I think it's worth a (brief) mention, but correct me if I'm wrong. The .Hack// series of games was the first single-player MMORPG, as redundant as that sounds; you played a character playing a character in a fictional MMO wwhen all hell breaks lose and players fall into a coma.
Pretty awesome.

Now are we sticking to just computer games or can we argue in favour of the old school too? I mean you haven't roleplayed with out having tossed dices and descriped what you do.
Or the game that Warcraft takes a load of influence Warhammer.
But if we stick to just MMORPG's, I couldn't care less.

The first MMO wasn't Everquest. It was Neverwinter Nights. Not the Bioware game, but the AOL-only Gold Box MMO. I seem to recall that one of the heads at AOL used to drop into the game as Lord Nasher.

It seems like such a long time ago, but I remember in elementary school (+10 years ago) when seemingly everyone played NeoPets (way back when it first came out). It was an online MMO, but I'm not sure if it was an RPG, I can't really remember too much.

[url=#user_comment_73549]@pong[/url] Actually, that's a good point, usually newfags consider the oldest thing they can remember to be the first, or at least, the most commercially profitable.
For instance, did the Wright Brothers create the first flying plane? Lol nope, but theirs was the most successful (at the time).
Do people just assume the first oldest thing they've heard of in a specific subject is automatically the oldest?

@Ze Spy: F2P accounts can't give items in trade, only receive. Unless they changed it recently, idling in newly created F2P accounts would be a useless "activity".

Is this even possible to idle now than there is an item cap?
I heard people are setting up F2P accounts for that. That's sad.
And now than I think of it, idling means you're not playing, how can you read kids if you're just running a program/softare in the background?

While WoW was not the first and clearly took inspiration from earlier MMOs, it's hard to argue that it wasn't the first to get it "just right," and made eleventy zillion dollars. By the way, Jo, that tie won't work for a formal cocktail party. Get a black one. Red, maybe.

Ultima Online isn't the first or even the second MMORPG.
And no, MU*s are not commonly accepted as MMORPGs. The term could technically be applied, but MUDs predate the term "MMO" and it is commonly applied only to graphical games.
