Where does MMO-Champion come from?
The name of the website MMO-Champion.com comes from the abbreviation MMO(RPG), which stands for massively multiplayer online (role-playing games) like World of Warcraft, and champion, a “winner” or “victor” in a contest.
MMO-Champion started in March, 2007. It’s managed by Boubouille, the username of a French writer and World of Warcraft gamer who launched the site in 2007, along with a handful of forum moderators and special project developers working for Major League Gaming. As with most fan-forum websites, its mission is to provide a place for gamers to connect online about their favorite hobby—and for some, profession.

It’s most common to find the website in the news when someone on the forums leaks a major feature, release date, or hack about a popular game.
Early on, MMO-Champion gained a bit of a reputation for overwhelming other websites with traffic. It wasn’t uncommon for a gaming website to get MMO-Champ’t, crashed by a sudden high volume of gamers responding to a post about the website. It just goes to show how many people follow the MMO-Champion forums. World of Warcraft itself has had over five-million subscribers across the globe during the 2010s.
MMO-Champion forums have also expanded to cover politics and other non-gaming topics. Most of the threads on these off-topic forums tend to get a little … well, controversial.
