Mine would be something like:
"How would you feel about reliving the glory days of the greatest MMORPG ever made? Well set your clocks back fifteen years time... This is Project 1999." [fade-to-black] | ||

Let me just go ahead and apologize in advance, in case this thread sucks balls and should have never been posted in the first place.
Thanks <3 | ||

Relive the classic experience of Everquest! The foundation that every MMORPG is built upon today.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultima_online (September 1997) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everquest (March 1999) UO's development cycle likely overlapped with Meridian's, but Meridian beat them to the punch by a full year. Everquest's development cycle was well under way by the time UO released, starting sometime in 1996. That's not to say they didn't pull ideas from UO, but it was hardly the foundation. I'd argue the real "mmo foundation" is a combination of these three games, with the majority coming from EQ. Also, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MUD#DikuMUD ^The first real MMO, along with its respective spin-off code bases, and the prior code's released before it (but DikuMUD was the first base that really felt like an MMO, in my opinion). Without this, it's unlikely anyone would have even tried making a GUI MMO to begin with. Project 1999 tagline: "You're in our world now" | |||

UO - 1st.. EQ - Second Meridian - Never.. I think Daoc actually would be third. | |||

We don't really have a timeline for that "first to 100k" number, though my understanding is it was less than a year after release, which would put us somewhere between March 1998 (6 months) and September 1998 (1 year). Quote:

My point being that if you're going to try and call Ultima Online the "foundation" for modern MMO's, you need to give as much if not more credit to Everquest as well. It wasn't any one game, it was a combination of several that give us our WoW's and EQ2's and SWTOR's. Quote:
