Gaming is big business - millions of dollars ride on it. Gaming is also not static. Every day, new games are being introduced, for all audiences - children, teenagers and adults. Two of the most popular types of games are RPG, or Role Playing Games, and MMP, or Massive Multi-Player games. There are different kinds of RPG - single player versions and multiplayer versions. As the name suggests, MMP have only multiplayer versions.
Participating in a role playing game means you assume the role of some fictitious character, often available in a specific collaborative storyline. While there are rules to follow, the player is given the freedom to choose from different actions, according to which the game will take shape and the results will occur. Improvisation is allowed within the rules and because of this, role playing games make for a great pastime.
The primary objective of role playing games is having fun. This makes them quite different from the usual card, puzzle, arcade and other games. More than competition, RPG lean towards collaboration and socialising.
A role playing game can be played against your own computer or actual players in a network. They are played in sequence, somewhat like how television shows have episodes, role playing games also have sessions for play. Completing each session can take weeks or months, depending on the game and how you play it.
You can find different kinds of RPG - some are based on fantasy, like Dungeons and Dragons, and some others, for example Call of Duty, are based on the real world, though rather exaggerated. The main story and theme of these games will go on through sessions. As you play on and reach new levels, there will be new elements added, like new characters or new twists.
You can choose what character you would like to be, but each character has certain predefined abilities and general characteristics. For example, with X-Men, the different characters will be very similar to the ones in the comic, with the same special abilities.
In comparison, the Massive Multi-Player Games require the compulsory participation of several players. They are not for individual or two players. The objective here is to create complexity and bigger challenges.
The main differences between RPG and MMP are that MMP requires you to be online, pay a monthly subscription and be connected to hundreds and thousands of players at the same time. A popular MMP is EverQuest, a 3D fantasy-themed game set in an alternative universe. Another common name for MMP is Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games (MMORPG).
