Online roleplaying games

The topic i talked about today in the class was online roleplaying games. It was started with a introduction of what a roleplaying game is and described what differentiates its online version from the former. Pros and cons of the online games were also discussed. Improving social skills and group dynamics were the main drivers in the pros part whereas addiction and developing aloofness to the real life took the top spot for discussion in the cons section.

  1. Most of us have played PC or Console games like PS2,an online role playing game though a PC game, forms a different genre of gaming. I haven't played such a game, but I've played mutli-player games over the LAN. So, one day it would be good to get a taste of such games :)

  3. There are some disadvantages to online gaming including the lack of communication and family interaction.A possible disadvantage is that individuals may develop an unhealthy addiction and begin to neglect other areas of their life. This is seen more often in online multiplayer games such as World of Warcraft, Everquest or Starcraft.
