Being new on the Massively team, I've been getting to know the rest of the bloggers and learning about their MMO habits and they're certainly a varied bunch. I like to think I have a good knowledge of MMOs, even if I play
World of Warcraftalmost exclusively, but whilst chatting with the team, it became clear most of them are gripped either by
WoW,
Second Life or
EVE Online. Personally I'm dying to play
Aion.
I've dabbled in most MMOs and virtual worlds but I'd never played
EVE Online. So, after ascertaining there was just one server and quietly thanking the MMO gods, I downloaded the file, created a sexy female Reborn and logged in. Boy did I get a shock! After hundreds of hours playing
WoW, I was stuck in a
ship and the cursor keys didn't appear to come into play either! Talk about out of my comfort zone. I confess, I gave it an hour and then went back to the sanctuary of Azeroth.
Anyway, I wanted to find out how you guys choose which of the numerous MMOs to play. I got into
WoW because all my friends and colleagues were playing it and a friend sent me the box as a birthday present. Even then it took a good month for me to get hooked. Now MMOs are a dime a dozen and it seems physically impossible to play all of them, how do you pick which ones to play and which to let pass by?
