My 1st MMO was Guild Wars. While WOW has been out for few years i wanted to play a game that looked more realistic and not too cartoony like wow. And the idea of not worrying about subbing to play was a huge plus! Micro transactions really helped fund that game and it shows. Guild Wars 2 came out and i love how dynamic the game is. There are countless stories and interactivity between all the races where in wow it just seems to be just Alliance vs Horde with races that seem to be overused in other games. I could go on but you just wanted to know what other peoples 1st MMO was and this could turn into a WOW vs GW argument.

Anarchy Online was my first MMORPG - What's yours?
I never played GW1 but GW2 was incredible for me due to the lack of monthly fees. I purchased 2 of the expansions and they were actually very worthwhile.
I stopped playing GW2 about 6 months ago because no matter how much the devs try to force people to use all the content, there are always certain areas that become popular and people will do those things over and over and over rather than actually explore the full world.
I do like the fact that I can return any time i feel like it and the toons will still be there waiting for me though.
I have to admit that although i was never a fan of micro transactions, i did buy "gems" on several occasions. I think my total expenditures was something like $150 over the years. I knew guys that spent that much (or more) on the game every single month.
Oh, GW2 eliminated the "holy trinity" and in my mind, I missed it pretty quick. I liked being a support class such as a healer and for the most part, those classes don't exist in a pure sense in Guild Wars 2.
