Neverwinter Nights
The very first graphical MMORPG. Neverwinter Nights on AOL was developed by Stormfront Studios and published by SSI.
Bridging the gap between single-player RPGs and the text MUDs that were played over the internet, Neverwinter Nights is considered a crucial title in establishing the concept of the MMO game. An online RPG which was played with 200 or more simultaneous connections, it ran on the AOL internet service for a number of years - charged first at an hourly rate of $6, the game was eventually shut down in 1997. It featured experience points and levelling up, combat ladders, guild competition, and developing role-playing gameplay.
