Actually, no.
I was thinking of a game I used to play on (i think) iWon.com - back when
Java first came out, pre-php.
It had both a client and server component in Java.
I thought it was pretty cool because it was the first game I found where web
users could compete with each other.
Not exactly a massive-multiplayer thing, but it was a start.
