I remember using it in UO (dragon raids), so it's gaming application pre-dates EQ.
Honestly, it's almost impossible to keep terms straight in regards to when they became part of gaming language. I don't really think it matters.
Wasn't there almost a meta-physical fistfight a while back over the use of threat vs. aggro?

Touching on this, it's especially hard because the terminology back at the time varied from server to server. After 10+ years of MMOing, we've come to a consensus on most things, but back then I wouldn't have been suprised to see one server calling it a raid, while the next calls it "the thing where we get 30 guys together and do cool shit". I know on the Tribunal, in '99, it was called a raid from the beginning, so I would assume it does pre-date EverQuest.
