WoW was the first MMO.

Actually the 1st MMO was call MUD (Multi-user dungeons). and these was way before WoW, infact Never Winter had mmo way before WoW, cause in 1991, that when Warcraft, human vs orc's was just starting up.


Maze something was to be the 1st in like 1970ish.... as for the 1st really rpg, was like "Island of ..." I forget it was strange name honestly - and that was the 1st game to use real time, and had thousand of players way before the internet was even easy to attain (you had to have a phone plug into your computer and you couldn't use the net and phone same time).

But newer generation might not even heard of these stuff and assume WoW was the 1st of it kind. and Sadly WoW took.

Heck Runescape was an MMO, way before WoW came out.


Just the food for thought before claiming something.

Indeed there was many MMO's before WoW and not just rpgs.

0/10, go try trolling someone on /v/.

Life is/was the first MMO. With a current player base of over 6Billion+ itis the hugest MMO today.
Being alive is being Online.
