I've played so many MMOs I'm having a hard time remembering which ones I own across the internet so I wanted to make a list. May as well put it on my Giant Bomb page.
This list does not represent any specific order. My grammar in there is probably bad as well because this was a rush job. I'll fix it later.

I played this game for over 5 years starting the year it came out. It was an incredible experience, and my first MMO. I wrote a bad review for it on Gamespot after it started to go to shit. That's all whatever, though. This game was neat at the time and I won't forget the time I had in it. I've probably played all the MMOs I have at this point trying to recapture that but it turns out that none of them ever will. RIP
I have owned World of Warcraft since Dec of it's second year, or so (2006 I believe) and I played it a lot at the time, but much much less now. I do occasionally check back in on it, but I don't enjoy the changes they've made to it and continue to make so I never stick around for very long. I have all the expansions, though. They're usually fun enough to waste a month on.
I had the collection of both City of Heroes and Villains, but my main character in this game was on the villain side. I did occasional play a healer on the hero side, but I found the hero side to be duller for some reason. It had a significantly bigger map, but it wasn't as fun to me. I played this game for a long time and had a fairly successful guild in it. RIP
I played this around the time they released their fourth expansion. I got a collection on Direct 2 Drive- it was the first site I trusted to pay to sell me a digital game (I bought this collection there and I bought Overlord there). It was neat at the time and I still don't remember why I stopped playing it. I think it's free to play now. Edit 2021: This seems to be one of only a few MMOs still remaining from 10 years or more ago that still has a monthly subscription. I may check it out again. While it was sold to another company apparently it's still the same game so reviews are mostly still favorable to this.
After City of Heroes/Villains went down this has become a "so-so" substitute. It's not really as good, but it's the only super hero MMO, that isn't a Diablo clone, that exists. I play it sometimes. If you use a subscription you can do some cool stuff in it. It's a fun diversion sometimes. Edit 2021: Can only play full game now with a purchase of a lifetime subscription of $250. No more monthly fee.
I can only tell you that this game was the single coolest MMO experience I ever had. It's a real shame it was so niche. I have so many cool story of the live in world stories that would happen on the fly and other things that would happen in this game that are just not viable. But it was a really wonderful moment in history that only a few will ever remember. RIP
It's funny. They shut the servers down but it still exists on my origin account almost as a mockery to me. "Haha you bought this game." It's a shame. This game played well for an MMO, and had a cool look to it. I also like the Warhammer take on the classes. The PVP was also fun. PS. I have an origin account for free games. Games I purchased before Origin existed as a platform also ended up on there such as this game. RIP
I played this game during it's "Friends and Family" Pre Alpha testing phase in 2009 or something. Maybe earlier, it's hard to remember, but it was a really long time ago now. It wasn't a game yet, and never really became one, but the experience taught me a lot about what it means to be a fan of something, and how to maintain expectations for things I enjoy that much. I don't think I've actually had that much expectation for anything since although I still make rash comments about most things. RIP
When this first came out I thought it was really good because it was the first MMO I can recall having active combat (that I played), but I played it again recently and it is shockingly bland now. I will probably never play it again. Not recommended, if anyone cared to wonder.
This MMO is cool, and the show is "meh." The problem I had is the game runs out of stuff to do and I don't feel like buying the expansion or whatever it is yet. But the game has been fine. Maybe better than Borderlands. I'm thinking about playing The Division and if that's at least as good as this then I'm good going over to that. I'm not a big fan of "shooter RPGs" because I hate how it feels when you shoot something and it seems to have little impact but this games does it well because most stuff gets hit hard enough and only boss or "named" enemies take longer to die so... I don't know. It just works better for me than most I guess. RIP
