So, you are new to the world of MMORPG\'s? You aren\'t quite sure what to expect? Well, I\'ll go over what one is and what\'s expected of you.
An MMORPG is a Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game. The name pretty much says it all, it\'s a role playing game played by people all over online. You assume the role of a character and you then must play it out. You can give your character personality by the way you talk, interact, have fun with it. You explore, meet new people (both player characters [PC\'s] and non-player characters [NPC\'s; or the computer], and join a guild. A guild is a group of people with a common interest, perhaps just to have fun, maybe to achieve large ammounts of wealth or maybe to you are a guild who focuses on trade skills. Try to find a guild that suits you and don\'t necessarily join because you want to be in a guild.
In a MMORPG (ex. EverQuest, DAoC) the goal is to meet new people and to have fun. You can customize your character to your liking. Say you like making things, then maybe you want to be a blacksmith, or perhaps a weaponsmith. Maybe you like to farm, well, then be a farmer. It\'s important to try to build a good reputation amoungst your peers in the game and you may find getting things you need much easier.
I hope you all enjoyed my little guide and maybe answers some of your questions on what exactly a MMORPG is. Thank you -Tomaseth
