massively multiplayer online games (MMOs)

Massively Multiplayer Online games (MMOs) are digital games that allow thousands of players to coexist in a shared virtual world simultaneously. These games often feature expansive environments, ongoing updates, and social interactions like teaming up or competing with others. Players can explore, complete quests, build characters, and participate in events within a persistent online space maintained by servers. MMOs foster online communities and cooperation, blending gaming, social interaction, and sometimes economic systems, creating an ongoing, dynamic experience that evolves based on player activity. Examples include World of Warcraft and Final Fantasy XIV.
