Man, I’ve played so many, there’s no way I can possibly remember them all, but I wanted to do a list, for the sake of comparison. I split them into Retail/Mainstream MMOs, and Korean/Independant MMOs (there are WAY WAY too many of these, more then likely I’ve played 30+ of them that didn’t even make it on the list), so here’s a copy+paste from my comment there: [...] [...] Ethic over at Kill Ten Rats posted a list of the MMOs he’s played that he remembers.

3 Current NDA betas

Now, if you want to get technical, I can list (some, probably not even all) Korean/Asian-territory MMOs and independant MMOs. Most of these are free to play, or I only beta tested them, so I’ll note if I actually paid for them:

ArchLord
Dark Ages
Dofus
El Kardian
Endless Ages
Face of Mankind
Flyff
Fung Wan Online
Furcadia (*shudder* this was back when I was 12 or so and I didn’t know what a furry was. Now I know better.)

I can think of at least 10 or 20 nameless Korean MMOs I’ve played.

They’re like candy, I play them for an evening, and then forget about them. They’re all the same. I only really play them for the aesthetics at this point in time.
