    Isn't the oldest video game in history the precursor to pong, written by some physics professor in 1957/58?

    OK, sorry for the nerdy akachewally, proof reading is a common issue on the website too.

    Lets not forget about what Runescape did for the 3D MMORPG world. :wink:

    No, WoW was the first computer game evar - there's a whole generation of WoW players that seriously believes that :wink: !

    Hm. Ultimate Online was the pioneer to MMO. The franchise of Elder Scrolls dates back to then but its far from the oldest MMO.

    As opposed to those who spot instantly what it's about but think the origin of MMORPGs is actually more interesting than a typo?

    If you're going to make that claim, you could at least get the name right :wink: ! There were, in any event, several MMORPGs before that one, and if we're talking simply MMOs then a gazillion MUDs would win hands down.

    Absolutely. I still have a MUSH that a few friends and I play. All out of my own mind, coded in PennMUSH. It's not huge, but it's been active since 1997 - which was when a friend introduced me to PennMUSH and a game in process of building; I knew nothing about coding at that point, and the game builders very kindly taught me what to do and how to do it. The game itself wasn't to my taste, but I really really appreciate to this day their willingness to help a totally clueless person understand.

    And that set me on my path to learning html and css. I'd actually love to learn real programming - but I don't seem to be able to afford the classes!
