I'll refrain from my own plugging until some other people post it up.

That being said, I have played World of Warcraft at my friend's house a few times, and it's highly addictive.

It was worth it. When it was no longer worth it, I stopped paying.
Also, I play two MMO's right now, both are free, and both beat out stuff like WoW and FFXI for my time. I've been playing one for over 3 years.

I also played urbandead for a week before dying in entirely unpredictable ways and becoming a zombie. Pity, great concept.

Played WoW during beta and quit about two months before it went live.

I now (theoretically - I'm still in the 30 day trial period right now) pay £38.85 quarterly to continue playing it.
Even after a mere 24 hours, I can already tell that it WILL be money well spent.

For the $20 / month (US) you also get expansions included in the price. Very cool. The new one adds a bunch of content. I just started about 6 days ago and I'm addicted. :(

I play me some Guild Wars. Used to play it a lot more often, but then I had time. And now I do not! Hurr.
I was pretty close to buying Guild Wars but chose MxO over it. Then I gave up MxO after about 2 months. Is it a good game?

Sadly I can only play GW right now. Or mebbe CSS. If I had the time.
I'm royally pissed off at valve. I bought, and I mean bought, Counter Strike:Condition Zero for no other reason than to get access to CS:Source and then once HL2 comes out CS:Source dissapears off my f'ing harddrive and now they want me to buy HL2 to play Source. I'm not falling for that twice.

Did/do have Guild Wars, but i found it lacking. o may play it again in the future, it's always there.
want to try WoW eventually but I've pretty fully up with FFXI atm.

Trust me, download the large version of "EVE Never Fades". I know it's not small, but DAMN it's worth it. HELLA cool video.

I've been playing MMO's for a long while now. They're often more than worth the monthly fee. It depends on thier policy for releasing new content. Sony's standard method sux, aka pay an extra 20.00 for every stupid expansion.
I've been playing City of Heroes since March 2004 (When it was in Early Beta). Its provided me countless hours of fun and a great community.
I've played other games in the past, Everquest (lasted two days), Star Wars Galaxies (lasted thirty minutes), Ultima Online (lasted two days), Earth and Beyond (played for eight months), Guild Wars (lasted a week), World of WarCraft (lasted two weeks), Jumpgate (lasted two months).
My experience with these games is to get in the beta and try it or find a friend who plays and see if they'll let you try it out a bit, or find a free trial. Buying an MMO without trying it can often lead to a huge waste of time and money.
For those of you looking for a great new game.. I'm currently in Auto Assault's (http://www.autoassualt.com)Beta and talk about fun... Cars, Guns, destructable environment, great beta community, and the Dev Staff has had so much interaction with the player base its amazing.
Its a long way out from release so there's a good chance of getting into the beta yet for those who are interested.

2) I will meet someone more interesting than her and she will never ever see me again.
Kinda harsh, really....

When I first started my radio station I was expecting to have one or two female listeners... as it turns out I have about 75% of my listeners are female and not just guys playing girl characters.
Good news geeks! The Girl Gamer population has skyrocketed!

I also beta test a lot. RFOnline is shaping up to be pretty awesome- giant mech MMO. Keep an eye out for that one, ladies and gents.

EQ I played the longest and enjoyed (past tense) the most. Probably more from the people I played with more than anything. We were able to do things 'back in the day' that few others could with our numbers. We used strategies that noone else did because they would just zerg encounters.
WoW is alot of fun but its flashiness wore off on me faster than I thought it would. I loved it when I was playing and then one day I just didn't have that itch to play anymore.
Right now I'm in a PnP mood so I'm not playing any online games. Saves me money too.

I think that the trouble in GW was that, for a non-PvPer like me, there just wasn't anything to do once you hit level twenty... I mean, sure, you could run around and get the Elite Skills and all, but that just wasn't all that fun. Really, you'd have to turn to PvP, which, while fun, just wasn't for me.

Urbandead is great. Massively lo-tech, but I guess thats part of the appeal. I haven't been playing long, but I'm enjoying it.
A lot of my characters have become zombiefied, but I've managed to get a firefighter up to level 5, and hes still gaining XP pretty easily.

It's called "Space Cowboy". it's Korean. Totally free - free software, no subscription fees.
Surprisingly addictive, given how simple it is.
downsides - overly simple and potentially repetitive. Apparently gets better when you join a player guild. Poor english translation.

it's probably not one to stick to like EVE or WoW, but it's certainly good for a quick shot of fun - especially if you've been playing a lot of EVE and want a slightly more active experience.

So now I play my level 27 undead Warrior named Kaeyle on Nath'rezim, which is a PvP server. Loving it. Keeping my smithing skills on par with my actual level is quite a trick, too, but I am doing it without too much fuss.
Fuck the Alliance. Horde for the win.

CoV, while it can sometimes be a bit repetitive, does offer some very interresting realms to explore, provided you don't allow yourself to get stuck in a rut.
Oh, and Progress Quest (http://www.progressquest.com/)... Lots and Lots of Progress Quest.
