While not strictly MMOs, combat flight simulators are one of the most immersive and heart pounding adrenaline rushes you can get in online play. Like nothing you'll get in a click the ship and watch what happens game like this one. I'd still be playing but I needed a dedicated rig for it. What with having to hook up a head tracker, joystick, throttle, rudder pedals, USB headset and 5.1 surround sound, it just became too much effort after a while. To start EVE I need to log in. To start up IL-2 Sturmovik took about 20 minutes. Then find who's on TeamSpeak. Then find another squad to battle. Then set up a server, sort out the rules for that battle, wait for the guy who's decided to go make a peanut butter sandwich, and finally line up on the airfield. I still miss it though. Mr Epeen 
I have a Flight Simulator - and even started in Elite background.
There was a 'sim' which was simply a blast in loosely modeled flying WW1 aircraft, called Flying Circus i believe that i truly started in MMO (it was claimed the first truly Massively Multiplayer Online Game - many are adding RPG to that as the first here, not so)
I then move dinto Warbirds and loved Dawn of Aces (WW1 sim - from the warbirds production team)
I moved back then and worked MUDS for a while - i was still stuck until Mid 2k on 56k modem here so had to choose wisely.
Then Eve...... which didnt work for ages and i lost my free 2 weeks but here i am, sorry about that.
Since then you name it - sandbox first, Arena second, random 1 level FPS next.
Nothing like taking you on and realising im pretty poor, then trying again anyway :)
In the flight sims (many go your way Mr Peen) id always have to wait for the guy that just got in and rmembered he had a cheesecake in the fridge..... eve has even gone this way once. Recurring theme.
