Runescape, classic game, don't go on it very often any more but when I do I always have a pretty good time just with the nostalgia 
World of Warcraft ofcourse!
i still play it, after 4 and a half years i still seem to be enjoying it, but im drifting in to the world of CoD and L4D like games at the moment...

Ragnarok Online, I dabbled in Everquest around the same time but I just never got into it/ understood it. Played a ton of RO until I got banned. WoW beta came out, made my transition to WoW for all of beta-end of vanilla. Went back to RO for about 3 months, quit after items got jacked and GMs did nothing to help. Stayed in WoW through BC-Wrath quick half a year before cataclysm. Throughout this time I picked up various MMOs like City of Heroes/Villians, Age of Conan, Everquest 2, Final Fantasy 11, etc. Never really enjoyed them.
I'm pretty done with MMOs unless the formula changes drastically.

Runescape. That game had some awesome humour in it's quests, but the relentless skill grinding was really boring.
I moved on to Guild Wars after a few years away from RS, but I don't think I would have spent as much time playing it as I have if it weren't for the friends I was playing it with.

EVE Online was the first MMO I tried, a fairly brutal introduction to MMO's, especially given that I didn't do the tutorial, thinking it unnessescary. Fantasy genre on a whole I'm not interested it, so not many MMO's out there that appeal to me, tried a few other sci-fi MMO's and a few fantasy ones but nothing comes close to EVE imo.
Runescape, I mostly goofed off playing all the minigames, so it never really got into a grindfest.
Then I moved onto WOW (Pre WOTLK) , played it for about a year, quit, lost interest
Now after cataclysm I have been playing it again, and it certainly is a better game now, favourite zone so far being hillsbrad foothills.

Well first of all when I was a kid, I played Runescape after my friends introduced me to it.
Then I bought Guild Wars and its first expansion pack but didn't play it for long as I didn't have anyone else to play with online.
Finally I got WoW which was lots of fun at first until Blizzard started spraying bullshit everywhere with their patches released after The Burning Crusade came out and made my experience much harder. Then a month after I stop playing they clean up all the bullshit and make the game easier. This was my reaction... "WHAT THE FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF************!!!!"
Now I'm looking to play either the free LOTRO or APB when it comes out and also KOTORO when its out. I also have a small inkling of attraction to WoW again after Cataclysm came out.

I think technically Kingdom of Loathing was my first MMO, if it can be classified as such. Then, I played Guild Wars for a few years, and had a lot of fun with that one. I played WoW for a few years after that, and enjoyed the experience until I hit endgame content.
I just don't think I'm properly wired for MMOs. I love them up until I hit endgame, but I just can't bring myself to grind dungeons or PvP. Once I run out of new content to explore, I'm done.

My introductio to MMOs was two weeks of Requiem: Bloodymare (now known as Requiem: Memento Mori), a good looking but grindtastic F2P WoW clone from Korea. It taught me everything I know about action bars and fetch quests, and I still go back to it when I'm feeling very nostalgic.
These days I play City of Heroes and Fallen Earth, and I drop back into WoW maybe twice a year for a few weeks. I'm very reluctant to try any other MMOs since I don't really have the time to commit to the ones I already play, let alone more.
