Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games (MMORPG for short) are games where people from around the world find hours of enjoyment playing with friends and strangers. The premise is simple. Take a large amount of digital real estate and populate it with NPC’s (Non Player Characters) from any number of exotic genres. Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror are just a few. Insert PC’s (Player Characters) into that world. Give them a way to meet new friends, or join friends they already have, and then give them treasures, dungeons and monsters and you have a typical MMORPG. Finding a good MMORPG can be hard. Luckily there are websites out there ready to lend a helping hand.
