[GamingYakamato]

where's tibia, it was out before ultima online.......

[shikkadance]

where was star wars?

[SketchHHK]

what is the name of the song?

[SteffersFavourites]

MMORPGs is the 2nd life for those that own a pc & the internet xD Perfect for me with no first life. I wonder what mmorpgs will be like in the future though. Will they be really fun or have some weird addiction effect but is unpleasing to play anyway.

[ohmynutella]

those poeple who where geek of 1980 to 1989 mmorpg, They sure gonna shit brick when they see what we play in 2011!

[kookieless]

[proudmary86]

[ilikewarhammer]

[RunTitan09]

[Boody006]

@RunTitan09 lol he forgot it because its gay

[RunTitan09]

FUCK YOU!

[Boody006]

@RunTitan09 two camels in a tiny car

[HSMSUCKS11]

@Boody006

Sorry, but you've lost the argument. not because you were right bout runescape being gay, but for following that retards(RayWilliamJohnson) advice.

[EvilChicobo]

Yup wikipedia has Realm at 1995, Meridian 59 at 1996, and then Ultima Online at 1997. So might want to research stuff instead of just pulling dates out of your bottom on some of these :P At least you got Ultima Online right =p

[EvilChicobo]

You're dates are off on some of these :P Everquest didn't launch in 1999 :P

And you forgot The Realm, which sierra launched before Ultima Online, and I believe before Meridian 59. Most don't know it but it was the first MMO.

[badarbiter]

@EvilChicobo Everquest was Launched March 16, 1999

[emuman4evr]

All MMORPGs today are exactly the same and suck.

[chaos01123]

mud wasnt out till around 1997 or 1998 and i think it was just them working on it and maybe they released a beta for few weeks then they worked on rs now called rs classic

[findernightrose]

wow vanguard but not EQ2? lol

[jairenj]

kewls!

[irvo18]

well he only put the mmo u have to pay to play not that free crap lol i like it forgot eq2

[TTINUHPLOTR]

They said brief, so obviously not all the mmorpgs are going to be included. >___>

[jkman10]

you forgot everquest

[wowfever]

its in 1995...

[Solado]

Ragnarok online should have got a mention ;[

[Darkfang38]

the 4th coming rocked and still many people playing around the globe ;)

[safeguard]

omg so games didn't evolve too much since 2003... huh I guess Lineage 2 will rule my heart forever...

[thrillzonevideos]

forgot runescape

[Zsnake1]

runscape was not even in there....and also runescape yes it is not the best but it is part of history so back off...

[drealm]

The only worthwhile mmorpg mentioned there was Ultima Online. You left out only two other good mmorpgs in history: Shadowbane and Eve Online.

[Death2Bigots]

MMO's are made of gay and lose, Emulation ftw.

[dmekster]

where is the ragnarok?

[JimNagle87]

oh no not the blue screen of death!

[MonsterMo44]

no diablo? diablo 2?

[Kaltyen]

Diablo is not a MMORPG.

[sabatocrab]

BSOD!!!!

[CGJNetworks]

Brand new MMORPG about to go into production- with major differences in principle to any other MMORPG ever made- production name is Earthscape, but I don't know for sure if that'll be it's final title.

[Uzzeli]

runescape is very poor man

[dommo808]

wheres dofus?

[Starwarsnumberone]

wheres the Maplestory?

and RuneScape?

[mdgeist84]

its brief history of mmorpgs noch complete...

[SilverAbsinthe]

runescape is a pile of shit, why would it be included

[MMORPGAddictAaron]

Well... You missed out on some games that rocked the gaming world. Guild Wars really shook up MMORPG addicts. Vanguard... Probably a downfall in MMORPGm it has weird graphics.

[ChocolatePieXD]

corum, flyff... come on flyff was and still is huge>.>

[callac]

Forgot City of Heroes!!!

[ShadowTheNightX]

nice vid....but i wonder how they even played the very first mmorpg it looked like all words and no pictures(i didnt understand that part)

[Oniryoko82]

pure imagination ^^

[mdgeist84]

true something like pen&paper without pen&paper ^^

[Oniryoko82]

I used to do T1 RP on Yahoo back in the day, my cousin was into MUDs though

[skateboarddude10]

nice vid by the way guild wars and world of warcraft ftw!

[mynrd99]

guys..stop dissing wow..... u guys suck FOR THE HORDE

[onlyadot]

thats right and ppl complaining about the graphics theres next to no load screens so it needs to do alot thats why the graphics are so bad i cant give a bunch of pro lingo but i can say that :P

[SnerryMONSTER]

MMORPGs are played by obsessive assholes who call you noob. Seriously, you have to play sooo long to even be good or have fun.

[boarizback]

1.28 is the best game...daoc...then warhammer will be better

[111Froggz111]

ya DAOC fo life i still play it the numbers have massively fallen :( all thanks to gay wow taking DAOC followers but i shall remain a sturdy one of Dark age of Camelot.

[boarizback]

MY GOD WoW IS SOOOO CRAPP!!

[BeautiDiva]

at the end when the computer crashed was lol

[mitch64321]

you forgot conquer :_(

[predestinados]

Lineage the best, waiting for kamael version

wow is just a rip off of lineage 2

[alwynnan]

Lineage 2 is great but i was quiet dissapointed logged in to the server aint much people :/

[soadbfme3]

world of warcraft kicks all mmorpgs guld wars is for people who are to poor to pay and ever quest just sucks balls and all the others are good to

[Whiting1289]

I know no one likes Rnescape. But you missed it out. it made a huge impact on the MMORPG world wether anyone likes it or not. i mean 9mil active accounts and over 1mil members can't be wrong.

it was the first MMORPG that was made to run on any computer. I mean there is a reason the run it on java -.-"

[zapy248]

ehh...I hate that game aand its robbed me&my friends many a hundred of dollars but it was there for me when I had a shitty computer....so you have a good point......-_-

[NarZhule]

Everquest - Best game ever made. Period.

[hackeruzu]

pls tell me the song's name

[Cloudo76]

Requiem for a Dream - Clint Mansell

[angu1sh]

L2 pwns them all

[Antzu313]

ummm... how about City of Heroes/Villains and Star Wars Galaxies?

[mdgeist84]

I know a lot of games are missing but in fact i made this video for a presentation and i was given only a very limitied amout of time so i tryed to give a "brief" overview about the most important games. sure there are a lot missing and maybe we disagree about the degree of importance of some games. but iam aware of these points ^_^ still

thanks for your comments i appreciate it

[Antzu313]

"apology accepted..." :D

[JohnTheKiller11]

@mdgeist84 swg was very important

[chrisworld2]

lol everyone says guildwars isnt a true mmo....well uh your painfully wrong Nodieus27

[Nodieus27]

You missed everquest 2 which came out same time as wow in 2004, also should have lotro after vanguard, and what about Ashreons Call, didn't that come out in 1999/2000? EVe onlins, anarchy, starwars galaxies. You missed a lot. Granada Espada isn't even out yet, not to mention its one of those crappy Korean micro trans-action games w/ crappy anime look. And Guild Wars isn't a true mmo.

[maxfmaxf]

very good work
