A tribute to PC Gamer's first MMO characters—may they never be forgotten
I was never a good rogue.
In 2025, PC Gamer paid tribute to the characters from the first MMOs, reflecting on their memories of these early online games. Many writers expressed nostalgia for their first MMO character, revealing that they were often players of the mid-2000s generation. One writer, Jacob, recounted his experience with RuneScape, where he had been banned years ago for botting.
Despite a lengthy ban, Jacob managed to retrieve his account after contacting Jagex support. He expressed his gratitude to Mod Frenzy for unbanning his character, which he considered his longest-running video game character.
