"The World"(Thats what they call the game) is a popular massive
multiplayer online role playing game (MMORPG) set in a fantastic
universe of strange lands, monsters, treasure, and adventure
in the game. Player's access the game by virtual reality headset's(I
think that's really cool) and connecting through the internet,
assuming new identities as on the computer's in "The World".
Players have a choice of different class'es, or type's of
character's, each with their own abilitie's that determine
how they appear to others and what items they can use in the
game. Once inside this virtual universe, players are free
to pursue their own goals, either adventuring by themselves
or joining with others in parties. The most common place to
visit is the dungeon, a set of subterranean caverns containing
portals that reveal fierce creatures to be fought and treasures
to be collected. As a player defeats these monsters, he/she
gains experience and collects items in an effort to become
more powerful, explore more dangerous areas and experience
more of the game world. The system administrators also arrange
periodic 'events' where players can participate in adventures
not available in the regular game. Players can contact each
other through email to arrange group excursions or simply
chat and interact within (The World) |
