What exactly is MMORPG? How does it differ from games like WoW and in what way is it different than a RPG? Is it what they refer to as a “Turn Based Game” like you are attacking with a bunch of people and you do your attack and then you have to wait for others in the group to attack in order before you can attack? Truth is I really am still new to gaming compared to many of you, for me it was nothing but FPS for years and then I found The WItcher series and am into RPG’s Oh I played the Half-Life series as well and Dishonored an am getting into racing games as well.
MMORPG stand for Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game.
it basically means its online, and a lot of people. WoW is a MMORPG, there is no difference.
In my opinion though, not a lot of roleplaying goes on anymore in the MMORPG’s.
