Dumb question - what is MMORPG?

Post by jdougan1 »

Ok - obviously I know what an RPG is - but what is an MMORPG? The term shows up frequently in the varions archives on this site.

Myth and magic? Might and Magic? But what is the "O" for?

(feeling really stupid)

Massively Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game

Everquest is one example of an MMORPG

Massively Multiplayer refers to the fact that unlike traditional multiplayer which limits you to a small number of players (bg allows 6) EQ servers generally have in the neighborhood of 2,000 players living out there virtual lives in a persistent world.
