I did play vanilla, but I joined late and I never reached max level during retail. Before that I played som weird mmo's including something called Knights online, gunz and Runescape. Started playing wow and never looked back.
Joined in MoP, when WoW came out I was only 5 years old so I wouldn't be able to play it very well. :lol:
I played ToonTown Online back when I was much younger, quite a while before I played WoW. Then I got into CoD during World at War and Black Ops.
Then I transferred over to PC, and eventually got into WoW :biggrin:
I started to play Guild Wars in 2005 and I started to play on Pserv when patch 2.3 was released, so for some time I played both games, and I switched to official servers at WOTLK release. I stopped playing GW short after GW:EN came out and I stick to WoW from that time, until Cata ruined world PvP.
Ragnarok Online was my love before WoW was released. Also I played some Counter Strike, Diablo and Playstation off course :)

Gunz, I forgot about that game. Man butterflying was a bitch, could never get it.
WoW (I started just before TBC) was my first ever PC game, maybe apart from like Duke Nukem and Jazz Jackrabbit. I think at the time I would have been flat-out playing my PS2, probably Tony Hawks and GTA.
I started playing WoW a few months after TBC came out. Between 2004-2007 I was mostly playing Runescape, Diablo II, Unreal Tournament 2004, a Korean FPS game called Warrock, Pokemon on the GBA/DS, and Super Smash Bros. Melee on the Gamecube. Good times were had.
D2, SSB:M, Pokemon, Unreal 2004... my MAN!
I was late to the Vanilla party, started in the fall of 2005 I think.
Before WoW there was WarCraft 3: TFT, before that there was Diablo2: LOD, before that there was SC2: BW. Next to that there was Counter Strike.
At least those were the big time spenders. Back then anything Blizzard made was golden, in my opinion.
Of course there was lot's of single player stuff to play in between, but I had a group of friends in school whom I always played these games together with. The nice thing is, gaming is one of the things that held our little group together. It's been 22 years since we all met, but we are still the best of friends and game together, right now we play some League of Legends for the fun of it. We are terrible at it these days but having a blast.
Unreal 2004
I used to play single player with bots back in the day, was a great fun game. Loved it!
