mmorpg

Over the next few days (or weeks) I’m going to weave regular blog postings with a series of short posts about what makes a game MMORPG. Stop yawning at the back. Thing is that like it or not, MMORPGs are an ever increasing feature in the entertainment world. No longer the domain of spotty nocturnal angst ridden teenage boys, MMORPG participation is now enjoyed by representatives from just about every social and economic group in the country.

You don’t have to go far to find someone who has played or is playing an MMORPG. At a birthday party last night (happy birthday Lolo!), the second person I talked to was a WoW fan AND a clubber. So it’s worth taking some notes for future reference at yer public house gathering. And if you’re already a convert, then feel free to fire comments when you see something you don’t agree with.

You know already that a MMORPG is a “massively multiplayer online role-playing game”. My posts will focus on the five sections of MMORPG, the first being “massively”, through to the last: “game”. In case you’re wondering why there will only be five, I’m going to count RP as one.

Anyways, a good night was had last night, so I’m off to continue my recovery…
