"it's actually neosvr", "it's actually [insert thing here]"

Maybe it's always been here, perhaps it's just another abstraction or simulation of a perceived reality. One could say that MUD systems are metaverses(metaversi?)

Multiplayer virtual worlds have been with us since the beginning. I think there was a multiplayer high fantasy package for the PDP series of minicomputers?

There's a concerted push to foist this buzzword on us either way.

One of my favorite MUDs HellMOO has a lot of references to Snow Crash (the progenitor of the 'metaverse').
