You're missing the point. The question is whether or not there exists any games that were massively multiplayer PRIOR to Gemstone, that are still running. The reason for the question is to determine whether or not GS is in fact the oldest AND longest-running massively multiplayer game. The two are inclusive by virtue of Simutronics' claim. If only one is true, then the claim is untrue. The claim is untrue, because GS is NOT the oldest massively multiplayer game. They are definitely one of the oldest, but certainly not THE oldest, since they were not massive until 1996.
