Stranger in a Virtual Land: The World of MMORPGs Feature 11:03 AM | Tuncer Deniz | Comment on this story
What's an MMORPG and why have they become so popular? IMG Writer Alan Hogue, a MMORPG newbie and wannabie, recently spent a month checking out the various Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game available for the Mac including Everquest, Lineage, and, of course, World of Warcraft. Here's a clip from the feature: Some years ago the computer gaming world added yet another unpronounceable acronym to the English language: MMORPG. So unwieldy that you know it must have been coined for something important. Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games, in which thousands of people from all over the world log into a fantasy game, take on the persona of some fantasy creature or adventurer, and then proceed to spend every waking moment nurturing their online avatar to electronic greatness, represented the next (perhaps the first) great step forward in immersive gaming. To check out the feature, please follow the link below.
