YOU MAY BE WONDERING WHY a WEBPAGE ON MMORPGs BUT I’D PREFER THE QUESTION WHY NOT? I CHOSE TO DO THIS TOPIC BECAUSE I LOVE PLAYING GAMES AND CONSIDER IT A LEISURELY HOBBY OF MINE.

MMORPGs ARE A TYPE OF GAME WHICH CONSISTS OF THOUSANDS OF PLAYERS INTERACTING ONLINE TAKING UP A SPECIFIC ROLE IN THE GAME. THE GAME USUALLY GIVES THE PLAYER A CHOICE OF BEING IN A CERTAIN CLASS OR PLAYING A CERTAIN ROLE LIKE ACROLYTE, KNIGHT, MAGE OR ASSASSIN.

THESE GAMES ARE HIGHLY ADDICTIVE AND USUALLY REQUIRE THE PLAYER TO SPEND A LOT OF TIME BATTLING MONSTERS OR DOING QUESTS TO MOVE UP IN LEVEL. THESE LEVELS USUALLY HAVE BENEFITS WHICH THE PLAYER NEEDS TO CONTINUE ALONG THE STORYLINE. THIS USUALLY INCLUDES BETTER ARMOR AND WEAPONS OR THE ABILITY TO LEARN NEW SKILLS; SOMETIMES IT ALSO ALLOWS A PLAYER TO HAVE ACCESS TO AN AREA WHERE ACCESS WAS NOT PREVIOUSLY ALLOWED DUE TO LEVEL REQUIREMENTS.

WHAT MAKES MMORPGS SO UNIQUE IN COMPARISON TO OTHER TYPES OF GAMES IS THE CONNECTION PLAYERS HAVE TO THEIR GMs OR GAME MASTERS. THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE PLACED IN THE GAME TO HEAR THE CONCERNS OF THE PLAYERS IN TERMS OF GAME PLAY AND TO ALSO START IN-GAME EVENTS. IN-GAME EVENTS ARE ACTIVITIES WHICH AT THE END WINNERS ARE GIVEN EXCLUSIVE PRIZES WHICH ARE BENEFICIAL TO THEM FOR CONTINUED GAME PLAY.
