Correct. 5 Kills and you were red.


Question 2: Who coined the term "MMORPG" and in what year?

No Google-Foo haxzor's, either you know it or you don't.

Incorrect.

Wrong Game, and wrong year. Double bonus points if you can name the person.

First hint: The game the term "MMORPG" was coined in was in fact Ultima Online. This person was part of the UO dawning days.

Richard Garriot? the creator of UO? He seems like a likely choice and visionary to coin a term like that. As for the year... well I would guess it's release so either 1998 or 1999

Just a tad bit of trivia for ya bud, Ultima Online released Q4 1997. September if my memory serves me correctly.

A: Richard Garriot coined the term "massively multiplayer online role-playing game" or "MMORPG" in the year of 1997 shortly after beta had closed for UO, and the game had gone live.
