Ultima Online launched in 1997 and is, in the strictest sense, the source. The Felucca facet preserved the original full-loot ruleset after Trammel split the population, and the audience that stayed on Felucca through the early 2000s is the demographic that seeded every subsequent full-loot MMO with leadership.
