The term "pioneering" had been edited from the article, and I have restored it. Kesmai was by FAR the biggest driving force in online game innovation from the beginning of the industry up through the 90's, long before Ultima Online and Everquest, and even before Neverwinter Nights. They did the first online game with graphics. I believe that calling them pioneering is therefore not POV, but an accurate use of the adjective for "one who explores and settles new territory."

[edit] Changed "text" to ASCII-based
The orignial Islands of Kesmai was more appropriately called "ASCII-based", and was similar to the Roguelike games (which I added as a link). The original text MMMORPG was MUD, co-written by Richard Bartle. This edit makes things clearer. (Anonymous message posted March 8, 2006 by User:63.194.180.42)
[edit] Mega wars III or IOK?
I played these on Compuserve quite a bit. I'll see if I can dig up some records to be sure, but didn't Mega Wars III predate IOK by a year or more? Both Kesmai products. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tournstone (talk • contribs) 03:12, 11 December 2006 (UTC).
