So, a nice simple discussion post from me. One I'm sure has popped up more then a few times in the past but I haven't seen it in a few weeks/months so i figured I'll give people new to the Subreddit a place to share!

In as much or as little detail as you want, explain your history with MMOs and why you are currently playing Guild Wars 2 !

  • Gunbound
  • Maplestory
  • Tried a large variety of other free to play over the ages (Vindictus, Dungeon Fighter Online, Terra, Flyff, Aion, Dragon Nest, Star Trek Online, Tera, Forsaken World, Firefall, Guild Wars, Wizardry Online, Dofus, Lord of the Rings Online)
  • DC Universe Online
  • Dungeons and Dragons Online
  • Guild Wars 2
  • Marvel Heroes
  • Still try out the occasional new one that crosses my radar (Elder Scrolls Online, ArcheAge, Neverwinter, Spiral Knights, Path of Exile, Realm of the Mad God, Wildstar)

Enjoyed Maplestory a lot when I was younger. DDO was pretty sticky for me, but Guild Wars 2 was the first game I tried with friends that stuck with me even when all my friend quit. I still had fun doing stuff by myself, and that is how I knew it was pretty much the best MMO on the market. Then I got a job here. Yay!

Path of Exile never gets old for me. It's a nice break from it all, when I just want to worry about hacking and slashing and pouring over game mechanic synergies.

I thought it was all right, but enjoyed Marvel Heroes a lot more for that style of MMO. Still play Marvel Heroes from time to time, but I've actually taken a step back from the MMO space to catch up on the single player experiences that are out there, especially since I play most MMOs alone anyway.

No runescape? How disappointing.

Yeah, I was all about Maplestory during that era. I technically tried out Runescape, but I died immediately after leaving tutorial island and lost all my stuff; decided that was bs and decided to stick with happy, friendly, Maplestory. :D
