KSB2424 3,082 Posted October 17, 2017 Seriously? Ok honestly, I think Ive heard of it.....maybe. Like it rings a bell, but I have zero idea what it looks like or what the point of the game is. Im assuming it was before my time. Sorry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is a contributing factor to the difficulty of getting serious participants to these drafts. FPS is not an obscure acronym and is an extremely popular genre of video games.

iam90sbaby 2,122 Posted October 17, 2017 My first pick will be the only game on the list that I personally have never played, but I know how important it is in the history of gaming. Before there was World of Warcraft the original open world game was RuneScape. Without RuneScape there would be no Elder Scrolls or WOW. They were the original creators that showed us just how massive and in depth a game could be. Keep in mind this was released in 2001. It truly was groundbreaking. Here are some RuneScape notables: -The most played video game -Most updated game -Over 200 million users and still one of the most active games online since its creation in 2001 -Most popular F2P game in the world -Basically number one in any category Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All 3 were Open World. Ultima online (and Richard Garriot who is one of the founders of cRPG's) was the first mainstream MMO in 1997 Everquest and Asheron's Call followed in 1999 WOW followed the EQ model and had exactly zero in common with Runescape (I have played MMO's since 1994 fwiw) Runescape followed the Ultima model a little more with the Freedoms of Asheron's Call ESO followed a little bit of EQ mixed with its own game world, I'd say it is most similar to RIFT of any other title as far as first and longest running MMO Meridian 59, still going Runescapes' numbers are artificially inflated as they have counted the same account by last check over 6 times each still its a good pick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ultima and Meridian have both had numerous developers and stints of being offline. Doesnt count as longest running. Both are also a blip in the radar in comparison to RuneScape. And are you really saying WOW wasnt influenced by RuneScape? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MTSkiBum 1,593 Posted October 17, 2017 Doom December 10, 1993 Wolfenstein 3D May 5, 1992 I knew that Wolfenstein was first which is why i included "popular" in my post. Maybe, popular is incorrect as well. But it is the first FPS that many people played. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TD Ryan2 314 Posted October 17, 2017 yeah - yeah - I knew Wolfenstein was first too... but DOOM was an even bigger commercial success and went across more platforms... if you're gonna' take Wolfenstein over Doom, then you may as well go all the way back to Duck Hunt.
