For those people out there who is asking themselves what in the world is MMORPG, then they most probably living under a rock for decades because the game genre has been booming since year 2000. MMORPG stands for "massive multiplayer online role playing game" which is like all the typical online fantasy MMORPG games like World of Warcraft, Runescape, Everquest, Cabal, Lineage and many other countless unknown Chinese, Korean and Japanese MMORPG games. MMORPG is a game where player login into a server and "lived" in an online virtual world where player live, play, make money, spend money, lose money, interact with other online player, kill unknown wandering creature, DIE and live again. Most players of MMORPG just play the game for sake of having fun and play with a group of online buddies, but some player uses MMORPG to make money by making and buying merchandises and sell it off for better price and convert the virtual money into a real world money. You almost say that MMORPG is a game where player literally "live" in the virtual world and do all sort of same things where you can do it in the real world.
Although some MMORPG is better and more popular than the other like the Wold of Warcraft which earn the title of the current best MMORPG in the world which has warping 11 million players pay and play around the world they; however, they all have the similar way of playing, which is start at level 1, trained your avatar by slaughtering monster, spend cash to buy bigger and more powerful arsenal, do trading, dueling, chatting with other player, embark on a quest and repeat all these all over again.
I would like to introduce one MMORPG like no others, which called EVE ONLINE. What different between this MMORPG and the other is that EVE has different approch in concept and gameplay than any other online games. Most online games play by keeping your feet on the ground, but only handful like EVE made you play by putting into vast void of DARK SPACE in our Milky Way galaxy.
You start build yourself an avatar face and a ship to start your level 1 voyage. The world of EVE consist of 5 faction spread across the galaxy and they are Amarr Empire, the Gallente Federation, the Minmatar Republic, the Caldari State and the Jove Empire and they are at war with each other. As a player you can be a lone wolf merchant, miner, bounty hunter or pirates which allow you to do whatever you want with nobody is bossing you around but you are on your own when you are in trouble. However if you choose by joining of the faction, you will be part of a organisation where you will be there assets like be their miners or be part of their armada, however, if you are attack by one clan of enemy faction, you'll have someone higher up to back you up like a huge squardron of space fighters or a battle cruiser. Besides that, you'll actually be part of a faction to faction political conflict like you have in your country and also be part of a ALL OUT WAR by participating in a Mega Size space battle where a faction fleet vs another faction fleet in a bright, thrilling, scary and EPIC battle you never experiencing before. In a battle, you may be one of the fighter pilot having a dogfight duel with another pilot or a commanding officer of a giant carrier giving out order to your fellow pilot while engaging the enemy.
I must say, compare to other MMORPG, EVE Online is much more real life experiencing than other MMORPG; take World of Warcraft for example, you may play as a knight doing quest, kill monster and interact with your fellow friends but it only allow you to experiencing it alone or in a small groups or clan. Whereas in EVE world you play it in a political scale as if you are actually serving a country and everything in EVE is part of a history making like, clan establishment, total destruction of a clan, a coup detat of fellow members to the higher ups just like the political event like ours in the real life. In addition, the space battle is extraordinary because you will see laser fire, missiles and explosion flashes all over the dark space like electric fireworks and watch your teammate and your enemy ships explode into oblivion and during the fight, you will fell like Luke Skywalker piloting a fighter single-handedly take out enemy ships one by one or as Darth Vader giving out orders while standing on main deck. I hope there are more online games like EVE are developed in the future because online games like EVE could be the FUTURE.
Watch this, you'll get the idea
