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.
