MMORPG
Short for Mass Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game and often shortened even more to MMO or MMOG, an MMORPG is a game where thousands of people play together in an ongoing online world. In the game the player starts at a low level or rank and progress until he or she has achieved the maximum level or rank. During the players lifetime in the game he or she will gain new abilities or skills, obtain better weapons and other gear, and get access to more advanced areas in the game that often require a party, group, or raid of people to complete. Some great examples of MMORPG's are Anarchy Online, EverQuest, Guild Wars, Ultima Online, and World of Warcraft.
