EQ1 - why? because I met so many great people on there, did amazing raids and dungeon crawls. Plus the way we all helped one another with epic quests is nothing like I've experienced in other games.

Pre-NGE Star Wars Galaxies and the Planetside beta. The former for its commitment to the sandbox ideal, the latter for being Tribes writ large.

Started with EQ-1...moved to EQ-II...then Vanguard and then back again. I'm hooked!

It was SWG, but even I finally had enough and left.
Now I'm thinking about PotBS or even seeing what was really so wrong with MxO.

Planetside. At least in concept.

My favorite SOE game is and will always be Everquest 1, it is the game that made me fall in love with the genre, and is still imo one of the only mmorpgs with amazing immersion.

EQ1, basically since that is the SOE game I had the most time with.

Pirates, because they are just more fun.

Gotta go EQ1. If it weren't for that game, I doubt if a lot of us would be here.

I love Planetside. It's a pvp MMO game that actually works - no complaining about levels and items giving unfair advantage. nearly all things are available when you sign in. Experience only gives a player more roles he can fill.

Not a big fan of SOE games but I did enjoy Matrix Online for a little while, but not enough continue playing. But that was 3 years ago and I will definitely check it out again if I win the package :)

Vanguard - I was a beta and early live player that loved the game, but couldn't handle the high specs and buggy early days.
I have now come back to this epic game, which has had some great work done, it still looks awesome, but is now a highly polished and content-loaded game.
I urge those that left Vanguard to give it another shot... you know it makes sense... :-)

EverQuest II
It was the first MMO where I actually felt like I was apart of a living and breathing world. Oh the memories.

It's a toss up between Planetside and SWG, but leaning more towards Planetside because I just love PvP and that's the most open PvP out there.
I'm still reserving my opinion on the Agency, although that game does look interesting for an MMO...of sorts.
