What is an MMORPG?
MMORPG stands for massively multiplayer online role-playing game. In an MMORPG, thousands of players exist in the same game world at the same time. This creates an incredibly rich and active environment in which interesting things are constantly taking place. MMORPGs provide thousands of hours of game play, with a nearly infinite variety of goals to achieve across a vast world covering miles of land and sea. For World of Warcraft, we have been and will continue to add new content on a regular basis, thus ensuring that there will always be new adventures, new locations, new creatures, and new items to discover.
MMORPG, or massively multiplayer online role-playing games, allow thousands of users to interact with one another in a virtual world by assuming ongoing roles or characters with different features. The games are continuous, and players accumulate features, advance in levels and communicate with one another through instant messaging. The interactive and group-oriented nature of our games creates a strong sense of community among users, and the large size of our user base contributes to user loyalty and helps to attract new users.
MMORPG is a long acronym for Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game. MMORPGs generally involve thousands of people playing simultaneously in a large “persistent” universe. The universe is persistent in that it continues to exist (and persist) after the user stops playing. When you return, your character will be there, just as you left him/her, but events may have transpired in the universe while you were away. In this way, people around the world can play together, online, populating a virtual “universe”. Examples of well-known MMORPGs could include World of Warcraft, EverQuest, Lineage, Second Life, and others.
