MMORPGs or
Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games
are the biggest phenomenon today in the world of
PC, console, and eventually mobile gaming. A
MMORPG provides a persistent world for hundreds to
thousands of gamers at once. Updates for each
game, in the form of new content and bug fixes,
occur on somewhat of a regular basis. In return
for this ongoing service, these games usually
charge $10 to $15 per month on top of any price
that was paid online or at a retail store for the
actual game.
