To be owned by another player.
Started with Warcraft or Quake
NOT WoW.
Actually not a typo or misspelling,
at the time vowels were not a part of many game designs
that is also why it is not spelled pwnEd.
"p" looked the closest to "o" in the game so that's the reason for the switch. not a typo, or leet speak, or any reason you kids could possibly think of. Just simple improvisation.
Means to be shown up in gaming abilities

Pwnd is internet slang. It is based on another popular word "ownd". Power + ownd = pwnd. And that's how you derive pwnd.

Tense of pwn.
An internet chat language variety/version of the word "owned", used in the sence of beating/defeating/outclassing someone. Usually used in games such as Counter-strike or on messageboards when a user posts arguments or insults that can't possibly be counter-argued.
Arguably considered so-called "l33t-speak"

A variation of the word "owned". The only reason that this word came about was because of a typo, and given that P and O are right next to each other. It has nothing to do with combining words or anything of the sort. It is rumored to have come about from an early Warcraft3 map, in which the creator meant to have a trigger say "Player X got ownd", trying to use the "1337speak" variation of "owned", but hit P instead of O, thus giving birth to "pwnd".
