The Nethernet (previously known as PMOG, the Passively Multiplayer Online Game) was an online game in which players "passively" participated in while browsing web pages. Players earn data points by taking missions, which they can spend on various game items that could be attached to web pages to trigger events when another player next visited that page.
The game was launched as PMOG in 2007 and underwent changes in 2009 to be rebranded as the Nethernet, although this was not completely successful and the game was shut down from August until coming back online in December 31st of that year.[1] In its last iteration, the game would be online for some time, until it was finally shut down an unknown time after that.
During the 12th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards, the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences nominated PMOG for "Massively Multiplayer Game of the Year".[2]
