What was your first online game?

What was your first online game?

...

FlyFF. It was really bad in retrospect, but the online made it really novel to me so I played a lot longer than I should have.

Honestly I don't know.
I'm inclined to believe the first game I played multiplayer was Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds on MSN Gaming Zone, though.

99

I'm an old man.

AoE2

First one i put alot of time into though was r6 raven shield

What was your first online girlfriends IGN?

don't remember

maybe runescape

An amazing experience. Well back then anyway.

Priston Tale, I think it was kind of a diablo clone, but damn, it was pretty cool

club penguin

runescape.
some filipino kid at school was telling me about it and confused the shit out of me. he said something about losing his fishing net so he was asking villagers for another. i thought he was somehow asking npcs for a net and i couldnt comprehend a dialog system that sophisticated.turns out he was asking other people.

Team Fortress Classic. It was wonderful.

CS 1.6 when I played over at my cousin, but the first online game I played was Club Penguin

started in 2007

aids, pool, etc.

Fishing levels?

CS 1.5

my first was probably Tibia, around the 7.1 version. I remember spending 2h+ just talking shit in the center of Rookgaard.

toontown

what a shit game honestly

diablo 2

Mu Online

...

Ragnarok Online

wasted 3 years of my life into that shit

Diablo 1. I remember I blew my dad's fucking mind when I was chatting with some foreign dude in broken english.

Those were some interesting days.

Doom, via ZDaemon when it was fairly new. I remember having my best friend over for a sleepover and we discovered it and were amazed that we could play together online. It was crazy.

Argentum Online

Habbo Hotel.

This

Byond, did a lot of icon making and met a nice group of people.

I fucked loved RO. RO2 on the other hand can fuck right off.

Fuck Graal Online was the shit.

During high school (I'm an oldfag and internet was still new at the time) some kid told my brother about Runescape. For whatever reason before that point it never occur to me that the internet could be used for fun instead of research and information.

starcraft
friend showed me the game and then later helped me make an account on battle.net and got me into his clan

Runescape came around in like 03/04. You were in highschool, so that puts you around mid/late 20's

Internet was not new at the time. Get off my lawn.

It was a MUD at one point.

Runescape came out in 2001.

In beta, it didn't go public till the end of 01, so even then you could maybe infer 02 as part of the public life. Unless both his brother and the other kid were cutting edge gamers, and he himself decided to jump on the train before it left the station, you're easily looking at 03 as the relative time frame he started playing in, earliest.

Either way that's not 'new at the time' for the internet. I was on fucking BBS' larping in the 80s. Get the fuck off my lawn.

Also I'm fairly certain he would have identified that he played the MU* version of the game in his post as he was trying to establish 'cred' of being an old internet type.

>Runescape
>internet was still new at the time
>I'm an oldfag

Lol its so good

hey be nice, it's september

Guild Wars 1
Great game

unreal on a dial-up connection at university. owner of computer passed out and we found gay porn in his history.

I think mine was Diablo.

Maybe Command and Conquer Tiberian Sun.

I knew this picture would come to use. But yes, started playing Habbo Hotel around 2005. Good fucking times.

command n conquer via modem

then uo.

neopets, habbo, runescape

Delta Force

Pretended to be a girl in FFXI a lot. Funny shit.

Repeated this in FFXIV, but it just wasn't the same.

Ahhh the good old day of the internet

Who else played The Colosseum in Balamb Garden on Palace 32?

diablo, but were you asking for first mmo or something? if so, tibia
>hunting giant spiders in poh for first time

Samurai of Legend if that even counts. Still a pretty great game but the community's long dead

Descent, followed by doom the same day. Dial up to my cousins computer which was also my neighbor.

Quake deathmatch

Ultima Online was the first and only MMO that I remember fondly though

Counter Strike 1.5

Not counting flash games, probably brawl.

>heading to Venore
>battlesign appears
>suddenly giant spider rushing at me from off-screen
>IT'S FAST

Worms World Party

THPS4 for PS2

How many BRs did you run into?

This.

Remember how pimp you felt when you had a 64k modem?

the flash game where you're on the moon

This is the first I'm hearing of it. So is this whole game just Square assets put together?

Tribal Wars

for mmorpgs probably Runescape, tibia, tibia was hell i think there was a chart that shows like 1.4% of the playerbase spoke english

Rainbow Six 3

Voice chat on Xbox live blew my 14 year old mind.

Moonbase on maidmarian was the shit

It could be a private server, but it was a blast that i want to live again.

Loved this game, LOVED it.

Microsoft Ants

It was the shit, too. Can't believe how well it ran on dial-up.

omg, this one was so fun to play. i love you user.

>someone roped dragon lord INTO venore
>its slaughtering players

Yeah. The Palace 32 was a program that could host different chat servers, which were basically a complex (in some cases) design of different rooms to hang out and chat in, with avatars you could use. Anything from small sprites people would RP battle with, to preppy jock models people would cyber sex with, even to full blown anime scenes/characters that would just chat in rooms with similar minded peers. Among the complexities in the chat servers, one of them was named Balamb Garden.

It featured the exact same layout, and use of the same pre-rendered backgrounds you found in the actual Garden in FF8. The default entry room was Squall's Dorm, and you could navigate through the entire garden from there, including many side quests from chocbo racing, to card playing from FF9 and FF8. And, also a Colosseum, which featured two sides of characters that could battle against eachother.

It went from 1v1 to 5v5, and you could have teams that would include Squall, Cloud, Rosa, even characters from Chrono Cross and Xeno Gears.

Runescape.

Cutiepet, "she" had a piss fetish and we'd cyber every time she got on. That's all I remember.

Adding in, they were all player characters, no NPC's, though there was a 5 man team you could put together for a Crystal Quest in the server that would put you against NPC boss battles. It was back in the Dial Up days, and often the battles would take a few hours in completion, and a disconnect would fuck the entire quest up.

Everyone would reset their modems before committing, it was pretty fun.

Runescape 2. 3D graphics on any piece of shit computer with dial up was mind blowing. It's the game you could play at your grandmother's house even. Reliable and all the cool kids played it.

Black ops 1 was my first

ettooooo

>It's been 10 years
Where does all the time go?

A poker game on the aol website.
MMO? Either maple story or runescape.

Does Darkthrone count?

...

Not sure, it was a very long time ago. But I freaked out when I realized people were talking and shit, and when someone greeted me I panicked, quit the game, uninstalled, and never tried another MMO ever again.

gaia online

fuck, its been so long.

Mandatory go back to gaia, etc.

Quake

Ooooohhh

my nigga

...

Are you really smoked???? The smoked?!

MU online

Does LAN count? if so Quake 2
If not Everquest or Starsiege Tribes probably, maybe Starcraft but I don't think I played that online until much later.

Mechassault on the Xbox, right around when Live came out. Or maybe Battlefield 1942. One or the other. I miss when playing a game online with other people felt like some sort of crazy, connected experience. Everyone talked. Everyone played together. It was a commutative, bonding experience with complete strangers who you've never met and never will meet again. Now it means next to nothing.

What happened?
