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:

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.
