Neverwinter Nights is a series of video games based on the Dungeons & Dragons setting of the Forgotten Realms. There was the OG MMORPG, but what most people remember are the two games BioWare released.
The Original
Neverwinter Nights, published in 1991 by Strategic Simulations and developed by Stormfront Studios, was a multiplayer online role-playing game, with gameplay similar to the Gold Box games, that ran on AOL from 1991 to 1997. Coincidentally, it was also the first to display graphics instead of being fully text-based like MUDs. It had guilds, events, and a hell of a dedicated fanbase: they kept a clone of the game running until 2012. Also in 2012, someone ~~autist~~ dedicated grognard released a singeplayer version of it for the Forgotten Realms Unlimited Adventures, which is essentially a RPG construction kit. Find it here. Near the end of it's run, it had about 115,000 players with around 2000 of them active at the same time. It's success was what drove BioWare to acquire the rights to the Neverwinter Nights name.
There's a great archive here

Future
There's an MMORPG of it now. It's okay, playable, but nothing special. TotalBiscuit made a video on it during it's beta.
