From Wikipedia (in Spanish):
"Argentum Online, también conocido como AO, es un videojuego de rol multijugador masivo en línea libre, disponible para los sistemas operativos Microsoft Windows y publicado en el año 1999 en Internet de manera independiente. El juego está programado en Visual Basic, y su éxito se debió en parte a que necesita muy bajos recursos de red para funcionar por internet y el ser completamente gratuito, algo determinante a principios de los 2000s en Argentina donde nació."
