I am just a little curious to know where everybody comes from around here. I have a sordid gaming past. I started playing Flight Sims like Wing Commander and FreeSpace, then moved to RTS like Command & Conquer, and the last game I played was ... I dont know if I should tell you...
...Counter-Strike. AAAAAAAAAAAa.... I know. A CSer. /me hides in shame.
The things that RPGs always did wrong (Stand still... I shoot you, you shoot me, then I shoot you, then you shoot me, then I heal, then you heal, then I shoot you...), in my oppinion, are exactly what GW does right.
So... Where ya'll from?
What did you play before GW?

LOL, now that's a good question right there. Just going off of PC games, then that would be SimCity 3000 Unlimited 
Console games though is an entirely different story. I haven't gotten any new games for my Gamecube/PS2/SP/NES/N64 recently, but the last one that I had put any major time into was The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age (which was a pushover if you ask me), and Kingdom Hearts on PS2.

On my computer I've played cs for about 3 years. Recently I played KOTOR 1, Prince of Persia and the first 2 Splinter Cells.
I mainly play console rpgs, though. Faves would be the Chrono Series, Final Fantasy 6 and Shadow Hearts Covenent. Lately I've been playing Devil May Cry 3 and I can say that game kicks my arse.

Oldest games played to newest, timewise:
long time ago: Quake, Duke3d etc....and also, MUDs, oh and Commodore 64
yes I'm old enough to have owned one of those lol. Atari, Nintendo, Super NES, Nintendo 64. And then I stopped console gaming. I liked the feel of PC gaming far more.
Command and Conquer Red Alert 2/Yuris Revenge
Diablo2, then Diablo2 LoD
Counterstrike waaay back 1.3 or before...to 1.6
Counterstrike: Source
Currently, Day of Defeat and then Day of Defeat: Source, and of course, Guild Wars. I dont expect to add any new games anytime soon thats for sure. There have been many other games, but these are the notables.

Multiplayer games?
I've played most singleplayer FPS games released in recent years.
As for internet games:
Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne
Counterstrike: Source
I play those two religiously...and still do.

If we're talking mmorpg's I've played quite a few, but my most recent was World of Warcraft. Unlike a lot of people here, I don't think it was an awful game. I enjoyed it quite a bit, but there was just too much about Guild Wars that was better (not the least of which is the lack of a subscription fee). I'm now in the process of trying to get my friends on WoW to convert to Guild Wars... Not an easy task. They're all huge skeptics.
Enix
Actually, I am curious to know what besides mmorgs you have played.
Come on, baby. Let me get to know ya better.

I dunno, that's a pretty big question. A little bit of everything, really. At the moment, I'm working on Growlanser Generations and thinking of picking up God of War.

I've played EQ, Dawn of War, Halo, mutliple MUDS, Doom 3 and numerous other games on the PC.
On consoles, I've played way too many to list.
GW is my current all time fav though.

After rotating between Disciples II:DP + expansions, starcraft and D2 on the PC bought Sim City 4 and played it for a week....then I found the Elder Scrolls III: Morrowing in the box that came with my computer. I tried to enjoy that game, I really did...maybe it was too old or something because I gave up on that pretty fast two.
Before and during all that, I played all the Zeldas on my N64 and GC. Zelda is my favorite title...and since the next one doesn't come out until this june, I started to look for something else to occupy my time. That's what brought me to GW actually, because I described the perfect game to my friend at EB games and that's when Guild Wars came up. So, now I'm obsessed. Simple, really.
P.S. I'm probably the only one, but I love waiting for GW to come out. It reminds me of the times I used to get really excited about games and systems coming out, and trying to earn enough money to buy them. 'tis a good feeling to have back.

I've played quite a few games. Right now I'm on a quest to beat all of the Legend of Zelda games, I'm a big fan of the series, and I have three down (OoT, WW, and...the first one) with three more in progress (LttP, LA, and AoL [that's the second one]). Anyway I'm a long time console gamer mostly because up until this year I've had a mac and only one phone line. Guild Wars is my first big game.
Lol, just yesterday I beat Super Mario World for the first time!
I have an NES, SNES, N64, Sega Genesis, Sega Dreamcast (bought it at full price just before it took the huge fall...kinda sucks...), a PS2, Game Boy Color, and GBA. Well, that's me um...try Mr. Mosquito, Guitaru Man, other crazy Japanese games you guys, it's a great gaming experience and something really new as compared to other game genres!

Well what lead me to mmorpgs was the pen & paper rpgs of old.First was Marvel superheroes,some of D&D,and various Palladium Books releases.Played the original Guantlet at the arcades when it first came out.I basically have tried and played just about every genre of games out there.Most likely I'll be a kid at heart for life.I am totally amazed at the technological marvels that todays games employs.And I can just imagine what the future holds for all of us gamers

I enjoy Super Metroid, Terranigma, Soul Blazer, Diablo 1 with Hellfire, Unreal Tournament, Castlevania 2, Zelda 2, Goonies 2, and Final Fantasy VII.
The last game I played was probably Super Metroid a month ago, I completed it, can't concentrate on other games when I have Guild Wars. :S

Hmm... well, I'm a big fan of the Legend of Zelda series, as well as the Myst series. I even beta tested the short lived Uru: Ages Beyond Myst (which still exists as an online game, but in a drastically reduced fashion... but it's still fun). I've got several from the Final Fantasy series, and the Sonic the Hedgehog series is good for a cathartic frenzy of smashing stuff. Katamari Damacy is a more recent love of my life.
And just to prove I'm not only taken by franchizes, I really enjoyed UbiSoft's Beyond Good and Evil. Basically, I like doing stuff, I like looking at stuff, and I like moving around and talking to people while doing and looking.

Played starcraft for a long time, for me (and for many others ) it was the best gaming time ever when the game was at its peak... Huge community, fast and agressive gaming style, korean uberownage, ... Those were the days

I am not a big consoler, but I could still run through any of the Sonic games wth my eyes closed, Oddworld : Abe's Exodus, Tetris (), Animal Crossing (still playing after almost 3 years!), Zoo Keeper (for the DS)...
I think that's about it. there are many other games peppered within those I listed, but those are my faves.
