	Massively multiplayer online game - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Some MMOGs are played on a mobile device (usually a phone) and are thus Mobile MMOG or MMMOG or 3MOG.
		The first graphical MMOG, and a major milestone in the creation of the genre, is the multi-player flight combat simulation game Air Warrior by Kesmai on the GEnie online service, which first appeared in 1987.
		The popularity of MMOGs was mostly restricted to the computer game market until the sixth-generation consoles, with the launch of Phantasy Star Online on Dreamcast and the emergence and growth of online service Xbox Live.

	MMOG Exit Motivation Research
		MMOGs require that achievements are recorded over a long period of time and thus have a permanence that is lacking in MMOGs.
		Given claims that between 12% and 16% of all MMOG players are female (Yee, 2002b), this possibly suggests that the sources used to collect respondents from may be male dominated or that female MMOG players were less likely to respond to the exit survey.
		It also perhaps indicates that these MMOG players are on the leading edge of internet technology, but whether they have purchased high-speed access to improve their MMOG experience or already had high-speed access and found it useful to have when playing MMOGs is impossible to say.

	The Narrative-Nudge MMOG
		MMOG economies to date are not satisfying as world-simulations and they are not satisfying as games.
		MMOGs can never be virtual worlds until they abandon the character as the primary unit of persistence.
		This is the dream of many MMOG players: they beg for gameworlds in which their actions matter, in which there are events of consequence.

	Gamasutra - Features - "The Birth Of The Mobile MMOG"
		According to MMO Worlds (www.mmoworlds.com), there are almost 60 MMOGs on the market today (not counting the various expansion packs for games like EverQuest), and many times that number of MMOGs under development.
		Most PC games have a life span of just a few months, whereas MMOGs can last for years partly because of their tight relationship with players and their ability to evolve the game world around the player.
		MMOGs often adopt a business model whereby the income is less dependent on a middleman (i.e., a retailer), so a larger part of the money can be reinvested into to the game and/or company.

	Stratics Central - How to Build an MMOG...
		In practical terms, you may be the longest-serving player on every one of the top ten MMOG's, but you have probably have no direct real experience of building one, and “walking the walk” is a heck of a lot harder than “talking the talk”.
		However, be very careful: the market for MMOG servers is far from mature, and only about 25% of the licensable MMOG server engines are worth using at all – in the long run the rest may cost you more time than they save.
		Making an MMOG work as a project and as a service is orders of magnitude more complex than producing a single-player game, and requires little in the way of games-industry-specific knowledge.

	E3 2005 MMOG Report
		Perpetual developers were demoing their upcoming MMOG behind closed doors, but they had a prominent banner and several legionnaires in full Roman armor promoting the game up and down the concourse.
		Also demoed at the ATI booth, V:SoH looks intriguing, but unfortunately their servers were down when I went to take a look at the title, so all they could show was a tour through some of the game world and dungeons to show off the artwork and level design.
		Koei was showing off their Age of Sail-themed MMOG at their booth at E3, but I did not get a chance to see it personally.

		Mmog worlds are pretty vast, and luckily the hard way is not the only way: Nearly all mmogs incorporate a few means of drastically shortening travels, the most common being teleportation networks where by passing a portal, a player is directly transported to another determined location.
		A friend who’s been playing EO for quite a while tells me he has trouble switching to mmogs where you have to be at the keyboard to journey anywhere.
		Mmogs are more than single player games with chat functions; make sure it shows.

	Game Matters: My first MMOG! (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		You see, I've never played an online MMOG and I picked WoW as my first experience, just to see what the attraction is. I started playing about a month ago, during the Xmas slow period.
		While MMOG's may be as 'stupid' and 'pointless' as a forum post or Blog, I'm well aware I may be missing something, which is why I always try to see alternative views.
		I previous didn't think I'd ever play an MMOG because of the monthly fees, but when you think about it, the fees work out to about the same as if you bought a new game every 4 months.

		Nov 13, 2004 8:14:17 PM IF MMOGs had been available when I was much younger, during the time that my personality and knowledge was dramatically being shaped, things would have been very different for me.
		If one doesn't speak the language of the MMOG as a native tongue, perhaps one is forced to increase one's proficiency at the language of the MMOG.
		Excellent training to become an office slave: MMOGs teach you how to be a hamster, pursue meaningless goals, feel entitled yet cope with a life of frustration resulting from higher powers rightfully treating you like crap.

		Most of the MMOG games under development follow the state of the art when it comes to the basic game play features listed above, adding new features to the list or slanting existing features in new directions.
		Another trend in MMOG sequels is to make it possible for players to develop their characters in non-confrontational ways (e.g.

	Fuel Games Blog : Making MMOG’s more Casual
		Currently, IMO, the most casual MMOG Puzzle Pirates is still more or less a typical MMOG game, with some really cool casual gameplay elements worked into it.
		I think the first sign that an MMOG is approaching the ability to appeal to a casual player is when hard core players don’t like it.
		If an MMOG wants to reach a casual audience, the entire experience needs to change, and I don’t think that new experience will appear to hard core gamers.

		I think that rather than addressing disparities in power between the researcher and his/her subjects, many of these norms actually enshrine those disparities, they underscore the idea that the "natives" somehow cannot be trusted to understand and look after their own best interests.
		October 18, 2004 07:59 AM Suddenly it occurs to me to ask whether EULAs are languaged in such a way that the MMOG is a private club, in which case even external reportage might be a no-no. I don't think there's any prohibition in current EULAs on speaking publicly about events in the Secondary World.

	TangognaT » MMOG info lit: don’t do it
		I think that the third places that students are naturally attracted to online are going to be sites that are more social than educational like ratemyprofessor (which has a find articles/research paper help section, isn’t that interesting) or thefacebook and not officially sponsored by or affiliated by a university.
		I think the idea of a virtual library where you’d have student avatars walking around talking to librarian avatars is kinda lame, and not very effective since so much research now is not dependent on being in a physical library.
		I’m not sure if the open, unstructured interactions of an MMOG are the best vehicle to help students find information quickly or pick up skills at the time of need.

		On a recently, rather long thread on Grimwell, the conversation recently turned towards the nature of Heroism in MMOGs.
		Something I hadn't really thought about all THAT much before was that there really isnt THAT much Heroism in your standard Hack and Slash MMOGs out there - the game mechanics are biased against Heroic attacks in general (You generally don't even THINK about taking on something higher con than you).
