Nah, people have been using 'toon' since at least classic EQ, probably before.

I started hearing toon a lot after I started beta testing Anarchy Online. Hence the reason I figured it was a European thing, most of those folks would give me a hard time for calling them "Characters." Even Funcom called them toons.

Nope. I heard it in EQ Live 10 years ago, too.

Toon is short for Pontoon, which rhymes with Monsoon, which starts with an M, which stands for Main Character

It's more WoW bullshit, like NBG and the general idiocy that comes with things like 'umad?'.

I have always used "toon" I started right after Kunark released, way easier to spell, why do you use "omw", instead of "on my way"? or anything else
