Expanding on 1, it is a hyped up VR thing but the term doesn't just apply to facebook. It refers to the collection of VR social platforms. The concept itself is far from new. As far as I know, the first thing that could be considered to fall under the term metaverse is VRChat which was first released in 2014. Most VRChat users (including me) would be opposed to calling it part of the metaverse because metaverse is strongly associated with hyper commercialization.

That makes it a MMOG. They existed in 2d versions for a long time. Active Worlds was released in 1995.

RuneScape is a baby by comparison.
