Massive Multiplayer Online Games
Probably everything is clear about
multiplayer games by now. In case it’s not, you can always go back read about
multiplayer games here. The
thing is, the gaming communities are getting larger and many players massively
connect and play certain games. We call that a Massive
multiplayer online game.
Massive multiplayer online game or MMO/MMOG is ‘a multiplayer video
game which
is capable of supporting large numbers of players simultaneously’. It is necessary to be connected via Internet with other players, and you
can play on you PC, laptop, smartphone or tablet.
Probably the main reason why MMOs are popular lies
somewhere in the Internet connection, or to be more certain, in the ability to
connect to players on a larger scale. Not only you can connect to other players
and play against them or unite in a team, you can actually connect to player
regardless of the place where they physically are. And they can be next door,
or miles away on another continent.
The first MMO game appeared somewhere in 1986 by the
name Air Warrior by Kesmai on the GEnie online service. Since then, many MMO
games appeared, with different themes, different gameplays and different
strategies. Today, we can say that the most famous MMO game is undoubtedly
World of Warcraft. And when it comes to MMOs on social network, FarmVille holds
the number one spot.
Probably no one can really explain the necessity of
playing games. We always find new ways to make things more exciting. And by
developing MMOs, we probably have done that.
