First ever online game was a MUD called Gemstone. This was when it was on AoHell and you had to pay by the hour.

props to Gemstone! Was my first too. I actually got so addicted to it that I wrote my own version of it and ran it locally for a couple years. 16 phone lines for the win.

The Shadow of Yserbius, a game by Sierra which was probably one of the first graphical muds, it predated the internet. The game was released in 1992 and was available on floppy, you played it over dialup and had to call into the server. I still have the disk somewhere.

from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Shadow_of_Yserbius

In late 2007, the ImagiNation Revival Project succeeded in resurrecting the long-dormant ImagiNation Network by using the original client software coupled with DOSBox. The Shadow of Yserbius is now once again available for online play with all features, graphics, sounds, and such fully intact and functional. Macros are fully supported and compatibility with old character and map files is enabled for TSN/INN versions 2.4 and higher.

As a kid I dabbled in some mud that I cannot remember the name of and I never interacted with anybody. So I don't think that counts.

Next was Diablo I which I mostly played solo but did play with my brother a few times. But I don't really think it counts.

That leaves...

EQ

I remember watching a friend play Gemstone, which is kind of funny because it was all text =P

I think my first online game I played somewhat seriously was Myth the Fallen Lords. An awesome RTS created by Bungie years before they created Halo.

Myth was amazing. Loved the mini games dwarf bombing. KoTH was awesome as well.

My first was Diablo 1...still remember Assassins X.

Followed by Ultima Online then of course EQ.
