I don’t care much about world firsts in MMOs, but I’ve certainly been guilded with people who cared a lot, even before games started recognizing them and handing out badges for them. The bragging rights on some servers was worth it for them.
I’ve had a couple of world firsts in MMOs before, but I think they were mostly because of apathy on the part of other players rather than some personal drive. For some reason, when a game wants me to rush to something, my contrary side kicks in, and I just want to do the exact opposite, even if I could conceivably be the winner.
Do you care about world firsts in MMOs? Do you ever try to accomplish them?
