Final Fantasy
FFviii Annihilation ~ (Years Active: 2004 & 2008~)
» Creator(s): Strife ~ Staff: Needless, Phox, Will, Trigger
FF8A was the follow up to FF7 Fortress an opened originally in 2004. The RPG was fairly active, though it never eclipsed the 2nd MSN Group activity tier and ran for just over 3 months before being closed due to staff issues. In 2008 just before the announcement that MSN Groups would be closing Strife began work on the site again, only to have to place it in hiatus until CPN was complete where it would once again go into production. FF8A would be put in hiatus again after CPN closed only to be moved to dyspro where it still sits.

Final Fantasy Revolution ~ (Years Active: 2002-2003)
» Creator(s): --- ~ Staff: ---
One of the earliest content driven Final Fantasy RPGs, FF: Revolution was part of a group of early proto RPGs that would determine how RPGs hosted on MSN Groups would be built for years to come. Though not especially long lasting it should be noted that Final Fantasy Revolution was a influence early on in the development of FF7 Fortress.

Gensou Omega Designs ~ (Years Active: 2003)
» Creator(s): Strife, Abyss, Jadavo ~ Staff: Valix, Deedz
GOD as it was called came into being after the sudden fall of GFX-Arts which at the time was the biggest GFX site on MSN Groups. GFX-Arts had been found to contain many ripped features which caused the staff to split after much infighting and a few hackings of the group. GOD intended to set the path straight for the GFX-Arts crew and proved to be one of the biggest GFX groups ever. GOD eventually merged with rival group GFX-Portfolios to create the biggest and most long lasting of all the GFX groups, Arachnid Designs.

Samurai
Heart of the Sword ~ (Years Active: 2002 & 2004)
» Creator(s): --- ~ Staff: ---
Heart of the Sword was a well known Rurouni Kenshin RPG that originally opened in 2002 and again as RK: Heart of the Sword in 2004. Of all the Samurai RPGs to ever be hosted on MSN Groups this is probably the most well remembered, especially in it's second incarnation which was very well positioned in the RPG Rankings for most of it's life span. Heart of the Sword was a major foundation in the development of MSN Groups RPGs and is one of a handful of very important early RPGs.

Dragon Ball Z
John's Dragon Ball Z Funhouse ~ (Years Active: 2002-2003)
» Creator(s): Strife ~ Staff: Ashley, Phox, Will
Most notable as being the first MSN Group created by Strife, who wanted to create a unique DBZ RPG using a stat based system instead of the common free form RPGs that populated MSN Groups at the time. JDBZF ran for about 8 months from late 2002 into the spring of 2003 and was moderately active, though it never broke out of the second tier activity rank on MSN Groups and never reached higher than the 4th ranked DBZ RPG at the time. The beginning of concepts and ideals that would lead to DBZ: Saiyan Crisis and eventually DBZ: Renewed Faith.

Video Game
Kingdom Hearts ~ (Years Active: 2006)
» Creator(s): Strife ~ Staff: Andrew, Cooler
In 2006 Kingdom Hearts was poised to take off and be the RPG Genre for the year (something that never happened) as at one time four major RPG creators were building KH RPGs. Kingdom Hearts was the first of these RPGs to open and it was moderately successful in it's very minimalist original run. The RPG however did not last long and attempted to return in 2007 but by this time the popularity of Kingdom Hearts had fallen and this second run was longer but far less successful in terms of activity.
