Online Games: Role Playing Games – and the Fan Base Grows
Role Playing Games
Players or participants of Role Laying Games assume the role of different fictional characters, more popularly known as avatars, and try to make these characters victorious with each challenge it faces.
These avatars can be customized and built according to the preferences of the player. They may determine where their character may excel. However, as the game progresses, the character may built up more strength and powers or otherwise.
Online role playing games also have guidelines and a formal system of rules and mechanics that needs to be met. Working around these rules, participants can shape the outcome and direction of their games.
Background
It was in the mid 1970s when it all started. Online role playing games was developed from its traditional counterparts (computer role playing games and video games). In this year, the earliest multi user games started to appear. In 1980, Rogue, a very famous dungeon crawler was released. It was quite different back then because monsters, items, and settings were represented by letters. Form then, development of a new genre of similar clones.
One of the most influential games among all online role playing games is Dungeons and Dragons. It has a big effect in the development of online RPGs. The success of Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest console games divided the genre of role playing games into two: the console role playing games and the computer role playing games. Cultural differences are the reason behind this classification. Game consoles are produced primarily for personal computers in Japan and role playing games in the Western World.
When it was introduced, Online Role Playing Games began as single player games. However the arrival of the internet and the virtual world made developments in online role playing games. After that, players from all over the world began to enjoy the games in this genre. They were able to participate in multiplayer games with players from all parts of the globe.
These games have grown to be an online gamer sensation that RPG companies discover ways to make it better. These improvements led multiplayer gaming into massively multiplayer online role playing games (MMORPGs) that continued to make online gaming more popular each year.
Challenges
These games are centered on stories which are more often than not, adventure and fictional in type. There are also centered on fantasy and mythological genres. Players have to reach a certain goal or complete a mission in order to advance further into the game. These missions and challenges are often called “quests”.
Some of these involve chasing off dragons, fighting evil wizards and masters, and saving damsels in distress. The outcomes of these games are dependent on the characters strengths, characteristic, and skills.
Little More About the Avatars
As stated, players have the power to customize their characters according to their preferences. However, the improvement of there characters are highly dependent on the course of the game. Enhancing their character’s skills, attributes, equipment, and special abilities are important so as to achieve the goal of the game.
Improvements and achievements are often given as rewards for accomplishing their quests and overcoming obstacles. In short, these rewards have to be earned.
Multiplayer Modes
Among the online role playing games, Diablo was the first to come up with multiplayer options. Multiplayer modes became popularity during the mid1990s. Then after, they became massively multiplayer online role playing games (MMORPGs) because of its popularity.

5 Massively Multiplayer Online RPGs (MMORPG) in 4 years – Shadow Company, MMO Guild
Star Wars Online Role Playing Game
Name another movie that causes people to fall in line in all major movie houses days before its official distribution.
Name another movie that has endured the test of time, and 23 years after its release, is still hailed as a technological wonder in modern day cinema.
Name another movie about a time long, long ago, and a place far, far away, that has captured the imagination of three generations and still remains as a force to reckon with in the future.
Better yet, don’t name a movie. Name a franchise that is capable of all the above.
Indeed, we are talking about Star Wars. Its success, both artistic and commercial, has transcended the confines of the silver screen into the annals of popular culture. Every product related to the franchise is awaited with bated breath. And Star Wars Galaxies is no exception.
Star Wars Galaxies Was The Most Anticipated MMORPG Prior To Its Release
Star Wars Galaxies is a Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG) that spans the known universe of George Lucas’ two trilogies. From the imperial world of Coruscant, to the dessert fields of Tatooine, to the jungles of Endor, Star Wars Galaxies perfectly represents George Lucas’ vision of his fictional universe. You could travel via a variety of interstellar ships. You could even partake of professions straight from the films themselves, like the medic, the scout, the brawler, the marksman, the entertainer, and the artisan. You’d have to pattern these professions according to the race you would choose for your character.
And Star Wars Galaxies is an MMORPG abundant with races! Whether you want to be a human like Luke Skywalker or Han Solo, or a Wookie like Chewbacca, or one of the more obscure races like the Mon Calamari or the Rodians, Star Wars Galaxies got you covered. Your race will determine your proficiencies in this MMORPG. Wookies are stronger, for instance. Humans are more balanced.
Star Wars Galaxies was the most anticipated MMORPG before it was released late in 2005. People waited for years, holding off subscriptions to other MMORPG programs, just to see what Star Wars Galaxies has to offer. The advance orders for this MMORPG are astounding. It is one of the bestselling games of 2005, even before it was officially distributed!
But Is It True That Star Wars Galaxies Is Just An MMORPG For The Fans?
There’s no denying the popularity of the Star Wars franchise to majority of our populace. As a result, anything related to the franchise is met with the highest of expectations.
In fact, these expectations are often very high that the products so released fail to meet them. This is the fate that befell Star Wars Galaxies.
Star Wars Galaxies is not a bad MMORPG, mind you. It’s just that people expected so much from this game. Star Wars Galaxies was to be their chance to live the life of a jedi or a bounty hunter, or perhaps even a hutt. But like most MMORPG programs, Star Wars Galaxies is bound by certain limitations, technical and otherwise.
As a result, people did not get everything that they have come to expect. And Star Wars Galaxies was widely viewed as a disappointment. People failed to see the splendors that the game offered. Instead, they dwelled on what this MMORPG is not.
Not all the geographies of the Star Wars universe were represented in the MMORPG, for example. And this is a big deal for many diehard Star Wars fans. In the same light, not all the races made it to this MMORPG as well.
And though there are a wide variety of professions available in Star Wars Galaxies, a majority of them are not really that engaging. Let’s face it, an MMORPG can be quite a repetitive experience, and no game is spared from this. What more when you have go through such an MMORPG doing some menial chores?
Star Wars Galaxies is also overly complicated for an MMORPG. Instead of three basic meters for HP, MP and SP, which is the usual fare for most MMORPG systems, Star Wars Galaxies has 3 meters for each category, jacking up the total number of meters you should be aware of to nine. This is quite daunting, even for the most dedicated player.
Star Wars Galaxies Remain A Force To Be Reckoned With In The MMORPG Scene
Nonetheless, with familiar places and characters, a faithful soundtrack, and a gamut of movie-inspired missions, Star Wars Galaxies is an excellent addition to the ever-expanding plethora of MMORPG offerings. It will appeal to fans of the films, most of all, but it has enough exciting features to capture the interests of MMORPG aficionados the world over.
No wonder that it has remained as one of the MMORPG programs with the most number of subscriptions, despite its flaws. Truly, Star Wars Galaxies has the Force by its side.

EVE Online Mac Client Now Available
Great news Apple fans. Your favorite Icelandic computer game company, CCP Games, released the Mac version of the Trinity client for EVE. The EVE Online Mac client has the same functionality as the Windows client, and provides a point and click interface to an online world set in space. Flying in the face of established methods of MMO scaling (splitting the player base across multiple different server instances) EVE has a single shared instance. When there are 30,000 players logged into the game, you can find and interact with each and every one.
If you’ve never heard of EVE, now’s the time to get started! The client is available now (and EVE Online Mac has been available since November of 2007), making CCP one of the few companies to simultaneously release apps for Mac, Linux and Windows at the same time. The EVE client allows you to connect to the most successful science fiction massively multiplayer online game on the market. With over 5,000 solar systems to explore, all lavishly ginned up with space graphics from nebulas to planets to the obligatory star smashing battleships, frigates and destroyers, the EVE experience ties you to four factions carving a new civilization out of an intergalactic dark age.
EVE Online Mac allows you to pilot your ships, building up skills over time (with EVE’s peculiar “skills increase over time, even if you’re not logged in”) skill building system. The concept of training skills may seem odd, especially if you have player other MMOs like World of Warcraft, where progression is level based and requires grinding to gain XP.
Within EVE, you perform a number of missions, like mining, hunting down pirates, and building things to build up your resource bases, and get better gear; there’s more to do than just random carnage against randomly generated computer characters; most of the challenge of EVE comes from the way that security zones (how much law and order is maintained) vary from system to system throughout the galaxy. As the law quotient drops, the social dynamics change and the rewards (and risks) go up, with lots of EVE corporations coalescing into alliances and more to police their own areas of space. As a downloader of EVE Online Mac, you can take part in this very deep gaming experience, mining, building, patrolling and crushing your enemies as the universe burns around you.
Aimed at the older player, EVE’s unique approach to skill training means that players don’t need to spend as much time logged on as with other MMORPGs. With a free 14 day trial available, new players get the chance to try out the EVE Online Mac client and enter this vast and entertaining gaming universe.
