Finally got around to sorting out my recurring bills:
Final Fantasy XI: Cancelled in 2005, I miss the Taru Tarus and the Mogs, but I never liked the combat. My first exposure to "buffs", "mobs" and other such wankmongery.
World of Warcraft: Cancelled. Never got beyond L30, haven't played for six months, a mate now using my account (six months still on it). Always needed a piss half way through the instances.
City of Villians: Cancelled. Flying around in my pants was curiously not as much fun as I thought it would be, haven't played for a month. Everyone seemed to be vastly superior, missions were dull and repetitive.
Guild Wars: Urm, never worked out how to contact 5punkers in-game, so never even saw the guild hall, got stuck fighting Charr in Ascalon and got wanked off with the lack of variation in the scenery.
Second Shite: Haven't paid. First impressions are not good. My greeter seemed to think I should consider myself fortunate to achieve the blistering frame rate of 9fps. It looks like high-end 3D graphics...from the 80's.
Dungeons and Dragons Online: Not subscribed. Played the seven day trial...for two days. I believe it's actually laggier than Second Shite, which is a remarkable achievement. Died four times during the tutorial, it's more like a first-person boxing game than an RPG.
Eve Online: Continuing subscription. Actually considering a second account. Perhaps not even the best game listed here, it does have originality though, and even though you are an infinitesimally small cog in a vast universe you can still do your thing your way. Another big factor is the welcome you get from 5punkcorp, I think I would have been discouraged long ago if it wasn't for them.
Which MMO?

I'll start from the beggining,
Phantasy Star Online: My first taste of Online RPGs and it is still one of the best, i got to lvl 52 then got all my items deleted when a duplication attempt went wrong, started new character but my modem broke, got friends modem but had to re-enter my serial key where i accidently put O instead of 0 and i could never play again. Although recently people have set up an independant server for PC and GC play, but theres no protection against hacks, still, it was nice to revisit the game.
Myth of Soma - This was a great MMO i played from Beta but sadly i got bored of it quickly after paying for 1 month.
Guild Wars- Joined a crappy guild called the British Bulldogs and helped make them one of the best HoH guilds in the world, we pretty much made several of the builds in HoH these days. Unfortunately other commitments meant i couldn't bew on from 5pm to 9pm every day any more so people would often take my place in the team until i gave up trying.
Theres alot more here and there but none worth mentioning.
