Please omit acronyms until after they are explained, and avoid them even then. This is good style simply because it makes the result more readable for people not familiar with the acronyms. Remember, you're writing this article for people who don't know what "massively multiplayer online role-playing games" are, not merely to sum up your own knowledge. --Larry Sanger 09:33, 29 March 2007 (CDT)

Hmm, that makes a lot of sense. I'll have to rephrase the parts with the acronyms then, thanks Larry. --Beano Lee

Alright, the foundation for the article is now pretty much set, with a gap in the history and evolution of MMORPGs that I leave open for now. While WP's take on this subject is much more extensive, I find the information there very jumbled in sections, with little coherence between the subtopics. It would be best to expand in a different direction than WP's version, and there is still a lot of MMORPG-related knowledge out there to put into the article.

Input on the history section is very much welcome! --Beano Lee 07:29, 30 March 2007

I don't think it's accurate to say that MUDs were the first MMORPGs. They were certainly their predecessors, but the first "M" ("massively") was, I believe, explicitly included in the acronym to separate MMORPGs from MUDs. --Peter Blake 18:52, 23 October 2007 (CDT)

MMORPG

create a redirect from a page with that name to make the acronym usable for those aware of it Robert Tito |  Talk  22:19, 25 April 2007 (CDT)
