The first MUD was born in 1979, and was compiled by Roy Trubshaw and Richard Bartle of the University of Essex in England using DEC System- 10.
The first graphic online game was UO.
The history of UO
Time is back to 1979, and the whole game industry is still in the age of ignorance. Richard garriott, a character worthy of players' memory, made his first graphic RPG Akalabeth, even two years earlier than the earliest commercial computer RPG Witchcraft I ―― Garriott's forward-looking thinking showed its edge. I (Ultima I, published a little later than Witchcraft 198 1) became the source of this vast novel. 1983, richard garriott and his brother Robert founded Origin Systems, and Genesis III became an instant hit, gradually forming their own "magic empire" among players. 1992, Origin was registered by EA. Genesis series has produced nine works in the course of nearly 20 years, which is one of the few masterpieces with the same reputation as RPG series such as Final Fantasy, Magic and Witchcraft. "We create the world", as advertised in Origin, the Genesis series has created a profound virtual world. Perfect models such as humility, honesty, compassion, bravery, justice, sacrifice, honor and spirituality are highly praised by players, and the pursuit of the realm of saints has become the main spirit throughout the series of games.
For Garriott, who is obsessed with RPG, the success of Genesis series will never be the fetters of his production career, let alone the end. He is always thinking hard about the future of RPG. Therefore, with the support of EA's strong financial strength, a brand-new architecture is quietly brewing. Finally, 1997 was born. Although the history of MUD is much earlier, even though 3D was half a beat earlier in the same year, the world's first online graphic MUD Meridian 59 was released. However, UO has indisputably become the first mainstream work in this new field. Unprecedented, it allows players to act online with hundreds of people at the same time, just like a grand social form, allowing players to explore this fictional and realistic British kingdom along the footsteps of the British king. Garriott also gained the reputation of Lord of England.
