Just curious. And for fun.

How many people here have been "day 1" players for other MMO's
I was a day 1 player Ultima Online ( IMO the Granddaddy of all MMO's) ,Star Wars Galaxies, Naritus Pre 9 Jedi,
Star Wars The Old Republic.....
I played Wow for 10 years but wasn't a day 1 player.
Never played FFx...or Ever Quest or Guild Wars.
Day 1 being launch or Alpha or Beta ….
*added after thought*
I think there is a huge advantage for early players especially when it comes to housing, most especially non instanced housing. I've left several MMO's with Archage being the most recent because I couldn't even get a plot to farm in, it sucked.
It was really bad in Ultima Online until they created Trammel ... Star Wars Galaxies had a huge play world that it wasn't an issue at all.

DDO, GW1(My first day one game), Aion, Tera, Wildstar, ESO.
I was also day one in many expansions for games like WOW, FFXIV.
I have been alpha/beta in:
ESO, Crowfall, Mortal Online 2, Ashes, Dual Universe, Star Citizen.
I like to see games progress from the start. I don't mind dealing with a buggy game if I see the game progress. It is only when a bug has existed for years that I get mad.
If I had more time, I would write a shorter post.
(Alpha or Beta in pretty much every MMORPG I've played since EQ.)
Its more of an immediate advantage that gives something to start with.
