MMORPB is the acronym for Massive Multiplayer Online Role Play(ing) Game, and can be briefly described as a type of computer game that is played online and participated in by players all over the world who has access to a computer.
In this type of game, the player figuratively enters a fantasy world and plays a role of his own making with his character supposedly tasked to perform and complete a mission or an objective. Usually these worlds will be persistent, hosted on a permanent server, and actions taken by the players will have an effect on the realm or world. Thus making it interactive, even when the player is not playing the game. In effect, life in this world continues in the same way that life goes on in the real world.
Pin one particular instance in World of Warcraft, an event occurred where a spell effect which lowered the players health slowly over time was spread from player to player. For a time, there was chaos and confusion as the disease assumed epidemic proportions and players scampered to take cover. Eventually, a safe haven was established and the problem was contained but the experience was an eye opener because of the realistic circumstances.
Perhaps a reflection of man's inherent desire for extraordinary powers, many games like World of Warcraft and Guildwars are based on a world of magic and fantasy. Other games are supposed to take place in some distant planets and involve the use and time travel in spaceships. There are also players who chose to be more down to earth, literally that is, with events happening in the real world that resemble or are patterned after real places and, perhaps to be more realistic, places that are familiar to some players.
MUDs or Multi-User Dungeons were the MMORPGs first games. In this program, the course of events and the acts of the characters are controlled by the players through a command system. Although simple 2D graphical versions and even 3D MUDs do exist. Similar to MUDs are browser based, like RuneScape, which are played entirely in the users browser. These early ones are text based or in complex 3Ds and are as functional as the latter MORPGS, and are for the most part free.
MMORPGs gained prominence about a decade ago and are today a popular choice of many online players. Worldwide, they are earning billions and the total take is rising year after year.
