| | Stratics Central - Adam Mateljan: Multiplayer vs. Massively Multiplayer |
| | There have been tons of games over the years that are multiplayer but at what point does a game graduate from being multiplayer to being an MMO? | | | The distinction between “multiplayer”; and “massively multiplayer,”; while clear to those of us in the industry, can hopefully be a little clearer to new consumers buying games for the first time, and to media folks who are just now starting to cover electronic entertainment. | | | The “multiplayer”; piece to that equation is simple: you must have at least two people playing, or at the least be capable of doing so. |

| | Massively Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Games: Papers |
| | Massively multiplayer games effectively convert human players into rule-based autonomous agents within software environments, but in this case, the ruleset that constrains what players can do in the gameworld is being manipulated by players who bring prior desires and goals, often incompatible ones, to the act of playing. | | | Currently, the most popular virtual worlds are massively multiplayer online roleplaying games (MMORPGs or MMOGs), such as Everquest, Star Wars Galaxies, Ultima Online or Lineage. | | | The question of whether the game itself or the prior instincts and desires of the players are producing particular kinds of persistent structures within these gameworlds is often difficult to answer. |

| | The ultimate problem with the massively multiplayer immersive gaming genre as it stands at the moment is a profound and depressing lack of innovation: since Microsoft/Warner Brothers released the AI promotion (and I hate to be carping on about this), the amount of real and successful innovation in the field has been next to nil. | | | A lawyer by day, by night he follows massively multiplayer immersive games. | | | The main (weak) additions to the genre have been that of prize money (and there may well be problems with that, depending on what kind of game you're trying to build), and even more media tie-ins. |
