Ok I've been playing MMO for 14 years this year. I've been playing since UO came out in 97. I've played numerous games over these years and I can't remember them all. But I'll list what I've played so it can give you an idea.
My favorite MMO of all time was Legend of Mir 2 EU. The reason I liked this game is mainly due to the fact when you PKed someone they could drop items they were wearing. The PvP in this game was good and as a single player you could take on multiple players with easte and it was a good MMO. A lot of solo play and you could kill most of the bosses in game solo. I also liked the grind and the fact there was no end game level - no level cap.
The next game which kept my attention for a long while was Ragnarok online. This game had a long grind if you wanted to reach max level, it also allowed rebirth which allowed you to level up all over again. This had the solo aspect I liked and I could solo most bosses in game, any I couldn't solo I could do with one person. I rather enjoyed the graphics and the complexity of it in the stats in the game. Working out your end game stats etc and working out what items you would have.
Dark Eden - Played this for a long while. I loved the fact you could PK anyone and they could drop what they were wearing. High level cap, plenty of solo content great game.
Battle of the Immortals - Enjoyed that game a fair bit, ran the most successful guild outside of Asia in that game until I quit. Again could PK anyone which was fun but again no real solo play a lot had to be done in groups and at certain times.
Korean TERA - Enjoying this but it's Korean so no point getting too in to it.
Age of Conan/Aion/WoW/RF Online - I enjoyed all these for a period but didn't really like the fact everything had to be done ingroups. They just didn't have that longetivity factor.
Eve - tried numerous times I just get bored. Even joined Red V Blue Corps but couldn't get in to it.
DarkFall /Mortal online - Fun for a few weeks then I just get bored. Again although I like solo play the worlds just felt empty and I could go many hours without bumping in to people (Darkfall). Mortal Online was kind of cool but imo was in Alpha when I played.
DCUO - Fun for a few hours got bored.
L1/L2 - L1 I couldn't get in to didn't like it, L2 too dated graphics for a 3d game.
Redstone - Didn't like the movement and animation.
LoTRO/Everquest/EQ2/STO/GA - Didn't get in to them.
2nd Life/Project Entropia/MU online/Legend of Mir 2 USA/Legend of Mir 3 - tried played for a bit got bored ( I know I mentioned Mir earlier but that was hosted by a different company )
Champions Online/Star Wars Galaxies/City of Heroes - Didn't really like.
RIFT - Wasn't too keen on the BETA.
So it seems the 2.5D games are were it's at for me I guess but I hate the looks of Dofus etc.
I'm looking forward to TERA and Legend of the Immortals but I need something to play now.
TL : DR
I like PvP, I like solo games - able to solo bosses etc, don't care if it's P2P or F2P like nice graphics but not essential if a 2.5D game, like games with no level cap. I'm more of a hardcore player I guess and prefer grinding over quests. I like large loot tables and stuff like that.
Any idea? I've prob missed games off my list as I've tried loads over the years.
Thanks
