    Island of Kesmai on Compuserve.

    The game was free, but at the time you had to pay an hourly fee to use the Compuserve service. If you weren't careful, it could run up to $2000 a month -- IIRC, it was around $5-$10 an hour based on your baud.

    Anyway, it was a blast for the 10-15 minutes I could afford to play each day. image

    Maplestory, however I didn't stick with it.

    Until then, I played Drift City on Ijji and suck with it. I completed the story part of it and thought, forget the rest and deleted my account. Next thing I knew, Ijji blocked non US players so I was unable to get access to the game. I got lucky completing the story part of the game.

    Depends what you consider an MMO

     

    The Realm is the first MMO in my opinion so I would start there and it was purely social.

    Then Meridian. . great game. . loved the PvP and 3D world!

     

    Before that though: NWN on AOL, Darksun Online etc.  I do not consider these the same thing as you had to have an account with the company and then pay for the game apart from that. . NWN by the hour etc.

     

    Left the Realm for UO which I loved but my biggest love was Dark Age of Camelot.

     

    EDIT:  heh BBSs. . yeah Legend of the Red Dragon!

    Wa min God! Se æx on min heafod is!

    I think 10six was the first MMOish game I played.

    First graphical mmorpg for me was Meridian ~ However I played pen& paper d&d and a ton of forum games~Before actual forums we had some boards and such nothing all that Hot really before then.

     

    A man or "gamer" should look for what is, and not for what he thinks should be.

    The 4th Coming. It was an Ultima-esque 2d-ish game with 200 levels with 10 levels or reincarnate, called seraphs. I think there was only a handful of seraph 10s in the entire history of the game. I quit when I got sick of dying by stupid high level griefers and loosing all my gear and xp for my current level. It was a really rough death penalty, complemented by full open pvp no matter where you were, except in cities.

    Lineage 1, and no I didn't love it.  Played for about 6 months and got pissed at the nerfs (and lack of respecs) and gave DAOC a try and promptly fell in love with the world of Camelot.

    Albs forever!

Land of Devestation actually had a client to download so yuo could get all of 16 color graphics but both games you could encounter the other players characters and interact with them.

     

    I loved TradeWars on the single line BBS's, but when we had it real-time on a multi-line MajorBBS, that rocked. There were a couple of those big MajorBBS systems that also had local MUD-like games. (I ran a Telegard BBS with TradeWars and Usurper being the most popular door games among my users.)  AAAAAH! NOSTALGIA ATTACK!

    With that said, UO in 1997 was my first "real" MMO. And EQ was my first MMO addiction.

    Dark Age of Camelot.

     

    Still haven't found an MMO that balanced PvE/Crafting/and epic scale (and small scale) PvP so perfectly and tied it all together so that they all interact.

    Everquest 1 started before RoK expansion. Played that game with my friends for a very long time.. Best MMO ever!

    I got FFXI on the hard drive that they sold for the PS2 in the 90's. I originally bought it under the assumption that they were going to release new maps for SOCOM 2. They never did, so when I got bored of SOCOM one day I decided to install FFXI.

    Why I loved it? I always liked playing RPG's and played FF all the way back to nintendo. I was in awe the first time I logged in and entered San d'orian auction house area and saw all these people running around with little shells over their heads.

    The rest is history.

    Faldon.  All I remember is playing it with my best friend a long time ago.  He ended up failing out of college.  I wonder if that game still exists.

    Sadly it was the only MMO I've ever really enjoyed. I'm not playing any MMOs currently btw.. just sticking around hoping for something innovative... big let down.

    First MMO I played? Horizons.

    Why did I love it? Well actually I didn't love it, it was pretty bad. :) But the experience of playing a CRPG online, with all these other people running around, was compelling enough that it made me check out other MMOs, and find ones that I did love. I'd been playing single-player CRPGs for, oh, about fifteen years prior to that, so the step into massively multiplayer was a pretty exciting development for me.
