Dwarf Fortress does it, what's your excuse? ;)

jorb: It's called creative license. You know, that thing you seem to want to apply to logic, grammar and coherence? :)

Well, a few of the oldest are still running. EQ, UO, AC are all still going strong, all came out 15+ years ago. In fact, just about everything that came out pre-2005 is still running and getting updated regularly.
Opinions expressed in this statement are the authors alone and in no way reflect on the game development values of the actual developers.

Dwarf fortress also brings mighty computers to their knees for even small maps compared to an MMO XD
