    Burning Crusade was the last MMORPG. Everything since then has been a bucket of streamlined water and dregs. Except maybe ESO <.<.

    UO/EQ might have been released before WoW, but they're not MMOs. Neither of them had raids, a leveling system or a function to talk to one and another online, the three main pillars in a MMO
    Even Diablo 2 had the ability to talk, interact, PvP, leveling system and there were boss raids. ;)

    Always not so entertaining entertaining when someone baits the forums in this manner. Especially so since I would guess most in the forum and playing ESO were not even born when the first commercial MMO was released.

    MUD's existed long before the first Warcraft game was ever released.

    Were you in Bangkorai the other day? I wonder if I ran into you there saying the same line, or if it was someone else troll baiting / sparking conversation in zone chat.

    Thats like 100% not true :smile:

    The sad part is I just picked an example from my gameshelf I'm pretty sure there were one or two before Ultima also.
    Yes, text based muds was far older, probably some other MMO out too, problem for the first ones was lack of internet connections.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    It's like the forums trolls don't even try any more... Remember when bait threads were actually subtle and smart?

    The sad part is the OP might just be naive enough to believe the tripe he posted *sighs*

    Btw, anyone else remember or also play Legends of Kesmai (1987) one of the first graphical MMO's, run by Gamestorm accessed via that horrid pay by the hour infant internet we had *shivers*?

    I am still waiting for the people who are protesting that the world is flat instead of a sphere. Yes, regression is a real thing now.

    Just in case anyone was wondering, World of Warcraft was the first-ever MMORPG-game.

    Oldest troll ever and you all fell for it. :D

    World of Warcraft - Released November 23 2004. It was definitely not the first MMO.

    Ultima Online - Released Sep 24 1997

    Everquest - March 16 1999

    Eve Online - May 6 2003

    If you're going to troll at least try to be a good troll.

    On more serious note, I cant believe game industry is losing so badly to Youtube. If I made an account for my Dog, he would get more follower than Blizzard. Game industry gotta go premium or no-one gives a damn about games or willing to pay for them in the future, yeah, how you can expect people pay 60 buck for a game when they can troll whole day on YouTube for free. Freaking Peasants get on it!
