Okay, I didn’t actually INVENT it, I just shanghaied Alan Kleitz’s talent and got him to place his “Milieu” program (now renamed “Scepter of Goth”) into a commercial setting. So GamBit was the first COMMERCIAL MMORPG, back when MM meant “sixteen users” and O meant “dial-up.”

I actually wrote a paper for my college degree in which I tracked down a bunch of our franchisees and discovered that many of them had continued in the industry after GamBit and become leaders in the online game business.

I can dig up the paper and put in on Scribd if you’d like to look at it.
