If that was a predecessor to Warlords Battlecry, I cheer a mighty cheer I loved Warlords Battlecry. Something about blending an RPG with an RTS, and before Warcraft 3 did it, was terrific. I still prefer WLB to WC3 |

Hello, and welcome to The Escapist. We're glad to have you. Always nice to get some new blood. Or, as my foreman at my construction job used to call me, young blood. Diablo II. Well, I did play Doom 3 on a LAN once, but first on the world wide web was Diablo II. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1452 Joined: 7 Sep 2008   | Starcraft for me- I was young at the time, and it was insanely cool to play. The only problem was that the friend I was playing with was tons better than me, so I either relied on him constantly or was being blown up by him (constantly). |

Muckraker  Posts: 299 Joined: 6 Oct 2008 | My first online game, I'm ashamed to say... would've been something along the lines of Runescape when it first came out... Ugh **throw up in mouth a little bit**... I was just so young! This was around the time that Runescape started, and all of my friends despised me for getting them into it and then ditching them for FPS not but several months later...Consequently, I can't play any MMORPGs these days, but have grown to focus on FPS, 3PS, and well... pretty much any genre of game excluding MMORPGs. |

It was! I believe Battlecry was a sort of spin off to the original series which was a turn based thingermajig. |

Same here. Buddy showed it to me,I got hooked, then I learned there was e whole new world out there. It opened the door for me, and I haven't looked back after I walked through. |

Ha ha, yes! |
Press Junketeer Posts: 361 Joined: 8 Sep 2008 | i dont remember if it was diablo or warcraft 2, but those were the first 2 i think. im not that old, i just started young. now excuse me as soon as i get over this nostalgia i need to find a dial up modem and a hammer. to this day i love RPGs and RTSs, and spookyness, maybe a darkish atmosphere is good. and the first online games were far from the first games i played, those would be zelda super mario and civilization. platformers are also very close to me. i dont allow turn based crack near me anymore though, i learned my lesson. |

This isn't nostalgia talking, Tribes 2 is my favorite game ever. 64 player servers, fully mod-able maps and browsers, ridiculous client and server-based gametypes. If Sierra Entertainment still ran the servers I wouldn't have ever bought a console. |

I think it was Starwars Battlefront, when I was 14ish. 1st Lan game was possibly Warlords (could you even play that over a lan? I can't remember).
1st post by the way, hello to you all. /waves
