Aren't they objects in a game? Assets, as it were? Do they move? Sounds to me like they are, in fact, Mobile OBjects. Unlike other assets like buildings, vehicles, and the like that do not move.

MMOs are a 3-D graphical front end for a database.  Poke at Wikipedia for "object oriented design" and "MUD" and the difference should be apparent.  :)

Toon, themepark, hand holding (or any variation), rails, linear, grind, revolutionize, game breaking, overpowered, pally/illy/anything cut short and made cutesy sounding, wow killer, wow clone, bro, butthurt, rig, anything to do with beer, anything to do with mma, NGE, vanilla, vent...

Gosh, if I had played a MMO in the past 6 months, I could come up with a lot more... But seriously, reading chat in any mmo generally grinds my gears... Mixed martial arts and which beer is better is brought up every night in every game I've played. Also, the typical "In wow I had a 80 ___ with _________, so I know what I'm talking about."

"quality sandbox" - pipe dream

"SWG" & "Meridian 59" - I've heard more people claim to play both than there ever were active players in each.

@Dauntis - taking notes?

I was fond of 'critturs'.  Mobs always sounded like they should be robots.  :shrug:

"Exterminate!"  Early 8-bit game training, I guess.

QFT, ERP, and then people who make fun of stuff like 9/11 or mass school shootings, etc.

I have a few:

'WoW Clone' -used when said person  doesn't like a themepark style game but feels the need to enter a discussion without any knowledge of the the game their critising

'Dynamic'- used to defend a static game event or feature, because said defender has bought into a developers marketing.

'Content'- I hate this term alround, it doesn't mean anything in the abstract:

 'Oh this game has so much content!',

'This game has so little content!'

What does it mean exactly? It has lots of stuff/or not basically. Having lots of something doesn't make it really a confirmation of a fun game experience, or of how the systems within the game work. It just a definition of volume and doesn't justify being used so much to define a games worth.

"Entitled."  I don't know how or why this word has slithered into every single topic of discussion but it must self-immolate in the most excruciating and spectacular way possible.  It doesn't help that it's broadly misused both here and elsewhere, applied to anyone who has a complaint, request, or desire.  (Nevermind that innovation, discovery, freedom, and change of all kind most often results from wanting something beyond what one currently has).  It's just as provocative and dismissive as "fanboi" and "hater", a way for cranky gamers to wave away the other side's points without actually engaging in a discussion.  My grandparents' generation called my parents' generation selfish, my parents called my generation lazy and my generation calls my kids' generation entitled.  Wonder what the next generalized putdown will be.

This.

If you say anything negative about a game now you're either a 'hater' or feeling 'entitled'.

    In game the word that bothers me most is when other players call everyone "noob"

On forums I think f2p, p2p, b2p, and p2w

WoW-clone

Sandbox

Themepark

L2P

'Murica

noob

"U Mad"

"U Jelly"

"Pl0x"

"Toon"

"Entitle(d/ment)"

"Lag" when referring to framerate issues.

"/thread"

"MMO" to describe games where the only thing massive is the chat room and/or town hub before you enter instanced play areas.

"Rouge" and "Solider", among other misspellings.

qq

In fact the whole mmorpg-terminology is a ridiculous joke and established by people who take themselves and gaming way too serious.

Plox.

Everything else doesn't bother me, but this damn word just makes me want to smash my head into my keyboard everytime I see it used.  I get everything else, gank, noob, raped, u mad? and countless others.  They all at least make sense.  How plox even came to be popular boggles my mind.  That, and I find most the noobs who say it generally suck at the game anyways. I can handle pls or plz but man, plox just sounds stupid.

Quest

Oh god:

• Fanboy
• hardcore
• casual
• carebear
• "theme park" as if it is a derogatory term
• dynamic
• static
• any of the fotm viral gaming terms: ie. jelly, real, hoy, umadbro?, pl0x
• clone
• innovative
• "Meridian 59" when used imply that, having played this game, you are a vastly superior authority on MMO gaming.  
• heh
• "You people do realize...right?"
• "most players" when they really mean "I"
• Pay2win

Not at all.  I'm actually quite pleased you used direct address.
