Yeah, I played that for a while because some of my friends were playing it too.

 

[SovietSecrets]

Ragnarok Online, first online and MMO game.

 

[Woem]

My first online games were Quake 1 and Jazz Jackrabbit 2, around 1998. This was on a 56K modem so Quake didn't run all that fast, but Jazz Jackrabbit was the bomb!

Jazz Jackrabbit? Online? Oh God did I miss out...

Actually there is still a vibrant community around the game (which is also available for Mac!) at Jazz2Online [http://www.jazz2online.com/J2Ov2/]. The game is far from dead

WoW. Never have been that much into online games.

 

[Don't taze me bro]

Hmm. I know i played the original Doom and Warcraft: Orcs vs Humans over dial up modem. The first game I played against strangers online was either Quake or Rise of the Triads.

I played Doom against my brother through its LAN feature, but for an actual online match it would be C&C: Red Alert.

When you say online does that include on consoles? Because if so, I'd say COD 4.

Second Life was the first "playable" computer game/program I ever had on my computer.
If you're talking game games then Ragnarok Online which came shortly after SL.

Now a days I play World of Warcraft.
