10 things about MMORPG

Well, I'm huge fan of this genre, that's why I created this, small post about Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games.

1. Player’s task is to evolve his character (avatar) and travel all virtual fantasy world. Of course player don’t have to do it, because there are no strict story line.

2. Although MMORPGs, have only existed since the early 1990s, all these games can trace a lineage back to the earliest multi-user games which started appearing in the late 1970s. So around 40 years ago!

3. Top popular free-to-play MMORPG, is Maple Story, created by Nexon. Only in Asia, it has around 33 millions of players, to huge number over 50 millions worldwide!

4. You should know that game addictions are currently the fastest growing class of addictions, with MMORPG addictions being the most common! So watch out for you health during you game sessions.

5. There are 3 archetypes of classes in MMORPG. Tank, DPS (Damage-per-Second), Healer, each class has weak and strong points.

6. The first console-based MMORPG was Final Fantasy XI for the Sony PlayStation 2. Game is still available and has around 500,000 subscribers, mostly in Japan, where is nr 1 MMORPG.

7. Many MMORPGs feature living economies. All virtual items and currency have to be gained through play and have definite value for players. Sometimes items are worth around few thousand dollars!

8. Since the interactions between MMORPG gamers are real, psychologists and sociologists are able to use MMORPGs as tools for academic research. Prof. Bonnie Nardi of the University of California Irvine is working on science project about this issue: “Why American players go to greater lengths to mod the popular MMO than do Chinese World of Warcraft players”.

9. Idea of MMORPG, is to play with other gamers online, so remember to play with others! You are not alone!

10. Most popular pay-for-play game is World of Warcraft, developed by Blizzard Entertainment. It has over 11 millions of player worldwide! Even so these games are far more less popular then Free MMORPGs.

3 Best Lord of the Rings Games

1. The Lord Of The Rings Online I think the best one here is inaugurated in 2007 and refusing to miss a beat, The Lord of the Rings Online is gaming's definitive take on Tolkien's lore. Despite recently celebrating its ten-year anniversary, Turbine's MMORPG remains among the genre's most visually pleasing outings. What source? Right here https://grynatelefon.net . Split into lots of different regions, this Middle-earth is in a constant state of flux; for example, the title's most recent expansion takes place after The War of the Ring. If Tolkien wrote the book on grand adventures set in a dark and grim environment, The Lord of the Rings Online demonstrated the endless possibilities. 2. Middle-Earth: Shadow Of Mordor One of the standout releases during the current generation's infancy, Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor fills in the 60-year gap separating The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Told from the perspective of a Gondor ranger who comes back to life a...
