Runescape in 2001 when it was released. Moved on to RO with a guild that I found and from there spread to various games like Fairyland online, Conquer online etc. Played close to a hundred MMOs since then.
iRO beta, early 2003. I took a few months off from RO after beta ended, and played Mu Online a lot. Eventually, I went back to RO and played it continuously for 8 years. I tried other games as well, like FlyFF, but nothing ever recreated that feeling RO provided.
Runescape. I played that 2004 and later Flyff.
Tibia and Ragnarok Online, in 2005. Good times.
Ragnarok Online - 2002.
Played a knight(60~ LvL) leveled in prt_maze01 ( I belive 
)
Not sure if it counts but Diablo 2. Introduced me to the online multiplayer and RPG elements that solidified my love of the genre. Though I was so young that I was completely lost.
I didn’t truly grasp MMORPG until World of Warcraft, which was a pretty immense experience for being my first. I remember running into Ironforge for the first time as a lowly mage gnome, seeing the size of the statues at the entrance and nope’ing right out. I just wasn’t ready to comprehend the size of the game yet.
I wish I could return to such innocence again.

After bit of research think i played RO from around 2002 to 2004.
Found the game inherently charming i managed to find lots of fun ways to level.
Still remember sitting in the safe cross in the middle of glastheim churchyard while waiting for the mana to recover to go out and healbomb couple of high lvl undeads again.
Later at higher lvls as a priest went there again and did my own community service mana restore parties to support the low level acolytes and then when the dark lord boss spawned hunting it, good times.
My first MMO was a game called Legend of Ares . As where I started in 2013 at age 13 and it was a wonderful experience for my first time of PC gaming. The combat was very simple and grindfest of a game but the thing that really pulled me in was the community itself with the concept of two sides called Empire and Alliance waging war against each other. So yeah there was a lot of PK-ing but the feeling of a guild as a family or overall the side you was on felt great like you had hatred for the other side you was against so that feeling. (Yeah not real hatred just that into it so RPing I suppose) Loved it.
I was a beta tester for the original Maple Story, which was probably my best experience beta testing I’ve ever had. I also played Toon Town, Ragnarok Online, Furcadia, and Runescape. I have probably played a lot of others that just didn’t embed themselves in my memory so readily. I wish I had registered in time to be part of TOS’ beta, but I am a patient one.
Mine was the original WoW, then Ragnarok Online. My Sage was amazing Q~Q
RAGNAROK ONLINE!!! 2002 and Gunbound 2004
The first MMO I played was T4C (The 4th Coming) back in 2001 I think.
Followed by Ultima Online for some years, then Ragnarok Online ^^.
I went back to those many times. They are the only MMO I’ve truly enjoy and been able to play for so many years.
First Mmorpg I played was angels online it brings back so many memories
Ragnarok Online! I played in iRO and XileRO.
Shout out to all members of The Seraphic Legacy! Hope to see you in ToS.

I guess I’m “older” because my first MMO would have been before the internet on BBSes Called Tradewars. My first MMO was text based MUDs. 
My first was Ragnarok Online… back in 2002 haha. Those dial-up days…
