Evolution of the Community

  The MMORPG genre has been around for a very long time.  Depending on where you personally credit the genre's beginning, we're talking about at least 13 years.  I personally credit a game which I've found most mmo players these days never even knew about, Meridian 59, which would date the mmorpg as far back as 1995!  Since then more and more game developers have caught on to the potential of this genre and began to innovate and dare I use the term, copy their way into the market. As the genre's community of players grew almost exponentially over the years, the developers have been able to open communications with their players and learn what they like and what they don't.
