Anarchy Online was the first MMO I played that had instances. You'd get an individual or group mission (quest) at a terminal, run to the entrance (it could be close or very far away, the rewards varying with distance and difficulty), and you would be in a randomly generated inhabited complex or cave, filled with various opponents that were guarding objectives or loot. Your mission might be to assassinate someone, retrieve or repair an item, or even observe a creature. This was sophisticated stuff for a game that came out in 2001!
