I'd suggest that instead of merging them to this article, we reclaim Online game and merge them over on that topic. I dislike the term "Internet game" and "Multiplayer online game" seems to be sort of redundant. (Single player online games may as well be downloaded and played offline. :) ) -- Xenoveritas 04:34, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
I agree with reclaiming Online game. For what its worth, I did a quick google search on the two words:
- "Interent game" - 161,000,000 results
- "Online game" - 583,000,000 results
As "Online game" has way more than three times the page results Id back that position. -- Evolve2k 13:56, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
I've merged the contents of this article over with Online game for the reasons listed above - "multiplayer online game" feels redundant, "online game" seems to make more sense and seems like it should be the basic topic covering online games. — Xenoveritas 21:48, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
- Online game refers to anything on the web, including all browser-based games. this article should refer to multiplayer games. so multiplayer seems like a much better choice to be used in the article title. -- Steve, Sm8900 ( talk) 19:06, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
Are browser-based MOGs a distinct class? They obviously can be distinguished by their implementation but it seems like any class of MOG could be implemented via a web browser client. Is BMOG the definitive acronym? I am asking because it seems that Browser-based multiplayer online game might be deleted.-- 75.37.31.208 ( talk) 11:34, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
- I say there's no need to differentiate. If we go down that road, we'll end up with horrible stub articles like Xbox multiplayer online game which will have 99% of the text of this article plus a tiny mention that it applies only to games playable on the Xbox.

Is “MOG” an acronym that is in common use? Can this be sourced? I’ve seen “MMOG” (for “massively multiplayer…”), but have never come across “MOG.” — 67.14.236.50 ( talk) 16:33, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
- I suppose the answer’s no. So I’ve removed it here. — 67.14.236.50 ( talk) 04:33, 18 October 2017 (UTC)
I propose merging this article into Multiplayer video game. I don’t think there’s anything to be said about online multiplayer video games (on any platform, including PC) that can’t and shouldn’t be said at that article. — 67.14.236.50 ( talk) 04:57, 18 October 2017 (UTC)
