I think you meant to say longest running online RPG, not oldest online RPG. There were MUDs being played by modem around 1980 on university campuses. They've just been shut down since then and Avalon is still around. As a long time MUDder myself I'm shocked I've never given this one a try.
Interesting sidebar: I was poking around a random PVP MUD I found called Duris and noted some similarities between the MUD and EQ. Not the routine stuff (HP, Mana, sit to regain health) but things like only being able to memorize so many spells at a time. My observation was met with some Lols and one person explained to me that Duris had split with another MUD called Sojourn back in it's earlier days. One of the main designers (edit: player, not designer) of Sojourn was Brad Mcquaid. It all goes full circle. #potatochips

for the sake of my autism, I'll mention that gemstone is still running and pre-dates this game by a year! #project1988
