My first MMORPG was Everquest, quit cause of crap CS after 4 or 5 years, beta'd. Made level 70 and 700ish AA's on the ranger with the same name.
Earth and beyond, beta'd it, played it off and on till the end.
Planetside, still have a subscription, play it when I need something that doesn't require thinking. I also love spamming "Tired of the same old ****? Give EvE a try, www.eve-online.com. Must be able to think while playing."
Matrix online, beta'd it, didn't like the combat/pvp system.
Beta'd Lineage 2, fun game, but the mix mach of eastern and western playstyles turned me off to the game.
The next MMORPG I try will be Star Trek Online.

Eve was the first and still main MMO I play (I see it as Elite was destined to be).
I still play planetside (Werner - TrooperRho) when I just want some instant action but the games only a shadow of what it used to be. BFRs looked very promising but ultimatly they screwed up the game balance in a huge way.
Also dabbled in Guild Wars for a while with some mates, we were doing well and having some fun until I couldn't play for a month due to moving house. When I came back everyone had drifted away and the game just wasn't as fun since then.

Anarchy online - best pvp sistem i still get back to it from time to time, you can make twinks, it has a pvp level range meaning that you cant beat up with you maxed level a lvl 1 noob even if hes flagged
Guilwars - didnt play it, i watched a friend and i get the feeling of a verry colorful diablo multi instanced game.
WoW - nice i'd like to try it but the lack of time prevents me from doing so , i'm a verrry big fan of blizzard and i like the candy looking graphycs(its about tastes so dont judge)
Lineage2 - after 3 months and a lvl 53 daggerist grinding and hacking my way through thousands of script farmers i quit with a bad taste in my mouth, game practicly never lets you get along by yourself and after lvl 20 you are nothing if you dont ebay or have really high friends who dont get too good on their own either but have some leftovers to give you. I mean i couldnt belive when i saw a lvl 70 party who got the same ammount of
gold from the mobs as i did at 40, and that is wrong.
EVE - best MMO i played so far for the simple reason that you cand do whatever you like knowing you can :) the part of END GAME never exists which is good , mass pvp is awesome though ccp could make something about the laggs that occur in fleet battles.
Overall EVE has good PVE, awesome Mass PVP, but lacks the solo pvp part which is not intended here, face it most of pvp can be translated as playerS versus player.

First mmo was runescape which was crap, just makes me sick now. Second was planetside, that game rocked, dont know why i stoped playing it (now i think of the fun i had sniping entire base spawns with a sniper i mite just re-install it).
The third mmo is eve online, been playing for a year and am still totally addicted to it, i have seen it go from strength to strength and hope to see the population double very soon when tv adverts for it get going and kali comes out with those sweet graphics we have all been waiting for.
Currently waiting to test out huxley when it gets released. For those that dont know huxley is like planetside but on major steroids, it runs on the upcoming unreal 3 engine, hope this game doesnt steal me away from eve hehe

Started my first trip into the MMORPG world with a large MUD :p
www.retromud.org Spent over a year playing that game.. obviously not for everyone, being a text based mmorpg.. great fun none the less.. theres people who have played for years and years, and are spending weeks preparing for big raids.. little too hardcore for me..
After quitting retro, I joined Everquest 2, was interesting for a while, but it really was the nails in the coffin as far as any other fantasy mmorpg was concerned.. after 6 months of EQ2, about 5 hours was as much as I was willing to spend on WOW etc..
Found EvE, after following a URL from the EQ2 bbs, noticed a post about some noob, talking about how he spend 3 months saving for a battleship, only to loose it to some gate rats.. that had me intrigued..
I subscribed, finished the tutorial, dispite the bugs, and "wtf do i do now" moments.. stayed.. Been playing since around Feb, 2005.. All I can say for certain is.. there is not another MMOG on the market presently worth my monthly fee.

WWIIOL - great game, havent unsubbed
World of Warcraft - boring
Dark Age of Camelot - boring, though still subbed since my friends game there
Everquest - boring though I enjoyed playing my merchant Elleron at Kellethin hawking game wares to people all the time. It was different and beat the system by letting my noob have uber gear he could never win in battle, though I didnt fight him much. Merchanting was better. Got dull though.
Aces High - Good Game. But I heard about WWIIOL which didnt have the limitations AH did, so off I went.
Ultima Online - great game in many respects as it was new. But my buddies moved to Ever***** and I went with em.
Air Warrior - first MMO, good game. It went down the tube and I went to Aces High.
Shadowbane, Earth and Beyond, Horizons, etc - all so boring and bad I left in my free trial period.

I started out playing RuneScape (yes, I know, I'm sad), I quit after it all got to boring and the chats got filled with flaming and scamming *****s 24/7.
During the time I played RS, I also got my hands on Guild Wars, but it got boring and repetative after a few months, so I quit.
After that, I went back to RS till december 2005 when I decided to try out EVE. After the trail was almost at an end I said bye bye to RS and payed for EVE. I did take a small break from EVE when I was first playing it 3-4 months, but that was due to lack of time. Now I play it allmost full-time again, but work eats time too.
All in all, EVE is about the best MMO I've played so far, not only because it looks good and it's all worked out nicely, but because the community is more mature and thus more helpfull (and this comes from a 17 year old  ).

First MMOG I played was Motor City Online. I enjoyed it (and so did my brother and stepbrother, as they set up characters in my account), being a car nut after all. Lag was a problem, though (although it may have just been the crappy computer I had then). And most of the players raced on the noob track, which meant I had to wait until peak hours to really do some good racing. However, the player base was more mature and intelligent than what I've heard about from other MMO's (WoW...), which was a big plus. I stayed with MCO until the end, when it suffered the same fate that Earth and Beyond (another game that interested me, but that my computer couldn't run) would later fall victim to (two words: Electronic Arts)
Back in March, I saw an ad for EvE while on ign.com. I clicked a link to the main page, read the background stuff, thought "Hey, this looks fun!", and got a 2-week trial. Haven't stopped playing since.

1) MUDS
I played on a MUD for about 2 years while I was in middle school. I quit because I exploited a bug for fun to crash the server while five other people were on. One of the admins deleted my character of about 1500 hours because I did that.
2) FFXI
I subscribed to FFXI for two or three months. At around lvl 25 it became a huge time sink to get levels. I essientially got bored of this game.
3) Planetside
Played on the free trial for a while. It was incredibly fun at times. But a complete lag fest at other times. I love fps style-mmo's but there was something very monotonous about Planetside.
4) SWG
Played the beta. When they released the game it was still a beta. This game had alot of cool innovative features, but it was just way to laggy and buggy.
5) Anarchy Online
Subscribed for two or three months. This game was the definition of grind. Randomly generated missions made me it feel like there was no plot or story. I got the feeling I would could level up to 300 but not a damn thing would change.
6) WoW
Tons of fun for the first few months. The game is really immersive and the world itself is interesting, exciting, and full of life. However, once I got to level 50, I would have to wait hours at a time to get a group going to do the high level instances. I quit at level 52 because I knew it would only get worse once I hit 60. I also would like to comment that there is something very addictive about the end-game content on WoW. I have a few family members and friends that are severely addicted to their raid schedule and I worry about them. I think the whole social aspect of the end-game content allows players to justify spending all of their free time because they feel like they are part of a community, even if that community is virtual. I tend to stay away from these games because I have been addicted to MMO's before and it really has held me back in terms of what I want to do in life.
I've been on EVE for about a month now. I like how I can still advance my character while I'm not playing, as I am very busy lately and don't have time to be a hardcore gamer. I enjoy doing mining ops and agent missions with my corp. But I'm already quite bored of doing that stuff on my own. I do realize, however, that there is much more to this game than what I've done so far so I'm willing to stick with it.

Earth and Beyond: I still want to go back, to be honest. Its one of those games that you just play some for fun, if anything. Its also the only game in history to make mining fun. I quit after just over a year because as a gimped Trader, it got a bit boring. I also ran out of time to play it.
It was great until I paid my 6mo subscription the day before they announcedit was going t1ts up.
I miss the crafting system...and getting famous on the server for building stuff. The way they handled gangs was great as well. CCP could learn a thing or two from that game...oh and freewarping. That was genius.

The same thing happened to me mate. It was really insulting how they offered to move you over to the sims online.

UO - I played for eight years. Actually, I quit right before I started playing EVE. I quit UO because EA ruined it. It was on the decline ever since Trammel was introduced; I just couldn't take it anymore  It was fun giving all my stuff away, though. I scored an official news article and interview on their website 
EQ - I played for about six months. I just lost interest in the game.
WoW - Played for four months. Quit when I got to 60 and my guild started having problems with looting during raids.
EVE - Just started playing a short time a go. I'm liking it so far and will stick with it as long as it remains interesting to me.

Ive played Knight Online for a month or so, then i quit cause it sucks.
Every tidbit about it sucks. The graphics, the gameplay, the grinding, the quests, the pvp, the servers, the players, everything.
...
Workers of the world! Lay down your carebearing-devices and stand up to face the firing squad!

Guild Wars sucks ass.
The worst offense? The total dependency on the freaking "monk" profession. Good luck ever getting a high-end group if you're not a baby-faced sissy with tattoos, or a hybrid of one.
Let's not forget the endless, ENDLESS "NEED MONK" spam in virtually every server.
