If you were around in the early days of online gaming, you surely remember how terrible the memes were. I mean, I put on my robe and wizard hat? When was the last time you heard someone say that and it wasn’t done ironically?
Personally, I started MMOs in Ultima Online, so a lot of the popular memes I remember came from pre-turn-of-the-millennium things like The Adventures of B0N3D00D and pLaTeDeWd, so touchstone phrases like “I am a mage,” “fethers,” “chian?” and “whats ur equip” were ubiquitous.
Only your dankest, most cringe memes here today, folks, from the age long before rickrolling: What’s the oldest MMO meme you remember?
Every morning, the Massively Overpowered writers team up with mascot Mo to ask MMORPG players pointed questions about the massively multiplayer online roleplaying genre. Grab a mug of your preferred beverage and take a stab at answering the question posed in today’s Daily Grind!
