demolished by Brazilians in PvP like the good old days :semperfidelis:
 
Flyff, unfortunately. Super grindy MMO, and while I never made it past level 70~ on any character because of how fucked the grind was and bevause I never bought EXP scrolls, it helped babby me get through rough times and the OST is still great.

It was reeeeally old shit, i member in 2004 an ad about sending the publisher (LevelUp) at the time a e-mail so they'd send you a CD-ROM:

Credits, this shit was in 2004 and i was a kid, no way in hell i would keep that CD intact.

it was a Habbo reskin (a licensed one) except with some cool extra shit in the game, like a music creator that you could play in other peoples rooms, and for every thumbs up you'd get in game currency to buy shit with. There were crossovers with Batman Begins, American Idol, Star Wars Episode 3, really cool stuff

Shut down in 2007 or so, but it was one of my favorite things in the world back then

I thought Flyff was pretty cool when I played it but I only got up to level 20. My first MMO was Phantasy Star online for GameCube but since we only had one land line connection I could almost never play.

Thats how they get you, the ability to fly (which was novel back then) unlocked at level 20 and the levelling speed was pretty fast from 1-26, but once you get to the middle of Saint Morning with the Jackolantern dudes, the EXP gain slows to a crawl and there aren't enough quests to make up for it, with most of the "get X amount of monster drop" quests only giving you 20% of a level at the level the quest unlocks. Plus when you get to level 60 and change classes, the penguin buffer NPC says to piss off, and unless you had contact with a Ringmaster (healer/buffer/EXP gain boost) class you were pretty much fucked.

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.

They addressed this by saying that if there are restrictions to the mounts, people won't use them so they said "fuck it, if anyone asks, it's magic".
 
Played a few MMOs in internet cafes in early 2000s. MU online, Ragnarok, Runescape and Tibia. Don't remember which one was first but I played Tibia the most as it was pretty big in Poland. It was even all over the news when some autist beat his mother with a chair for switching off his PC when he was playing. I jumped to WoW around 2006.
 
I don't remember exactly, but my first was either Roblox or Wizard 101.
 
World of Warships.

Decent when I started playing it, but I can't imagine starting from scrap now since the lower level game balance is so fucked nowadays.

For me I believe Maple Story was the first MMO I dipped my toes into when I was in high school or middle school. The first MMO I took "seriously" was World of Warcraft and that was kind of near the end of high school or a little while after I graduated.
