This wiki has articles, and we need more!!

Asheron's Call (AC1)
I've been a Turbine fanboi for many years, I dabbled with Asheron's Call for a few weeks, but never really got into it.

Asheron's Call 2 (AC2)
My favorite game of all time, and there's still a void in my soul from when it was ripped away from me. Still miffed at Turbine for shutting this one down. Grr!

World of Warcraft (WoW)
I know what you're thinking... God, not another WoW player!... But, I grew up playing the RTS Warcraft games, and kinda got addicted to the lore involved. It's kind of satisfying knowing that you can enjoy the game on a much higher level (that of a loreseeker) than the mouth-breathing eight-year-old trolls that play it constantly now.

I stopped playing when it became obvious that they took so many shortcuts in the release of the Cataclysm expansion, and the fights are beyond difficult, beyond challenging... beyond enjoyable! I mean, if you're in a party that is ill prepared, or you have more than 250ms latency, you might as well pull the power cord out of your computer and hang yourself with it, because you're not downing that boss... The fight is that hard!

Eve Online
Tried this one... Couldn't find the enjoyment factor here to warrant paying for it, so I only did the trial period.

Everquest 2
I kinda got stuck on the economy on this game. The need to pay for your lodging kind of annoyed me.

Saga of Ryzom
Only did the free month of this game. Although everything looked cool, I couldn't get past how all the avatars looked basically the same.

DDO
Of course... :) Been playing since beta, and only with a couple gaps due to friends playing other things, and pulling me in, I've spent most of my time here, and enjoyed it since.

Minecraft
Not so much an MMO, but something to do to unwind from the unruly party leader demanding the obscene or obscure. I don't so much play this as give myself exercises to customize this software and deploy it on my personal Linux VPS.
