Web3, which has long been based on the idea of returning ownership to users, has found its continuation in the MMORPG genre. The virtual world of an open format in which users can interact with each other without any difficulties in communication is something that from the very beginning had great prospects...

What are MMORPGs?

MMORPGs (massively multiplayer online role-playing games) is a type of video game that combines elements of role-playing games and a multiplayer virtual world.

The main difference between the MMORPG genre and regular RPG is that in MMORPG users can play with each other online, in an open world. While the RPG format limits players to the offline world without collective interaction.

MMORPGs have a number of features of the genre that make them unique in nature.

Permanent game environment
Adaptation in the game environment is one of the important factors of gaming success. Due to its constancy, MMORPG will help you quickly delve into the process and receive rewards for passing levels.

Social interaction
Established online communication channels help to improve your gaming performance. In some MMORPGs there are specific group tasks that require a certain level of group relations between participants. Also, MMORPGs often have the option of creating or joining an existing clan.

Role-playing
In any MMORPG, as well as in RPG, it is possible to choose a game character. But the main difference between them is that in MMORPG you can teach your character certain skills that are recorded in the game books. Thus, your character can try on different roles every day, while remaining the same character that was with you from the very beginning.

A virtual world that exists continuously
The MMORPG world exists separately from your supervision. That is, when you stop playing it, virtual life continues in it and changes occur. This concept gives a sense of analogy between the physical and virtual worlds and increases gaming enthusiasm!

Game culture
The MMORPG ecosystem includes a developed subculture that functions successfully. In the MMORPG universe, players define their own rules, taboos, and slang. This internal microclimate helps gamers to quickly adapt to the gameplay.

History of MMORPGs

The history of video games developed gradually and was not always a super advanced technology. But thanks to the concept of the global Internet, where the community actively interacts with each other and can play any role, the MMORPG genre was created.

And so, where did it all start?
In 1978, MUD (Multi-User Dungeon) appeared, which is considered the very first MMORPG project. All gameplay was text-based, that is, it was necessary to prescribe each game command (movement, fighting monsters, and collecting resources). A little later, a game prototype began to appear, which began to resemble the usual concept of the game. Over time, the MUD genre began to gain momentum and gain popularity among users.

In 1992, a more significant project was released, in which mass events were involved - which became a defining component of the MMORPGs genre. The game was called Legends of Future Past.

1996 was the year of birth of the Meridian 59 project, which is still alive and has fans. The game became innovative because the gameplay was built in the first person, which later became an integral part of the MMORPG world.
In the same year, The Realm Online was released, which was developed in 2D format and had a significant advantage over its text-based ancestors.

1997 once and for all made its adjustments to the gaming world and we saw Ultima Online, which had a large three-dimensional universe, and the avatar was controlled from the third person. Today there are 9 Ultima Online game expansions!

Finally, at the end of the 20th century in 1999, Asheron's Call was released, which aims to combine all the best components of the previous projects, while being as unique as possible. A unique component of Asheron's Call was a large storyline that was able to unite gamers from all over the world.

Since the beginning of the 21st century, MMORPG developers did not even think to stop and the genre began to gain new momentum, improving graphics, gameplay, and thinking through the storyline to the smallest detail.

So, in 2004 there was a complete explosion in the gaming industry when World of Warcraft appeared on the game monitors, which quickly managed to overtake its competitors.

Now, talented developers know that the gaming business can bring good profits, so the MMORPG genre will develop further in the vector of advanced technologies.

How do MMORPG games interact with NFT?

Today, blockchain technology in MMORPGs contributes to the significant growth of the community due to the absence of fees for the consumption of game content. On the contrary, users can earn by spending time in the game. Integrating NFTs into MMORPGs strengthens human ownership of in-game assets and ensures that rewards are received for participation in the ecosystem.
