“The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world,”
(Half-Life 2, a video game character)

What is an online game?
Online games aren’t just a fun way to shorten time, its but a unique way to meet and contact other people. Thousands of gamers could say that playing online is about friendship and cooperation, even strategy not just methodically killing someone.

Almost all games are a viable social network close to some sort of facebook because players focus on teamwork, form groups and clans with like-minded people and even seek greater relationships with other players.

MMOs can feature millions of players interacting with each other in the same environment. These games are social by nature as they allow players to band together and complete story line based missions, or test their skills by fighting each other.

At the start of the game, the user creates a character, who might be a representation of the owner, and customizes its physical appearance. Since many games involve some combat, players also outfit their characters with armor and weapons, as well as choose their “profession.” Many popular game titles follow a fantasy theme, so most professions have magical abilities like healing other players or raising undead minions. Many more is about future, reality and else. While the process seems simple, players may spend hours agonizing over the perfect result in their profile; some of them donate to receive bonuses. The player is free to explore the vast, digital worlds and interact with other players and smaller ones to explore on their own. With millions of players, there are plenty of people to go to adventure with.
