Some experts suggest it was the wizard Thaumatorr, in the game Ultima Online on the third day of release. Others argue that the practice predates MMOs and goes back to some of the first MUDs, and credit a warrior named Krag the Merciless.
Still others say that the practice even predates online gaming, and that a halfling thief named Stumblefingers should be credited with the first "congrats", which he said (verbally) to his D&D compatriot Eunice Beauregard McGillicutty the Third, a cleric, during a tabletop RPG session in 1979.

WOW Organica you are a wealth of information. I don't know if its true or not, but i like it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I thinks this predated Internet. When a caveman was promoted to chieftain, people said Congrats.
I have been playing MMORPG since before they were called MMORPGs, AOL's NWN, and there was "Congrats!" there too, early 90's.

Who was the first player or their character name to say congrats when someone on the team levels? Anyone know? Or is it safe to say the name has been lost to history?
