    According to the internet Furcadia holds that title, and perhaps Tibia as well.

    Graphical mmo's yes.  But muds were out long before and yes they were mmo's.
    Are you onto something or just on something?

    Kingdom of Drakkar is still going and it was launched in the mid 80s I think.

    Kyleran:  "Now there's the real trick, learning to accept and enjoy a game for what it offers rather than pass on what might be a great playing experience because it lacks a few features you prefer."

    John Henry Newman: "A man would do nothing if he waited until he could do it so well that no one could find fault."

    FreddyNoNose:  "A good game needs no defense; a bad game has no defense." "Easily digested content is just as easily forgotten."

    LacedOpium: "So the question that begs to be asked is, if you are not interested in the game mechanics that define the MMORPG genre, then why are you playing an MMORPG?"

    Features
    -no monthly fees! ( you are dreaming...... unless you live in your mom's basement)
    -massive world to explore (except that is has all been explored, and mapped, and fully owned already)
    -incredible NPC AI ( artificial intelligence is incredible, regular intelligence not so much)
    - over 56,4000 character archetypes ( one only slightly more boring than the other)
    - fully pvp ( except that if you touch anyone you go to jail..... sometimes even when they previously agreed to the touching)
    - highest resolution graphics ( yes, the most boring shit ever in the highest resolution possible).

    Excessive Death Penalty.
    If I may to add:
    - Sandbox MMORPG (player choices affect the world).
    - Fully destructible world.
    - Large scale PvP (Nation Wars).
    - Player driven economy.
    - Political systems (election and such).
    - Religion systems.
    - Perma-death system, you only have one chance to play the game.
    - Marriage system (you can have children).
    - Pre-destined character appearance, you won't find two persons or more exactly have same appearance.
    - Is a Pay to Win game.

    Furcadia is more like Second World, a social MMO with furry creatures. Not exactly a MMORPG...

    You are right on Tibia though, I didn't think it was that old. Running non stop (apparently) since Jan. 1997, so quite a few months before UO.

    So Tibia is it - all hail the king, long may he live :)
    UO is still the (much!) better game though ;)
    You mean Second Life?

    I prefer casual MMOs games.  I don't have 24 hours a day to play.

    I self identify as a monkey.

    Aye :)
    Ive never played any of those 3, but UO I've been reading out since it launched back in 1997, whereas I had never heard of the other two until the last few years on these forums.

    I'm thinking UO was the far more popular title, at least here in the West.
