Old WWII Sea Battle MMO

I was just reflecting on some of the past MMOs I've played, and I can't remember the name of the very first game! I can't forget my first! ::::39::

Anyways, need some help to remember it. It was set in the World War II (Maybe I) time frame, it was all around battles between Submarines and Surface ships. I thought it was something like "Wolf Pack". I remember you'd rack up points which would increase your rank, the higher the rank the more ships became available.

Edit: I'm talking YEARS ago, this was among the first to spring up. I remember thinking it was the best thing since sliced bread because it had a persistent world. I think it was released after UO though.

    Sounds like you're talking about Silent Hunter II and Destroyer Command... god how I loved those games, lol. They were both sims based on WWII naval craft, and a pretty unique experiment in allowing multiplayer action between 2 different games- albeit that the 2 were basically the same code and they were almost certainly released separately to generate extra sales.

    It was a little buggy and some crucial features (like silent running in a sub) were broken, but I must have played hundreds of engagements both as a sub and as a Destroyer. The community over at subsim.com have modded and remodded these games for all they are worth and now, having been reminded, I'm tempted to reinstall them and play a bit...

    I see that Silent Hunter III is in development, and has currently been pushed back to allow the inclusion of a proper dynamic SP campaign. I only hope against hope that they will see sense and include surface ships in it so that I can get back to depth-charging the evil subs for all I am worth :P

    Actually, now that I've properly read your post and gotten my SH2/DC nostalgia out of the way, the rank-progression you mention make it sound more like Enigma.... just a thought

    *sigh* I said it was a MMO, Enigma, Silent Hunter, and Destroyer Command are not MMOs. It was never released in a box, and I don't think it was developed by a US company.
