A Massively Multiplayer Online Game (MMOG or MMO) is a computer game which is capable of supporting hundreds or thousands of players simultaneously, and is played on the Internet. Typically, this type of game is played in a giant persistent world.

MMOs enable players to compete with and against each other on a grand scale, and sometimes to interact meaningfully with people around the world. Most MMOs require players to invest large amounts of their time into the game (drawing one away from the real world), and are most suitable for a gamer that is not occupied daily with matters in the "outside" world. Still, almost anyone who enjoys video games or human interaction can enjoy an MMOG.

Overview and history


The most popular type of MMOG, and the sub-genre that did much to pioneer the category, is the massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG). MMORPG's descend from university mainframe computer MUD and adventure games such as Rogue on the PLATO System and Dungeon on the PDP-10 that pre-date the commercial games industry.
