MMORPG stands for Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game. These games are played by hundreds of thousands of players against each other in a virtual world that is hosted by the game publisher. The company makes money by trading virtual currencies to buy different ‘weapons’ and accessories for the role-play.

MMORPGs are very popular because of the sheer magnitude of the virtual world. Since there are lots of players you are competing against, it provides an opportunity to the player to lead a virtual life that can complement his or her real life strengths and fallacies.

Also, modern technology has made such virtual worlds highly addictive and enticing for the gamers.
