Nowadays there are tons and tons, of stories about MMORPG, I know this is a forum of anime, but which was the first story about MMORPG? a manga? a anime? a Light Novel?

I know SAO was the most successfull, that was the boom in the genre!!
but who was the first one? the most secure is that It`s was an underrated story, but somebody copy the idea!!

Hmmm the first in anime/manga/LN medias then?
Yureka (manga) maybe? Started in 2000 so that's before the start of .hack project.

Isn't that just a manga based on a game like Ragnarok was rather than talking ABOUT a game? (and more specificaly about a mmo)

When was greed island started to be published again? I have absolutely no idea... Was that really before 2000?

Criss Cross - Konton no Maou, a light novel first published in 1994.

We have a winner here for this thread. I was curious so looked into it a bit, wow, it even was the first to get the dengeki shousetsu taishou's gold prize, prize that started in 1994 as well. It features a "virtual rpg" with 256 players on the server, and is indeed considered to be the first of the genre in LN. Except if there 's a manga even older than that featuring a MMORPG, that would be the first.

It came when Blizzard needed money and thought it might be a good idea to gather all nerds in Azeroth this planet.
