This raises another question. Which one was the first known MPOG sold in a box? I'd risk saying Shadows of Yserbius or Neverwinter Nights. Yserbius wasn't online-only, so I'm not sure it should count.

Since those games were distributed via the medium they were for (BBS),
I'm not sure any of them ever were boxed. I agree, however, it would
be cool to have one that was.
I don't know that it would have much monetary value. I tried selling
a book with the RBBS disks still sealed in the back on eBay. Nary a
bid. I've seen people comment on missing the days of BBSs, but
there's not the nostalgia for it yet that there is for, say, classic
computer games. (Of course, we're also talking a smaller population
of computer users back then that were into BBSs.)
