Whats your main reason for playing a MMO game?

In these forums many people talk about things they enjoy in a MMO that they are playing so I thought it would be interesting to see what results we would see in a poll.
Cheers,

I voted "alternate reality" because that most closely entails all that I want. But many of the other options are part of that.
Basically, I want the fantasy of a world that's "magical", and I want depth in a worldly sense. "Living" in a fantasy world, but not just living, I want excitement, lore, and that feeling of ancient danger and mystery.

Great answer Amaranthar! I can see how many of the other options would be included in that.
Community interaction
Depth of content, objectives, options
Character progression/development

there are others but these are some of the main ones.
Yes I agree with this. It's exactly why I play MMOs. However, I have not found the mmo I would consider to be the "one".
Neither have I. UO came the closest way back in the early days, but I always considered it a very raw beginning loaded with social problems. But the right idea at it's core.
I haven't played an MMO in over 2 years now. Some of the stuff under construction might draw me in, but I don't really see the true Sandbox base that's needed for this.

I played WoW up until WotLK, played RoM for 2 years and now Rift.
I am F2P player. I support games when I feel they deserve my money and I want the items enough.
I don't troll, and I don't take kindly to trolls.
I envy your style as I only had patience to havdle a couple of characters. It was usually too time consuming for me to attempt to master every class.
Afraid this isn't appropriate to the "choose one" polling method.
I'd pick at least six, and maybe all of them.
Would be a nice 1-10 scale poll, if this website offered that option.

^ pretty much what I was going to say.

After those 10 years of playing mmorpg I became addiced to having imaginatory copy of myself in fantasy world. I am not doing it because I am somehow not satisfied with myself in real life, quite the opposite. But its maybe because I enjoy these times spent ingame more than time spent doing IRL things and I LOVE Fantasy

Yes Icewhite a scale system would have been ideal so my idea here was to try to make us think about the most appealing aspect and choose. Most options I'd imagine would appeal to many of us.
Ok, then divide "community interaction" as many ways as you divided "character development". :shrug:
If you're getting the impression that I don't think much of mmorpg.com's polling system, you just might be right.

Fun goes without saying when playing a game but you can select other if you wish. Almost all play MMO's for fun but there's aspects of the game that makes it fun. This poll is to see what mechanics within a game that people look for to make it a fun experience.
Rhino.
Several of the listed options and a couple that aren't on the list. I got into MMOs for a couple reasons. One, for the fun of it and two, because the game almost always is a different experience from day to day.
Then there are the community, exploration, etc.
Well... It used to be that I enjoyed the server wide communities that MMOs had but that has pretty much died in the post-WoW era so I don't find myself playing MMOs much anymore. Now you hardly talk to anyone except people you know or people in whatever guild you happen to belong to. Even in Guilds these days about 2/3rds of the guild never speak in most games. I remember in EQ talking to almost everyone I met along the way. Now if you talk to some random player you'll be extremely lucky to get a response at all. Community used to be why I played but the communities that these games used to encourage have all but died off years ago. It's kinda sad really.
Edit: Community interaction is really the only thing on your poll that is better suited to the MMO genre. Well... that and Raiding which I loath. Everything else is done much better in single player or limited multi-player games and always will be.

Entertainment that involves other individuals from all over the world collectively coming together to achieve goals in a game... I like games.
