For all the MMO playing ladies!

What's your favorite MMO? How long have you been playing them? Any new games you're looking forward to?

I've been playing MMOs since I was about 13 or 14. I started with Ultima Online and had absolutely no idea what I was doing! I tried Guild Wars, FFXI, then eventually WoW, STO, LOTRO, RIFT, and FFXIV:RR.

I'm currently playing WoW and I guess I'd have to say it's my favorite! It's a bit of a love/hate relationship which I'm sure any other WoW players can relate to, haha. In the past I ran a raiding guild and it's a ton of hard work. Been a bit off and on lately, but some old raiding buddies wanted to get started again, so I revived the old guild and we've been working on flex modes to get everyone geared. I don't mind being the GM as long as I don't have to raid lead! Too much pressure and work.

I'm really, really excited about a new game called Wildstar! It's a sci-fi themed MMO with some really interesting mechanics. It looks like a ton of fun! Some of the devs worked on Vanilla WoW. Warlords of Draenor looks great too, but it'd be really nice to have something new to play.

I used to be a die-hard WoW player. Played since vanilla WoW. I would stay up all night/morning playing. I think i had a problem. hahah PvP was my absolute favorite part of WoW. I once ran into my "doppleganger" while PvPing and i made sure to hack at my twin on the alliance side any chance i got. LOL I gave up playing WoW about 2 years ago. The main reason was because i couldnt stand some of the standards people had when doing dungeons/raids. I also was getting very annoyed when people would enter the dungeon and then swipe the items i needed (i was dps and most of the time these players were tanks) and then leave. haha I've been thinking about going back. maybe once the expansion comes out i'll join up again.

Not really looking foward to any MMOs but Elder Scrolls online seems pretty awesome. I love the Elder Scrolls serires.

I played WoW and didnt really enjoy, that and I dont like the subscription fee. Ive played a variety of free to play MMO's, currently on Dragon Prophet but I've been looking at one called Bless thats coming out. Other than that I played the original Guildwars for a good few years and at the moment I play Guildwars 2.

Guildwars 2 is great!. There is no subscription fee and its very relaxed. There is high level content you can grind if you are into that or you can play it relaxed. The PvP is amazing and ive found the community to be really friendly and helpful. Seriously worth a try if you like MMO's.

Pretty much what Grendel07 said. I played from Vanilla WoW, I had more alts than hours in a day, and I spent the better part of six solid years attached to my PC. I think I have around six 80s collecting dust. I know I had a problem and that is the main reason I quit around four years ago. Other than that I think it was mostly the people that drove me away. The people that I really enjoyed playing with had left for the most part (either unable to pay or other life demands). And honestly I found that I enjoyed the game best when I had people to play with. Also I was never a stat junkie. If someone told me to go for a certain piece of gear I would do it but I was never one for researching that stuff on my own. I played and liked pretty much every role one could play in WoW. Basically whatever my guild/friends needed, healer, tank, DPS, I was there for them. I was also cool with breezing people's alts through their lower levels. I liked questing a lot and usually would grind out levels pretty quickly. I was a great cog in the machine of a guild because I lived to farm things. *Laughs* I know it sounds odd but I would crank up some epic music, sit on Vent, and chat and it was just so peaceful . Anyway, I guess I just discovered that what I enjoyed most about the game was helping and supporting other players. I never really turned a profit or asked for much in return. So when the people that I enjoyed spending time with left I just lost my enjoyment of the game. Oh, and I was an achievement junkie completionist.. Must complete all the achievements! ^_^

I haven't been gaming much recently due to crazy hours at work (Working in IT during a core system change = 100+ hours a paycheck). I recently cut my internet at home off so I can save money. So Basically if I do any video gaming anytime soon it will be on my PS3. But no complaints from me there, I have plenty of great games for the PS3 that I can play. ^_^

The people you play with definitely make or break the game when it comes to MMOs! That's sorta been my issue, too. A lot of the folks I used to play with quit, or moved servers, or just weren't on at the same time, various other issues. Now that a few friends are back, it's been a lot of fun!

I don't think I could live without internet at home. I'd go insane!

Ha! I hear that, people can make or break lots of things.

Yeah, I get that a lot. Honestly, I've got a smart phone, I am on the computer all day at work (again, IT), and I am just not home enough to warrant paying $70 a month for the net.

I started playing WoW back in vanilla. I ended up in a semi-hardcore raiding guild, and ultimately was GMing. The experience of running a guild was so stressful that I actually quit WoW between Wrath and Cataclysm. LIke so many others though, I keep going back. I started up again for Pandaria, quit, went back, over and over! I'll probably get back into it for the next expansion.

I've also played a bunch of other MMOs along the way - Aion, Rift, The Secret World, but nothing stuck. I was excited also about the Elder Scrolls MMO, until I tried it in beta. I won't be buying it.

I'm hoping the EQ MMO ends up being successful!

Yeah, ESO was a huge letdown for me - I was so excited for it and it took about half an hour in the beta for me to decide I hated it.

Wildstar looks promising - I got the play the alpha at PAX last year and reminded me of a cross between WoW and SWTOR. I'm heading back to PAX in April and am hoping to get my hands on some new stuff - hopefully there are some good MMOs on the horizon.

oh goodness, ladies!!! you're starting to give me the itch to play WoW again! I tried to hint this idea to my husband the other night..... nope! he said i still have skyrim, tomb radier and sim3 to play at the moment. (booo!) lmao. Its fine, I think I can convince him to come to the dark side once the expansion comes out

Honeslty, raids/dungeons were fun - With my friends/guild. But like you all, once they started to leave it wasnt all fun as it used to be. And once I started to make my health/fitness a priority; WoW wasnt being played as much. And consequently, my gear wasnt up to par. I would get kicked out of groups/raids because I didnt have this purple set, or whatever else they "needed" I complained and was like "i have a LIFE. How am I or anyone else supposed to get up to par when NO ONE lets us?" It didnt matter. That was my biggest turn off. I know that Blizzard sort of fixed this problem with the dungeon/raid queues. I still say my heart lied with PvP. There was a RUSH I felt when I would keep knocking down the allience. Its a battle of how fast I can mash my buttons and get this guy before he gets me. LOL
Pandaeria didnt even strike me as interesting. Not sure why. Pandas are cute and all....

Oh YESS! I was all for trying to get achivements!!! I would go down the list: oh, i can do that no prob! Oh, gotta wait on that!
I was trying to get to 100 mounts! LOL My favorite is the drake mount. I still to this day want the headless horsemans' mount from the Halloween world event in Wow. That was another thing i loved about this game: holidays!

SIMS 3 WOOT. While Sims 4 looks interesting, I've been so frustrated with EA's support for Macs that I'm not sure if it's worth it. I tried installing it on my Windows VM, but then realized I just had the Mac copy. I wish more companies were like Blizzard - one purchase, two systems. Why is that so hard? -_-

My WoW subscription runs out at the end of the month and I think I'm going to let it die. Well, at least until the next expansion! I'll have to likewise convince my husband to resub though; as it is, it's driving me nuts that he stopped playing at 86. Really? Four levels from 90? REALLY? The game starts at 90 FFS!

Ironically, he sent this link to me the other day:

Ladies, I need dis. Naow.

My first MMO was WoW and I've recently revisited it after a long hiatus. I've tried several other MMO's since (LOTRO, Rift, SWTOR, Guild Wars 2) but the one that came closest to sucking me in was SWTOR. I'm actually debating on going back for a couple months just so I can finish the storylines for a couple characters. The storytelling/character progression/voice acting was amazing in that game. Although realistically, if it has lightsabres it's a fair guarantee I'll be interested, hehe.

I never tried out the PVP for SW:TOR as it was the story that got me. I can completely appreciate that it's not for everyone but as a big Star Wars nerd there was no way I wasn't gonna try it lol

WildStar is one that I was initially really excited about and have been keeping an eye on for quite a while, but I think I've just got mixed feelings about MMO's in general so I'm not sure if I'll try it out yet or not. Atm I'm more into solo/3-4 type multiplayer games.
