Whois & Analysis for mmotop.org

A massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) is a video game that combines aspects of a role-playing video game and a massively multiplayer online game.

An online game is a video game that is either partially or primarily played through the Internet or any other computer network available.

Online games are ubiquitous on modern gaming platforms, including PCs, consoles and mobile devices, and span many genres, including first-person shooters, strategy games, and massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPG).

In 2019, revenue in the online games segment reached $16.9 billion, with $4.2 billion generated by China and $3.5 billion in the United States.

Since the 2010s, a common trend among online games has been to operate them as games as a service, using monetization schemes such as loot boxes and battle passes as purchasable items atop freely-offered games.

Unlike purchased retail games, online games have the problem of not being permanently playable, as they require special servers in order to function.

A massively multiplayer online game (MMOG or more commonly MMO) is an online video game with a large number of players on the same server.

MMOs usually feature a huge, persistent open world, although there are games that differ.

These games can be found for most network-capable platforms, including the personal computer, video game console, or smartphones and other mobile devices.
