  Massively multiplayer online game - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
MMOGs create a persistent universe where the game continues playing regardless of whether or not anyone else is. Since these games strongly or exclusively emphasize multiplayer gameplay, few of them have any significant single-player aspects or client-side artificial intelligence.
Massively multiplayer online role-playing games, known as MMORPGs, are perhaps the most famous type of MMOG.

 A Short Insight On Massive Multiplayer Online Games - Concept, present and future trends - Softpedia
Thus, the concept of MMOG (massive multiplayer online game) was born.
The whole action of the game takes place in an imaginary, virtual world, hosted on the game developer’s servers, large areas of the game being interconnected within the game such that a player can traverse vast distances without having to switch servers manually.
For example, the game Tribes comes with a number of large maps a server plays in rotation (one at a time), but in the MMOG PlanetSide all map-like areas of the game are accessible via flying, driving, or teleporting.

John Lester, from the neurology department at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston has used MMOG Second Life as a learning tool for those with Aspergers.
The learning is a three stage process, first getting better at communicating with others on the island and making friends with people they’ve never met, then taking that experience to improve communications in the game at large, then in the real world.
They are also used to altering their physical world to cope with the real world, so this opportunity to build a virtual world and deal with others online makes sense.
