There's a rich vein of WoW hatred running through the forums, which can easily be dismissed as fanboism just like the assumption that eve is so complicated that you're instantly proving yourself Clever by installing the client. equally other titles like Guild Wars are also kicked in the balls as regularly as possible.
But it did get me thinking.
MMO players are made, not born, so what did you play before you discovered Eve, how do you fink they compare, and why Eve in particular?

was a single player for a looong time. got broadband. played WoW from release, but eventually got bored waiting for new content and burned myself out farming PvP rank.
looked for another MMO to fill the geek shaped hole, but City of Heros bored the snot out of me and Planetside was a ghost town by the time i started playing.
stumbled across the new forum of a group of chaps who i'd known in a vague on-line sense for years, and discovered they had an Eve corp. Signed up. Quit. Came back.

This Fred's quite interesting reading.
Upto the early 2000's FPS was clearly the daddy when it came to multiplayer (largely for want of any real competition, with hindsight) and whilst online-RTS has remained relatively constant, from people's posts here i'd hazard a guess that the success of titles like WoW and EvE have decimated public counterstrike servers.
Although the Eve forums aren't representative of anything beyond what happens to people if they spend waaay to much time alone indoors, obv.

Originally by: SiJira well your last paragraph confuses me because since mmo players are made not born you would think not everyone played an mmo before eve
such as myself kkbye
i read that, was halfway through writing a reply, then realised it made no sense. like graham norton's inexplicable popularity.
Originally by: SiJira you know whats wrong with this thread?
the way the question is posed makes it seem like you had quit all previous games - i still play all my rts
urgh. stoppit with the weak flamey argumentativeness already. you're not even very good at it.
you still play Dune 2?
My favorite game ever, you know. it was ace back in the day but it hardly stands up to close inspection these days. Anyway the question was 'what did you play before Eve'. that's all.

bah, i went back and edited that because i remembered you like to just argue some ludicrously pedantic point of semantics upto the point where it destroys the thread.
Imagine my delight that you managed to get a post in first!

Originally by: Janu Hull After three years of getting sicker and sicker of hackers screwing with me because of our popularity, and the nature of the roleplay there turning to some extremely deviant sexplay,
Originally by: Janu Hull I turned to SWG about a month after launch and spent the next almost four years on the Kettemoor server.
