MMORPG

Massive multiplayer online roleplaying game. In these MMOs, the player can create a fictional character inside a virtual world. Usually, a number of races/classes exist for the player to select from. Aditionally, various traits and abilities can be selected. The virtual worlds are most commonly fantasy or SF themed although other types, such as historical MMORPGs also exist. Much like in an RPG/CRPG, the player, through his character, can take on missions/quests, choose professions and influence most of the world's aspects (such as the political or economical one), to different extents, depending the played game. A few examples of well-known MMORPGs are World of Warcraft (fantasy), DDO (Dungeons&Dragons Online, game based on the D&D 3.5 rules and set inside the virtual realm of Eberron) or the City of Heroes/City of Villains MMORPGs, based on a comic book setting.
