All About MMORPG

Added 09:27am Jul 14, 2010

Internet games every day becoming more popular. The most are MMORPG games. The most popular are “World of Warcraft” and “Guild Wars”. But there are more games, which are trying to be better. In this article I will tell you everything about MMORPG games and, which game is the best.

What is MMORPG?

Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game. They are played with other players. The point of RPG is to materialize into your character. MMORPG can be played by thousands of players.
Where can you get MMORPG?

What is a monthly pay?

Many MMORPG games have a monthly pay. If we won’t pay every month, we won’t able to play the game. We can pay in few ways – by credit card or going to a game store and buy card. Then in our games website, we have to enter cards code.

How to begin playing?

When we install the game, we have to register in the official game website. Usually you have to fill a form: our name, password, other personal information and how we will be paying. After registering we can create our character and start playing.

Don’t worry. Everything will be explained. All games have a nice tutorial.

What is a server?

It is a computer, which services many players by letting them to play. They can be in different places around the world.

“PVE” and “PVP”. What’s that?

All MMORPG games are made out of two parts. That’s PVE (player vs environment) and PvP(player vs player). In PVE you have to fight enemies, which are controlled by computer, complete missions and quests or just explore the world. Only in PVE we can gain experience. We can also buy new weapons.

PVP – fighting against other players. Fights are different in every game. The best PVP is in “Guild Wars”.

Before I introduce you to the most popular MMORPGs, I want to say something about pirates. As you know, many games are having illegal copies. The same thing is with MMORPGs. There are not only illegal copies, but there are many private servers. You don’t have to pay each month, that’s way many people choose private servers. BUT private servers are not as good as the official servers. In private servers many of your characters don’t have all skills, there are not all quests. If you will be playing in private servers, you’ll lose about 60% of all the fun you can get.

World of Warcraft

WOW has more than 6 million players. It proves that this game is the most popular. And not long ago “Blizzard” released WOW: The Burning Crusade.

We can play for 8 races + 2 from TBC. The game’s races are further divided into two warring factions: the Alliance and the Horde. Characters can only talk, group, and create guilds with players from their own faction. Certain zones and cities in the world are also friendly to one faction while hostile to the other. Additionally, certain quests can only be completed by members of one faction and not the other.

Games graphics are good but not everybody will like its style.

We will fight in PVP and PVE. In PVP players must complete many tasks and hunt monsters. But always be open-eyed, because other players can attack you. PVE is different. If you don’t want to fight, there will be no fight. In PVE players organize groups and fight with evil monsters. They guard rare and powerful weapons.

Everquest 2

This game is the main rival of WOW. Everquest 2 shines with very beautiful graphics and views, but if we want to see it all, we will need a powerful PC. Recommended requirements are: Pentium 4 or Athlon XP, 2 Ghz, 1 GB RAM, Windows 98/ME/2000/XP, DirectX 9 compatible Video Card with Pixel and Vertex shaders and 128 MB of texture memory.

There are 16 races, very interesting fight system. Game’s servers are very stable.

Greek Casino

Not your average MMORPG actually, not a MMORPG at all but it is a great source of fun and you can also earn pay which can translate into real money.

Runescape

This game is free and easy to launch. You can play this game on any PC, which has an internet. Because you play it in your browser, don’t expect good graphics. Simple characters, houses are disliked by many players. You can play only for humans. There are no races to choose from. Gameplay sometimes gets boring. And I even don’t want to talk about the sounds. If you like this game, you can become a member for 5$, because the free game is like a demo. You will get access to more areas, skills, weapons, armors and monsters. But you will have to pay each month for that.
