Mmorpg defined

How to define an MMORPG...?

Many people who only have a basic knowledge of MMORPGs would normally answer: "A type game that many people play"; well they are wrong. MMORPGs are more than just an interactive game between players, it is the result of years of human ingenuity brought together to produce a software that allows users from all over the world to communicate, interact and socialise with each other.



As related to RPG's (Role Playing Games), the players of MMORPG's are to assume a fictional character within the game, and then take control of that character's actions.


MMORPGs are very popular throughout the world, with combined global memberships in subscription and non-subscription games exceeding 15 million as of 2006. Worldwide revenues for MMORPGs exceeded half a billion dollars in 2005, and Western revenues exceeded one billion USD in 2006.

The majority of MMORPGs are based on traditional fantasy-themed gameplay, occurring in an in-game universe. Some employ hybrid themes that either merge or substitute fantasy elements with those of science fiction, sword and sorcery, the occult, or other recognizable literary genres. Often these elements are developed using similar tasks and scenarios involving quests, monsters, and loot.
