MMOs have come a long way in the past twenty years. Back in 1995, Meridian 59 did something unique. It brought MMOs into full 3D worlds. It launched with a monthly subscription, but eventually went open source and free. Now Meridian 59 is available to a much wider audience.
A list of the oldest MMORPGs in gaming history.
There have been quite a number of mmorpg games that have come and gone over the years. Some of them have been quite good, a majority of them average, and a number of them mind-numbingly awful. Yet gamers have cheerfully logged into these games in the hope of high adventure and immersion in a digital fantasy world. While most online games have provided some nice memories and enjoyable gameplay, there are those games that have had a major impact upon online gaming. Without these games, it might be difficult to imagine what the digital landscape would look like today. To that end, MMO-Play offer this list of the top five most influential mmos.
Meridian 59 has always defined itself by its community. But is that community enough to keep the game kicking as it moves into the great unknown of open source?
