Online multiplayer games give a platform of playing the games against a real person


Gone are the days when people use to get excited by arranging
bricks on computer. Game maniacs now need more complex games
with high level of difficulty and games with tough opponents.
Here comes the origin of multiplayer games. In a multiplayer
game many players can play simultaneously the same game. The
players in the game could be the opponents like in a car racing
game or could be a part of a same group to achieve the same
objective like fighting a war with a common opponent. To play a multiplayer game one has to be on a computer network.
There are online games in which user can go online and play the
game with other players on internet. Online multiplayer games give a platform of playing the games
against a real person. Virtual players can also be created in
where other players in the game are managed by computer itself.
A mix of virtual and real players can also be created. Online Role Playing Games (Online RPG) are the games in which
player plays a role like a hero to save the territory or a
negative role like in Mafia Family. Mafia has become a very
famous multiplayer game. Other famous multiplayer games are
World of Warcraft, Star Wars: The Old Republic, Supremacy 1914,
Supreme Destiny etc. Drugrunners, Kings of Babylon, Samurai Of
Legend World 2 and Mech Crusaders are also catching up these
days. World of Warcraft is an action based game (RPG) and is famous
because of its nice graphics, excellent sound effects, easy to
use interface. It can be played by anyone, a beginner as well as
an expert. Supremacy 1914 is a strategy based game (RPG). It can be played
by up to 10 participants. Players have to take control of Europe
using diplomatic as well as military skills. Supreme Destiny is another online multiplayer game. It has
excellent graphics and sound effects. The most important thing
about this game is that despite of excellent 3d effects it needs
very basic system configuration and could be run on any general
computer configuration available these days. Multiplayer games are available for on many websites on
internet. There are hundreds of games available for each
category like racing, strategy based, fight based etc. Some
games need basic system resources while other may need high
configuration system with a high speed internet connection. Studies have shown that the emotions players feel while playing
a multiplayer online role-playing game are very strong, to the
extent that 8.7% of male and 23.2% of female players in a
statistical study have had an online wedding.
