Massively Multiplayer Online Games

The most important aspect of a game that inspires more gamers
to play it is the amount of challenge it provides. The best way
of making a game more challenging is to make it multiplayer.
Because Artificial Intelligence in computer games has not
reached a point yet where it can predict every kind of move you
make and also every kind of player, they are easy to beat once
you understand the patterns they follow. In multiplayer games
however, you get to play with and against other gamers, and each
time you play someone new you face a new kind of challenge.
Owing to this fact, the game developers came up with a new
category of games. This category is Massively Multiplayer Online
Game or MMOG and enables thousands of players to join and play
the game simultaneously via the internet.

There are some MMOG's these days that have servers all around
the globe connected to each other, enabling gamers to interact
and play each other from every corner of the globe. Most MMOG's
create a persistent universe where the game goes on whether any
player is online or not. Since however, it stresses on
multiplayer gameplay, they usually have Artificial Intelligence,
to allow the game to be played in single player mode and people
do not leave if there is no other person online.

Unlike single player games MMOG's do not have an end point in
the game. They are modeled in a way that the game goes on and
the characters within it develop like real life. Only a few
MMOG's have a winning condition that too based on the standings
of the players after due time the game has been played.

MMOG's are able to support thousands of players online
simultaneously. Because of the diversity of gamers playing these
games from around the globe and the amount of detail the game
developers put into these games, they are very challenging and
filled with endless new experiences. Some MMOG's allow clans to
be formed, so people can form their own groups of gamers and
compete with other groups. This makes the game even more
challenging as each clan tried to overpower the other clans.

MMOG's are most suitable for gamers with loads of free time as
they are quite addictive and time consuming. However, for any
gamer who appreciates game details and quality, MMOG'S are
heavenly.
