(If this is meant for OOPE, please move)
Just for fun, what have been your MMO games before EVE? This doesn't count multiplayer matches such as C&C Red Alert etc, I mean a "constant online world" kind of thing.
I'll fire the first volley. FFXI, WOW, GW, RIFT,SWTOR. Finally, EVE
Between that list, it is FFXI and EVE that I have really enjoyed. The rest have been ok. Although I must admit, I enjoyed SWTOR's Huttball matches 
I've tried a few others, like f2p etc, but I personally discount anything that didn't last a month
Why, thank you, Thing!

Runescape, Guild Wars 1, Eve. At the same time as Eve, Guild Wars 2.
Runescape taught me grinding is boring as hell. GW1 taught me that sometimes the fun comes from playing with other people. Eve was/is more fun than both of those combined, but has truly awful PvE. GW2 is for when I want to participate in some PvE that doesn't suck.

Asheron's Call was the only other MMO I've subscribed to for any significant length of time (1999-2002 or so I think, with an occasional revisit of the lower levels with a new character).
I have briefly played:
Anarchy Online
Earth & Beyond
Guild Wars
LotR Online
D&D Online
Age of Conan
Elder Scrolls Online
Maybe some others I've forgotten. I mostly only played the beta or free trial of these games. AC and EVE are the only ones I took a liking to. AC I fell in love with right away, EVE took 6 years to win me over and get me to start playing regularly.
I wish I tried UO and SWG back in the day.

Going through University, WoW was the only thing people played in Residence and in class. Sadly, I spent a lot more time there than I probably should have in hindsight.

In a previous incarnation, I was an ace WW2 Eastern Front pilot protecting -á-+-ü-ü-+-Å--£-¦-é-â-ê-¦-¦ from the Luftwaffe dogs.
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.

First mmo's for me were wow and vindictus, didn't like them that much so i thought mmo's were not for me.
Then a i saw some trailers from eve and thought why not try the 14 day trial, it's not like i would actually keep playing it with the monthly pay and all. That was back in 2011
I played some guild wars 2. It's a good game and i enjoyed it, but it got quite repetitive after a while

Hundred Years War, an ancient conceptual MMO on AOL in 1995. The concept is still brilliant, I think. You play a real baron, earl, duke, etc. from the history of that time, on up to King of England, Roi de France or Pope. You have so many things you want to do, but never enough time or ducats to do them all. You need your side to win, but your ability to influence outcomes (and your level of responsibility) depends on your income level (land holdings/medieval wealth production) as mere baron on up to a super-feudal lord medieval king.
The whole system just organically creates a real feudal system, where everybody is naturally relying on each tp fulfill the feudal service-in-exchange-for-protection oath. And the game usually goes on close to a year, side vs. side, across many tactical battles, expensive but crucial strategic sieges. And many diplomatic initiatives with players throughout the game. Recruit a traitor, trust a nominal traitor not to be an awoxer? Which side are the Doge of Venice and the Holy Roman Emperor and their ducats going to side with? And why? Will they switch again later? Can we seed mistrust within the other team? Is our King or Roi player up to all this complicated b.s.? (Best one I ever saw was a hardass retired former prison warden).
Still have fine friends from old Hundred Years Wars. We're feudal bonded brethren. I think we forgot about the game or how we know each other. Just when somebody's doing a project, or his wife is having a surgery, or whatever, the guys say hey and call in the troops. :)

MUD's... Copper, Eltanin, ROM's, Godwars, lp 2.4.5, later lp muds, YaMUD, a bit of the aberMUDS.
After that, EverQuest, Earth & Beyond (til it went belly up), EVE, dabbled with WoW and disliked it... back to EVE.
Now I'm pretty much ruined for any 'civilized' MMO that might crop up, as I hungrily eye other people's things and constantly seek ways to either make them my own, or destroy them. |

So lets, see:
1. Diablo II Battlenet (not sure if this counts)
2. WoW (vanilla) as first real MMO
3. City of Heroes/Villains --> loved this one to bits, still one of the best avatar based MMOs in my opinion. So sad it got sacked.
4. Eve --> I took several longer breaks but always kept coming back
5. Warhammer Online --> the pvp was fun, everything else not so much
6. Champions Online --> just a few weeks until I realized that this game in fact was not CoH 2.
7. Hello Kitty Online--> always thought this was a joke on the eve forums, when I found out this abomination really existed and was free to play, of course I had to try it. Well...what can I say....it's not very good
I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it.
Yes, I do feel bad about it.

I once in -96 (I think) printed a list that had all the available muds that were open at the time along with their IP's and the list took almost 50 pages ...
I doubt any of the MUD's in that list exist any more but you can try this one http://www.topmudsites.com/ and see if there's a genre that you would like to try out.
edit:
Well batmud and okay some of the others also still exist.  |

I didn't play it for too long and also my memory is something i only have random access to, but here's what i remember:
The game was very well produced. Very polished graphics, great sound and music combined with an amazing storyline, which was extended beyond the game by a website called Stellarvox Veritas with little stories told in the style of news articles that enabled you to gradually put the pieces of the puzzle together. Iirc the f2p system had the usual advantages for paying customers, but wasn't too restrictive. It did have instances for pve grinders, but most of the game was happening in open world areas. Dogfighting was pretty intense and nothing short of a modern space shooter, you could also invest skillpoints to learn certain maneuvres (e.g. something like up,up,left, right for a barrel roll), but nobody did that since you could simply try to fly like that manually and save your skillpoints for other stuff, which brings us to the bad stuff.
The balancing had some major flaws, maybe even going beyond what you'd expect of such a young game. The crafting system was horrid, imagine timer-based crafting where you actually have to be logged on and sit idle in a station until the stuff is finished. It wasn't really worth it either until endgame, since the "meta 0"-modules you were able to use after a levelup were usually better than anything shiny you could use before that. So, the combat was great, but outside of that there was little to do.
When i left the game it was already in frail health, some weeks later i received a mail offering free stuff to returning players which made me feel like a scumbag ignoring a dying man's cry for help. However one can only play that many games in one's free time. Later on they did a major shift of focus towards player-controlled starbases and bigger, slower (multiplayer?) ships. I was sceptical about that and by the time i decided to see it with my own eyes, it was already too late. |

EVE (3 years plus)
WoW (<1 month)
GW2 (~1 month)
TESO (~3 months)
Wildstar (~1 month)
STO (2 months and counting)
Basically, I've found that I don't like MMOs per se. None of them, including EVE, has come close to matching the sort of freedom I enjoyed in Elendor. I like opportunities to do things with other people.

Realm of The Mad God (I blame STEAM)
And after that the stuff I probably choosed at random off MMORPG or STEAM and installed and then uninstalled a couple hours later or a few days later :)
On an extra note I will check out ELITE: Dangerous next year when I get a better puter, there-¦s so much lack of real interesting Space MMO-¦s or games whatsoever plus I kickstarted Star Citizen, so waiting on that too.
Cheers!

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.

DAOC, WOW, SWG, EVE.
I hated WOW, and I never want to play anything like it ever again.
SWG had an abyssmal combat and skill system, plain horrible from the start. BUT, the initial crafting system was absolutely superior to anything I aver saw before or after that. You didn't have to collect the frigging shadow leather of doom to craft your cool new leather vest/armor, you just could use any material with the name leather in it in that one crafting material slot and every crafting material had it's own stats and those stats would influence the final result.. It was AWESOME!
Riprock Industries produced some of the best Leather Armors on the server.
Stupidity should be a bannable offense.

I'm a bit of an MMO fanatic, I've played several dozen different MMORPGs over the past decade. Below are the games I've played for a year or more:
- City of Heroes
- World of Warcraft
- Eve Online
- Lord of the Rings Online
- Aion
- Everquest 2
- The Secret World
- Guild Wars 2
- Final Fantasy XIV
Below are games that I spent far less time in but feel are fairly good games in their own way:
- Saga of Ryzom
- Wakfu
- Wizard101
Every game listed above is fantastic in some manner. If I had to narrow it down to my top 3, it would consist of City of Heroes, The Secret World, and Final Fantasy XIV. However, if I continue to enjoy Eve this time around as much as I have been recently, it will probably replace FFXIV in that list. |

Started with EVE, tried it first around 2004 ( this character finally stuck around in 2006). Then tried WoW, STO and SWTOR. That's for the "traditional" MMO's. Intermittently play all of these whenever, but mostly EVE and WoW - both subscribed at least once per year, others I haven't played in years. |

Same here. Everytime I try another MMO, all I can think is that its not EVE.
They all feel lame compared to this masterpiece.
Have played GW, GW2, TESO, STO, SWTOR, Defiance, never WoW,
All got boring, Eve is the only one that even when it gets boring, it brings me back again to try something new. |

The issue with most other MMORPGs is that I'm not really sure Eve should be in the same genre. All of those games are heavily themepark: what ride do I want to ride today to get the next hanging from a stick? Eve is quintessential sandbox: what do I want to do today? Eve is closer to Minecraft than it is most MMORPGs.
I'm not sure it's been mentioned in this thread so far, but I agree with the oft-mentioned notion that it's easier to consider Eve a hobby than a game. |

Jeez... This is well done the block a bit for this I guess. Probably the biggest one I've played time wise is WoW (Launch-BC, then a break, back for WotLK but left when Citadel was launched) I've bounced around a lot of stuff, Runescape (free account) Anarchy Online, LOTR:O, The Secret World (wrecked by unrealistic expectations) and I'm sure other things that I've only played for a short time before quitting and forgetting.
This is my second run at EVE, last time was about 3 months... but that was a couple of years ago, in a lot of was a different, more streamlined and "not playing as a job" friendly so giving it another go. |

DDO brought me to the co-op MMO genre, I was a huge fan of that game for a long time. It was ruined by pay-to-cheat and extreme grind alongside 'buy this item to skip this boring part of the grind'.
I then tried WOW and found it an inferior version of DDO with a worse community. Tried LOTRO, same response. Tried EVE, started out feeling the same way until I got out of the cooperative mindset, then I got hooked.

As far as MUD's go perhaps my favorite of all time was a reworked aberMUD called YaMUD, or GooLand in one of it's incarnations. It featured skill based environmental interactions, some places simply could not be found without certain skills, weather that did stuff, etc.
Like so many it disappeared without a trace, which made me sad. If anyone has any clues as to where I might find the code for this fossil I'd be very grateful.
Would also be interested in a ROM 2.4b that supports 100 levels and contains the zone(s) 'Divided Souls' and/or 'Dante's Inferno'.
That thing you just poasted? Yeah, that. That's the reason Ezwal always looks unhappy.
