It was born in Warcraft. Now I see it in almost every game I play.
Also I remember prom night mom said GL and dad said HF. I've been using it ever since, that is 10+ years.

Me too... Just didn't know about Kali. I was in the beginning BW NA scene though, with {88}incontrol, Manhattan, Pillars, clanx17, etc. etc. I knew Tastleless when he was Blackishgold.

First time I saw it was on BW. And now it is in just about every online game I play, from dota to BF 3. I suppose the first online game that put people against each other could be the orgin of "gl hf." Now GGL, is a product of WC 3 USEAST. (good game loser ) lol

The harder it becomes, the more you should focus on the basics.

Not sure if GL/HF/GG came from War2, but I know that QQ did. Alt Q > Quit Menu > Q > Quit.

gl hf gg and all that was used in quake at around 1997-1998 im guessing that's when it started. I remember using them myself in my first official counter-strike match in 2000 or 2001.

I remember some guys at local pc bangs were using it back in around 2000-2001 while playing CS 1.0 and AoE. Being a 10 years old, my English wasnt so great back then to understand lol.
