A 27-year-old online role-playing game is still getting significant updates in 2024, in what is one of the longest running video games ever.
Tibia will outlast us all While the modern live service boom has led to many games being shut down after mere months, there are some online titles that have been around for decades. One notable example is Tibia, a massively multiplayer online game which was originally released in 1997. 27 years later, developer Cipsoft is still pushing out updates for the title, with the latest being a summer update this month.
One of the earliest examples is the text-based GemStone series produced by Simutronics in 1988, but 1991’s Neverwinter Nights is widely credited as the first with actual graphics, and ran from 1991 to 1997 . As for the oldest MMO which is still receiving updates today, that title probably goes to Meridian 59. Originally released in 1996, as a monthly subscription service, the title was later made available as open source software in 2012, run by some of the original developers.
