Multiplayer Online Games

The online age has introduced the concept of multiplayer games in which players don't have to be in the same room with one another. The most popular of these are Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games (MMORPGs), in which players work together and against each other toward goals. The feeling of community and kindred interests are what draw players to multi-player online gaming. So strong is the pull of these games, players pay not only the price of the software but a monthly subscription fee to support the infrastructure. MMORPG sessions are said to last for hours. Voice and text communication make some of these games mature enterprises, not fit for children. Although the Xbox 360 is making some headway into the MMORPG realm, nearly all examples of the genre takes place on computers.
