- MMORPGs
- Massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) is a genre of computer role-playing games in which a very large number of players interact
The high-speed internet and the powerful servers disseminated around it have allowed RPGs to move to a new dimension, where hundreds of thousands of players coexist and interact in persistent worlds. While the freedom of choice of each of the individual characters may be constrained and the storyline is loosened in MMORPGs compared to pen & paper RPGs, the massive amount of players leads to unique social interactions and things can get quite unpredictable, in a way arguably never achieved by any other games as single player games.
- In an MMORPG, a player uses a client to connect to a server, usually run by the publisher of the game, which hosts the virtual world and memorizes information about the player.
- Some MMORPGs have developed sophisticated economies with equipment, currency, and characters within the game being exchanged online for real money. This has led to the study of "synthetic economies" and how they relate to real world economies. As MMORPG worlds become increasingly more realistic and entertaining, they will continue to permeate further into the mainstream, attracting both positive and negative reactions from all sides.

A lot of people think this is a typical hack-slash RPG but as people start playing its becoming a social sphere for them as other people hang out with there friends on a Café we mmorpg players hang out with our friends in a mmorpg.
