Is there anyone here that has NEVER touched or played an MMO RPG before?

Just wondering because it seems like these days you hear a lot of talk of "I leveled so and so to level 80 heheh got the best gear" and sometimes I wonder what in the HECK they are talking about. Then they mention games like WOW and what not. I've played a few MMO's and quite frankly they can never keep my attention. I prefer traditional RPG's myself. Is there anyone here that has NEVER played or CARE to play an MMO RPG?

Myself.
I've played a little bit of Star Wars Galaxies which I know isn't regarded as the best MMO and also some WoW. Neither held my attention and I felt confused as to why people get so addicted. Seemed all flash with no substance. Yes theres a tonne of spells and equipmentyou can use, but I failed to see any context which you would have to use them and find it remotely interesting.
The only MMO I'm remotely interested in is Star Trek Online which is currently still in development. Still I doubt I'll be tempted to pay the full monthly subscription cost.

Never touched one, almost tried the WOW free trial just out of interest........ in the end I couldn't be bothered. I can't understand why, I'd probably enjoy an MMO if I got into one but I'm just not interested in taking that first step.

waste of time and money, when i played WOW it felt more like a Second Job, i mean I have to work so hard to grinding instances, setting up raids, grinding raids and wishing to get the gear thru DKP, spending hourrs upon hours leveling, grinding dailies every single day for gold, doing the same repetitive flying around mining.... ughhh in the end i wasted 14 months of my life and gained nothing but poor health, loss of social life, Im still recovering from it.

I havent played any MMOs simply because my internet connection is super slow

I have never played a single MMO yet. And I probably never will.

I just like single player games a lot more.

Just never had the interest to play them. MMO games are just not my thing. That and sports.

Sorry, I have been tainted. I used to wonder how people could pay eahc month and what not but I tried out WOW and the first night I played 12 hours straight.

Never had.

I have played WoW for a grand total of 20 minutes. Other than that I have never played any MMORPG. I'm not the sort of person to invest that much time in a single game so MMORPG's really don't appeal to me. I have enough trouble remaining focused on my studies without such expansive games to which I would no doubt become addicted.

I have never played a MMO, and don't want to. Give me a good single-player RPG and I am happy.

I've never touched one, ever. In fact, I don't even have the slightest clue as to how they work, something I'm not the least bit ashamed of.

I do enjoy RPGs, mostly of the 'J'-variety, but when I do its either something like the Persona series, which, while incredibly time-consuming, at least rewards you with compelling story, art-design and characters and also has time limits to keep you from grinding indefinitely, or the old-school Shining Force games, where every last battle is event-based, thus eliminating grinding altogether.

Thanks for the input. I haven't really played them much either because like a lot of people here, it's just too time consuming and it seems they become more like a chore than a job later in as you play them. I prefer the story telling and an end that comes with single player traditional RPGs.

No, but I honestly wish I never had. To me, they just don't compare to regular games. I don't want to play with dozens of other players. I'd rather have a more significant SP experience any day.

I have never played an MMO before, and I do not intend to do so in the future.

never touched an MMO before

I've never played an MMO mostly due to them not appealing much to me and the subscriptions which halted me to at least check them out. However, there is one upcoming MMO I'm very interested in - The Secret World. It's unique in every way imagineable and breaks many of the genre's conventions - it has a contemporary setting, it will focus on storytelling, skills and adventure elements and it will feature no leveling whatsoever.

I hear that Dungeons & Dragons Online is going free soon so I might check that out. Anyone here play it?

6 years ago, I played Ragnarok for a few weeks while it was free and that was it. I never played a MMORPG since.

I have never played an MMO. As a software engineer, I'm surrounded by what most people would call geeks every day (yes, I'm a geek too). I would say that 90% of my coworkers from the division director on down to the rank-and-file have played WOW extensively. They treat me like an outcast because I have no clue what "DPS" means...

The most I ever did was go on to my roommate's WoW account in attempt to screw around with his stuff.

I have never touched or played one. Had they come out before I got married, I am sure I would have gotten hooked on WOW or D&D online, but after getting married, I barely had enough time for single player games, I couldn't justify the investment of time/money for mmo.

The only online fun I have ever truly had was playing Counter Strike. I prefer single-player campaigns, which seem to be going out the window these days. I'd rather play music with my friends than play WoW with my "friends."

I have never played a single MMO yet. And I probably never will.

I just like single player games a lot more.

hell yeah.... that's absolutley great. LOFL

I actually have not tried one either, but my gf was going to get me WoW to try and I said don't because I might get addicted to playing that. I like playing single players a lot though.

I used to play Maple Story and I reached lvl 20 in WoW trial version. Anyways I don't really like MMOs.

I played WoW for two years, I must say the game was a lot of fun, as long as I had a friend with me. I can say I was never addicted, restricted my self to 2-3 hours a day. I pulled straight A's in school, and I usually found time to hang out with my friends. The cost was a bit much, I'll admit, but I usually made the money pretty easily.

If you're worried about addiction problems, set the parental controls to a few hours, and put in a random password you'll never remember.

I'm not interested in MMO's.
