What other MMORPGs have you guys played?
 

Sorry if a thread just like this has already been made. I just want to see what other MMOs failed to fill EQ's shoes for you guys.

My first mmo was EQ and since then I have basically played every fantasy mmorpg that has been released with any considerable hype to it. Some I played for one week and some for a couple years. None compare to Classic EQ...none. Following EQ I played...
(this is all random order)
DAoC
LoTR
Final Fantasy Online
EQ2
City of Heroes
WoW
Diablo 2
Runescape (a little over 3 minutes, if that)
Star Wars Galaxies
Shadow Bane
Age of Conan
Warhammer Online
Aion

I feel like I'm missing a couple but that is the majority for sure.

EQ
EQ2
WoW
Vanguard
FFXI
LotRO
DDO
CoH
Fallen Earth
Tabula Rasa
Eve
Hello Kitty Island Adventure

EQ through GoD(ish - I stopped paying attention after awhile), followed by
CoHeroes for about a year, followed by
EQ2 through its first expansion, followed by
LoTRO (from alpha through Moria), concurrent with
WoW (came in at Burning Crusade, only stopped recently),
a very brief flirtation with Star Trek Online

How was Vanguard? I wanted it be like EQ in many aspects, but when it released I heard it was no where ready and didn't end up buying it.

Diablo 2
Vanguard
WoW
EQ2
Age of Conan

Vanguard was pretty cool, it was nowhere near ready to be released when it was. Even so, it was very fun, in my opinion. From what I hear now, it has made a ton of progress and is quite good now. I keep meaning to resub and try it for a month again.

Personally, Vanguard is right after EQ on my list of favorite games. It offered a huge world, diverse races and unique classes and that's all I'm really asking. I play pretty casually(maybe ten hours a week if I'm lucky) so I could've played Vanguard for a long while and not run out of content, unfortunately the friends I was playing it with left and I with them, always thinking I'd come back when the game was a little more polished, and then the population just fell right out.

Honestly, with all its naive ambition I think Vanguard did more to set back the MMO industry than WoW, even. I don't think we'd see as many WoW-Clones if Vanguard hadn't failed so miserably in its attempt to provide an alternative, and I don't mean they failed in making a fun game, merely that they failed commercially, and spectacularly.

Obviously I couldn't have seriously played all of them. Most I just sampled for a month or two and canceled subs, but the point is I have played em.

I forgot about the four or five minutes I spent playing Pirates of the Caribbean.

How was this game? i missed this one

Good end game content?

^ Nah, the raid content was all jacked up. Ended up just being a zergfest, but the power armor was pretty dope.
