Meme mood

Don’t know why, but I’m feeling very much like filling out questionaires and do random, non-serious blog stuff today.  You can thank Syp for this one.

First MMO Played?

Non-MUD? Ultima Online

First Character Class/Role Played?

Ultima Online was skill based, and I was going for a heavily armored knight-type of role.

First MMO Subscribed For More Than A Consecutive Year?

EQ2

First MMO You Fell In Love With?

SWG

First Guild You Really Felt Attached To?

Iconoclast in EQ2. I left because I felt frustrated with my class, and guild progression, and I publicly talked to another guild about joining them, but decided against it, and quit the game altogether for the most part. I tried to keep in touch with some of the members, and would re-sub for a month or two at a time around xpacs and what not, but one of the officers of the guild (who quit well before I did), mocked me on the forums after I told them about getting laid-off 10 days after my wedding, probably one of the least classy things I have ever seen anyone do on the internet. Tanek, if you’re out there ever, and you read this, I’m talking to you.

First Character/Game You Leveled To End Cap?

Maybe “Loupine” in SWG? Again, was skill based, so was a bit difficult to determine, but I had mastered multiple skills and was having to un-learn things to finish new careers, so I guess that counts. As for a hard “level” cap, would be Rrin in EQ2, at 50, and 60. Then Lope in EQ2 to 60, and 70. Rrin to 70. Lope to 80. That’s the order as expansions came down the pipes.

First “Wow” Moment In A MMO?

Plopping down a house in UO, and being able to know that I had a piece of virtual land, at the age of 14 (I think that’s how old I was).

First MMO You Burned Out On?

EQ2, see above.

First MMO You Followed Avidly Prior To Launch?

WAR, I was aware of most other games prior to launch, but WAR was a serious love of mine. I think my join date on Warhammer Alliance is November 2006? I was following it before then, but didn’t feel the need to join any message boards until that time.

First Time You Felt Truly Noobish In A MMO?

Other than UO, EvE. Most MMOs I haven’t had real trouble figuring anything out, or really feeling like I just made a huge mistake that noone else would have made. EvE is a different beast, I feel mentally assaulted when I try to figure that game out.

First MMO You Went Alt-Crazy In?

City of Heroes. That game just DEMANDS alts out of you.

List o’ Fun

There was a thread on my home server’s forum over at Warhammer Alliance that was actually an interesting topic (you can read it here). The whole point of the topic was to list the 24 classes in order. The order of why is determined by the person making the list. Some people are posting in order of most successful in RvR, some as the most fun, others as most desirable. As the original poster of the thread stated, the order of the list, and reason for the order shows a lot about the player, and how you approach the game. I’d love to see all the bloggers out there throw up their list of 24, below you will find mine. I chose to base mine on how much fun I perceive each class to be. Hope to see you all have a go at it!
