Please dont laugh:
Tibia -> Runescape -> eve


I was impressed of eve right from the first day, so I gave a hint to my friend. He joinned too. He loved it, well ofc he did, we tend to think alike; EXACTLY ALIKE, christ we even say same things simultaneously.

And here we are, over 2 years later.

I was, and still am mostly into FPS.

Unreal
Quake 3
Half-Life (That also means Conter-Strike, The Specialists, Natural Selection, Vampire Slayer, Team Fortress Classic and countless other mp/sp mods)
Halo
Unreal 2004
Half-Life 2 (As well as CSS and Dystopia on clan-level)

As you see, all this were mostly sci-fi action games, with my favorite parts of them being large multiplayer battles. Then my clan leader in Dys got hooked on EVE and got inactive for a long time. The clan was about to disband, so i went inactive to play some NS again, where lots of the community members advertised EVE in game and on forums. I decided to check it out, with it being my first and last MMO.

And heh, here i am year and a half later, a bit crippled by the attribute selection i did in the very beginning, but never regretting that i tried this game.

I kept seeing ads on Penny Arcade, thought "ooh that looks cool", then promptly forgot about it for a year or more.

Then the T20 scandal hit slashdot, then the Ask CCP story hit slashdot, and I signed up

But the lineage I followed would be ZX Spectrum Elite -> Elite II and Elite First Encounters -> TIE Fighter -> Homeworld Cataclysm -> Homeworld 2 -> EVE

OMG I had totally forgot.

GHSC is what made me play EVE....I had heard about EVE in a forum as I said in my preivous post, but right after that I heard about this.

EVE is my first an only MMO really. Well, there were a few text based mods on the old BBS but that doesn't count.

Games before EVE:

Space Games:
X-Wing

Shooting like crazy:
DOOM, DOOM II (please note that I played doom on a 386dx40Mhz, the fastest 386 ever!)

Strategy:
Age Of Empires, AOE II

Hmph, my path is a long one...

From only space games:
Privateer
X-Wing vs Tie Fighter
StarCraft ( :P )
Homeworld, Homeworld 2
I-War 2
Freelancer

And more in general...
I think first FPS I played was wolfenstein 3d back when i was 6 years old or so...
I've probably played most popular FPS's at one time or another.
I played the first Unreal Tournament online, on a high level.
Currently I have CS:Source...

From MMO's, I've played:
Lineage II
WoW (just 2 weeks)
Silkroad (1 week)
RF Online (1 week)
Guild Wars (though not really an MMO, but has good pvp)

The interesting thing is, that since I started work, and generally since about around march this year, I've increasingly lost interest in computer games.
I just don't want to play anything anymore, and I'm not sure that I'll ever come back to EvE from my current hiatus either. I guess I got hit by the real life nerfbat

P.S.
Regarding about how I got to eve, well someone I got to know during my Lineage II time (hi Drasked) told me to try out EvE. I ended up liking it, and we've played quite a bit together. In fact, I'm going to pay him a visit in Amsterdam in about 2 weeks.

Alpha Centauri > Civilization > EvE.
Bought it because it was an online game and looked like it offered amazing breadth. Got home, realised it was a monthly subscription thought oh well the box looks too enticing .... 3 1/2 years later I quit due to now ex ... 3 mths later again back with 2 accounts

Man, this thread made me feel old. My lineage on space games goes back to Elite, I think the first space game I played was Space War, not the orignal though, I'm not that old.

No sci-fi games, but I did play Delta Force online and Runescape (Scamscape) before joining EVE (my first major MMORPG).

Well since you asked... I had a Scandinavian relative staying over at my place for a few days, he introduced me to ogame, while trying that out I saw an add for eve online. I was hooked as soon as I finished the tutorial, 20 months later and I'm still going strong

I played Elite back in the 80's but I came across EVE after reading about it on B3ta.
