It sounds like you're interested in old MMORPGs (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games) from the early days of online gaming. Here are some classic MMORPGs that defined the genre: Classic Old MMORPGs (1990s Early 2000s) Ultima Online (1997) One of the first true MMORPGs, known for its open-world sandbox gameplay. EverQuest (1999) A pioneer in 3D MMORPGs with challenging group-based gameplay. RuneScape (2001) A browser-based MMORPG that became iconic for its simplicity and depth. Dark Age of Camelot (2001) Famous for its Realm vs. Realm (RvR) PvP system. Asherons Call (1999) Known for its dynamic world events and monthly story updates. Lineage (1998) A Korean MMORPG that popularized large-scale PvP and castle sieges. Tibia (1997) One of the earliest open-world MMORPGs with a hardcore fanbase. Anarchy Online (2001) A sci-fi MMORPG with deep character customization. Final Fantasy XI (2002) The first MMORPG in the FF series, with a strong party-based system. Shadowbane (2003) A PvP-focused MMORPG with player-built cities and politics. Why Were These Games Special? Hardcore gameplay (no hand-holding, permadeath in some cases). Social dependency (required grouping to progress). Open worlds (no instances, full-loot PvP in some games). Emergent gameplay (player-driven economies, politics, wars). Are They Still Playable? Many of these games still have private servers or official legacy versions: EverQuest Project 1999 (classic private server). Ultima Online UO Outlands (custom private server). RuneScape Old School RuneScape (OSRS) (official 2007 version). Dark Age of Camelot Eden (free private server). Would you like recommendations based on a specific playstyle (PvP, PvE, sandbox)? Or are you looking for a particular type of old-school MMORPG experience?

Venture into the depths of Azeroth itself in this groundbreaking expansion. Face new threats emerging from the planet's core, explore mysterious underground realms, and uncover secrets that will reshape your understanding of the Warcraft universe forever.
The War Within brings so much fresh content to WoW. The new zones are absolutely stunning and the storyline is engaging. Been playing for 15 years and this expansion reignited my passion for the game.
The new raid content is fantastic with challenging mechanics. However, there are still some bugs that need to be ironed out. Overall a solid expansion that keeps me coming back for more.
