Ultima Online was my first back in '97/98
Didn't try any others until around 2001/2. Then went through:
SWG - up until the changes that destroyed it.
Planetside - lasted around 2 years. Hot drops are fun :)
Anarchy Online - still play this, but with a free account - can just stomach the leveling.
Saga of Ryzom - interesting game with good animal AI (they hunt each other!), but left after a while
EQ2 - leveling, bah
WoW - pretty, had to try it... but leveling
Entropia - okay ish... but didn't like the model.
Auto Assault - buggies are fun... but not really good enough for a subscription.
City of Heroes - men in tights! Got bored quickly though... maybe because of the tights.
Vanguard - released too early... it shows that they ran out of money.
Guildwars - fun, free.. haven't played it much recently though.
Ultima remains the one with the most in depth gameplay.. totally free form! EvE comes closest to Ultima, but with big shiny spaceships.
It's a shame there are not more sci-fi themed MMOGs, maybe Starcraft - although that is likely to be WoW in space, pretty, polished, but mass market leveling

Favourite game ever was Frontier: Elite 2
Played a lot of X2 The Threat a while back. When X3 came out I was scouring the forums for some solution to the hideous lag and saw numerous references to EvE online. Thought I'd give it a try, never looked back.
EvE is a truly awesome game. I've never played any other MMOs, and (apart from Infinity Quest for Earth if it ever comes out) I don't plan to.

UO -> Anarchy Online -> Jumpgate -> EVE Online.
After I started playing eve I have tried wow, everquest 1&2, ddo and swg.
EVE cant be compared to any of them and EVE is the only game I am playing today and ive logged more hours in eve than in most of the others combined.

Jumpgate. Word has it that they are revamping the graphics and some new changes are coming. I may just have to reactivate to see the Eye Candy. Also, there is nothing like joystick control to make battles more interesting. Twitch and hand/eye coordination FTW.

Navyfield for me. Its been screwed by the developers getting very greedy (buy everything + pay for subscription to be competative). Therfore I left it looking for better gameplay, members there suggested eve so Im here.
Ive also played WoW before
Ive played lots of others though in my time.

EQ poped my cherry, but I played AO for a long time, and it was in AO i found out about EvE, and started once it went live. I played WoW when it 1st came out and quit in 4 weeks, I just recently tried WoW again as a lot of co-workers play and I couldn't stomache it past 3 months. I have tried many other MMO's DnD, AC 1 and 2, FF11, almsot all these I played the trial and quit. EVE is by far the best out there for me.

Ragnarok Online.
Addictive on it's own hypnotic way but a bit too mutch cartoon. Other than that mostly entertained myself with FPS and RPG's (single player versions). EVE was first game I en****ered for what I was actually willing to pay each month.

Guild Wars. Still do, actually.
I got really ticked off after the developers extended the Christmas event last year (because of the Earthquake in the Far East). It wasn't the actual extension, but largely because during such events, all the stupid people show up asking the same questions that were answered 5 seconds ago. And I wasn't in the mood for another week of that! 
At first I tried to give WoW a go, but I got put off by the idiotic patch sizes, then I found a PC ZONE disc with EVE on it, thought 'something different from fantasy', installed, patched and played.

What did I play? Oh..I remember I played Pong, Leisure Suit Larry, Sims City, Myst, King's quest, Civilization, Sonic, Oblivion and many many more single player games on consoles and pc's.
Then I discovered MMO's. It started with the Earth and Beyound and after that The Sims Online, ATITD, SWG, WoW, DDO, Guild Wars, AO, Rappelz, Lotro and maybe I forgot a few. Part of them is not before Eve, since I still play WoW, GW, AO. The strange thing is that I'm not even a hardcore player. I play about 10-20 hours p/week.
My main draw to most games is trading and social systems, although I also like some action at times. I'm a female player, so that might also explain why I like games like Sims. I don't like just playing one game, although sometimes I am suddenly very attracted to a game for some weeks or months. Eve is ok, but there are many more nice games (including WoW).

I used to run a Freelancer server. We ran the FreeWorlds mod. We had enormous lag if we had more than 60 people on the server.
One of the guys that played on my server told me that EVE was everything that we wanted Freelancer to be and more. I told him that I would never pay a monthly fee to play a game. He got me to try the 14 day trial and now I have 4 accounts.

Everything from 'Pong' onwards including some terrible stuff on an Atari 2600. I have spent most of my time on Muds, the best place ever for RP, spent about 18 months with Guild Wars, then took the plunge and came to Eve. Its the nearest thing I have found to 'Elite'.

Eve is my first MMO, I`m not really a total space fan but love the way this game works, well the strategic side of it anyway.
In the hunt for a change of game, I have recently tried a trial of star wars galaxies, that was a waste of time IMHO! - So EVE lives on for me :)

Started off with some RTS and FPS multiplayer games, moved on to Neverwinter nights with all addons (played on the 3 kingdoms rp server)
then I picked up this magazine one day with a free 14 day trial of some game called Eve-online, tried it out ... it sucked the first time round.
1 Month later tried again but this time read the forums like a bible tried to understand as much as possable now I am hooked.

PVP in EvE is consentual, you agree to it when you login. If you don't like it you're in the wrong game.

Neocron-1 for 2 years or so since beta and Neocron-2 for a few months. Started with the best mix of clan and faction pvp, roleplay / ingame politics and shooter action.
Somehow the devs screwed up, ****** up the balance and new content came too slow. ( That's when I had my 1st EVE visits). They let the community wait an eternity for the 'expansion' Neocron-2 and when it came, it turned out that it didn't make things better, but screwed some of the fun aspects of the game up.
Established clans went away and those players were the most valuable asset in the game, since they made content, politics, action.
My clan left too. Many hated us, but after we were gone we were missed, because we were one of those, who made action with our raids and stuff. Really funny.
Ok, that was about my first MMORPG and were I had the best time and most pvp fun with a clan.
After that I've played, Planetside. Was a fun pvp, but lacks 'RPG' depth like ingame politics. It's a massive tactical shooter. I prefer conflicts that start with politics/diplomacy and end with heavy gun fire.
Tried anarchy empire, swg, several betas, was not convinced. Played EVE again.
Then got dragged to WoW by my old Neocron Clan. Best PvE gameplay for guilds that I've ever seen in a MMORPG and especially with friends it was fun.
Afer half a year I came back to EVE. I'm playing some MMORPG trials from time to time or apply for betas, but I haven't found another game so far with a concept that convinces me. I like clanplay, pvp, conflict, reasons to fight for with a lot of blabla around it.
But most games are just killing monsters, grinding up, or real conflicts between players is avoided. The 'Be nice !' games. I'm not interested to be nice, when I am at war or at least I like to have the choice, if I want to be nice or not. SO I think I'm trapped in EVE for a while.
