This is going to come WAY out of nowhere, but I have a little story for everyone.
When I first started playing EVE, it was my first MMO ever. Like, seriously. So I was playing along with a couple people that got me hooked on the term "ftw!" and I FELL IN LOVE with it! ftw! ftw!
Now, I come back to the game 2 months later only to find that my favorite new internet phrase has been AOLinized into "4tw" and it is just not the same.
Now, not playing any other MMO's, I've never seen ftw! but it instantly clicked with me that ftw! is an EVE term. Is this true?
Also I'd like to know from you people what you prefer to use.. "ftw!" or "4tw"
Thanks. Thought I'd throw this out there, ftw! means a lot to me, and it nearly brings me to tears every time I see 4tw. ____________

Playing World of Warcraft I saw 4tw used a couple times, but it was almost always ftw. Friends at uni also used ftw...
It has been a good 6 months since I've actually seen anybody use 4tw.

leetspeak (sometimes called AOLese) in any form is completely retarded...seems most of the people on the internets have realized this.
So yes, FTW.

FTW was in use first around 40 years ago by bikers (Hell's Angels, Satan's Slaves, etc..) and they used to tatoo it on the inside of their bottom lip.
At that time it stood for "F*** the World"
I do find the new use of ftw as "For the Win" a good one though -- ** There are some men that things should not come to know ** |

Hahahahaha I can't believe that never occurred to me before.
I seem to remember a thread a few months ago where it was conclusively decided that 4tw/ftw is a terrible abuse of the English language and it should be avoided at all costs. --------------------------------[04:04:04] Tom Thumb > for a nut case you rawk |

Jos, I think you should get something interesting to care about, as whether people use 13375p34k, AOLese or proper english really doesn't matter a damn, as long as you can understand them.
