However, the most common route into the games is:</p>\n\n<ol>\n\t<li>Choose the game for you;</li>\n\t<li>Download the app or head to the website;</li>\n\t<li>Register with the service;</li>\n\t<li>Get playing!</li>\n</ol>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"What is a MMORTS?\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week1/images/3.png\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 555px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>The general premise of MMORTS games sees you build up a base using a range of resources, including an in-game currency, before then looking to expand. This may be by engaging with opponents in battle or even joining forces with them to conquer others. </p>\n\n<p>While many of the games are free-to-play, you should bear in mind that they do tend to offer you the chance to access further features, benefits and bonuses using cash.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Some MMORTS are f2p while most do feature in-game purchases\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/june/illustrations/26.png\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 555px;\" /></p>\n\n<h2>A history of MMORTS gaming</h2>\n\n<p>As we have already touched upon, the history of online strategy games can be traced back to the traditional real-time strategy genre.</p>\n\n<p>It is widely accepted that this type of gaming emerged at the start of the 1980s with titles like Utopia, although it reached a new level of popularity with the release of Dune II in the 1990s.</p>\n\n<p>Real-time strategy remains a hugely popular area, but its combination with MMO gaming in the past decade or so has seen it reach an incredible number of people across several key platforms.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"middle\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/11/RAD_RedGirl_B76234_970x66_Android_iOS_English&IMG=1MTM.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2>What are the most notable MMORTS games?</h2>\n\n<p>Among the best strategy games available today is Clash of Clans, which was first released by Supercell in 2012, but has grown to be a gaming phenomenon. Six years on from its launch, the mobile game remains lucrative with analysts estimating that it still generates around $1.5 million a day.</p>\n\n<p>In contrast, a game like Edgeworld has a more futuristic outlook and allows you to blast off into space for adventures.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"MMORTS games are quite unique\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/june/illustrations/27.png\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 555px;\" /></p>\n\n<h2>Playing MMORTS games on mobile</h2>\n\n<p>One of the real joys of war strategy games is that they offer a flexibility you do not often get in gaming. As MMORTS titles tend to be browser strategy games or app-based, you can easily log in and get involved in the action whether you are sat at a PC or using a smartphone or tablet.</p>\n\n<p>Mobile gaming has grown in the past decade or so from being a casual pastime to a serious part of the gaming world and Clash of Clans and other MMORTS titles have been fundamental to that change.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Mobile Gaming & MMORTS Games\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_7/11_Mobile.png\" style=\"width: 250px; height: 300px;\" /></p>\n\n<h2>MMORTS games and eSports</h2>\n\n<p>The world of professional gaming – known as eSports – has grown massively in the past decade or so with the very best players doing battle on a range of titles to win a share of some significant levels of prize money.</p>\n\n<p>It is a world where MMO gaming has made a significant impact, particularly through MOBA titles like League of Legends and Dota 2. But what about MMORTS games?</p>\n\n<p>A growing number of competitions are being held in relation to titles like Clash of Clans, but it is safe to say there is a long way to go until online strategy games reach the heights of the biggest titles in eSports. There is huge potential, however, so it will be interesting to see how this develops in the years ahead.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"MMORTS Gamers\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/june/illustrations/28.png\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 555px;\" /></p>\n\n<h2>The future of online strategy games</h2>\n\n<p>Real-time strategy games have a long history, but the inevitable question which arises is where can the genre and MMORTS go next?</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"505\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/SD5lqUqceVw\" width=\"853\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>The developments seen in virtual reality in recent years have been nothing short of incredible, with the technology beginning to have a significant impact on gaming. </p>\n\n<p>VR elements are slowly beginning to creep into MMO gaming in general, so it feels like only a matter of time until MMORTS will embrace its capabilities. </p>\n\n<p>After all, wouldn’t it be amazing to step foot into an MMORTS game and gain a different outlook on the tactical decisions you make?</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Many players have tried MMORTS games without even realizing it!\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_7/8_Thumbs_up.png\" style=\"width: 250px; height: 300px;\" /></p>\n\n<h2>Get involved in online strategy games</h2>\n\n<p>While a huge number of people may not be familiar with what MMORTS means, it is remarkable to think that many will have probably played such a game either on their PC or on a mobile device.</p>\n\n<p>Online strategy games have become a much-loved part of the gaming world, giving players the chance to get absorbed in action based in incredible environments.

It was a type of recorder, therefore it would of had holes drilled into its side that would enable it to be blown into and notes created depending on which holes were covered at the time.</p>\n\n<p>One example of a cow’s horn was found in Västerby, Sweden. Another was discovered in Konsterud, Värmland, which had five holes drilled into its side and was 27 cm in length.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Viking Lyre was an integral part in their music\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/june/vikingmusic/vikingmusic2.jpg\" style=\"width: 640px; height: 360px;\" /></p>\n\n<h3>The Lyre</h3>\n\n<p>The “lyre” (sometimes also referred to as a harp) is mentioned in many of the sagas, and sadly due to them being out of wood, no examples have been discovered to this date.</p>\n\n<h3>Wooden Instruments in Viking Music</h3>\n\n<p>Other such instruments that the Vikings used were animal skin drums and a variety of “woodwind” instruments, the latter of which include various flutes and pipes made out of bone and wood. A number of these instruments have been recreated by Danish musicians and played.</p>\n\n<p>All Viking Instruments, including the Viking drum would of been used as a part of Viking war music, however they would of also been used alongside Viking poetry and music as well to enhance the performance and add effect.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Viking Flute\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/june/vikingmusic/vikingmusic3.jpg\" style=\"width: 640px; height: 360px;\" title=\"Viking Flute\" /></p>\n\n<h2>The Only Ancient Viking Song Known?</h2>\n\n<p>Although there are many songs that can be dated back to ancient Scandinavian history, most of these songs can then be linked to broader European culture and thus would of been adopted by the Norse people at later dates, once they began to integrate into the societies around them.</p>\n\n<p>However, not long after the Viking people learned of a way to record their history and write down music, a song was carved into a piece of wood. Carved on a small piece of wood from the 14th century, found in Denmark, the first bars of an ancient song can be read; \"I Dreamed a Dream\"</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"505\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/lirMtNJHKPU\" width=\"853\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>This song was written in runes in a manner that was typical of this age in time, however it is believe that this song was not new at all, but was rather one that was passed down from one generation to the next, as was typical.</p>\n\n<p>It is believe to be a line from an ancient Viking song. Thus highlighting one little fragment of the history surrounding the mysterious Viking music.</p>\n\n<h2>War Chants in Viking Culture</h2>\n\n<p>Viking war music would have included numerous chants in which their warriors would sing in unity to strike both fear and dread into the hearts of their opponents. The Vikings were skilled warriors and the war chant was a way of showing strength and coordination to your foes.</p>\n\n<p>As with Viking music in general, no known ancient Viking war chants are known today, but still it is something to this very day that is being practiced. The latest example of this is the <em>“Viking Thunder Clap”</em>, which was performed by Iceland after their victory over England in 2006, then again during the<strong> FIFA 2018 World Cup.</strong></p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"505\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/mav2kkvakGY\" width=\"853\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>This is a modern day example of a “war chant” proving that old traditions still live on, even if the specifics are lost.</p>\n\n<h2>Viking Music in Pop Culture</h2>\n\n<p>Even though much of the Viking history has been lost due their inability to record their own acts and great feats they achieved, the spirit of the Viking warrior and performer live on to this very day. Certain aspects of Viking culture is still celebrated and revered. Modern day interpretations of Viking and Norse music are also featured in games, building the mood and helping immerse the player in the fantasy world.</p>\n\n<p>In addition to being featured prominently in video games, norse music has played a powerful role in a number of successful hit TV shows and movies, such as “Vikings” by the History channel and “The Last Kingdom” by Netflix.</p>\n\n<h2>Viking Music in a Nutshell</h2>\n\n<p>Not much is known about the history surrounding Viking music. Not much is known about their songs of love, peace and war, however, much <em>is </em>known about the ways of the Viking people and the lasting influence that they have left on this world.</p>\n\n<p>In addition to being warriors, they were craftsman, poets, musicians and without a doubt - they were even singers. Norse inspired music lives on to this day and has the ability to stir our hearts and souls, invoking powerful emotions whether it be through chant or song.</p>\n\n<p>Hopefully, one day more will be learned and discovered about Viking music, pulling back the curtain surrounding so much that is still unkown of this period in time, revealing a key part of Viking history.</p>\n","date":"7/28/2019"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2016/11/23.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13314"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/survival-games/"},"strings":{"title":"What are Survival Games?

In this guide, we'll look at what makes a game part of the survival genre, the key aspects of the genre, and survival's place in historical and contemporary gaming.</p>\n\n<h2>How Do you Play Survival Games?</h2>\n\n<p>When starting a survival game there are a few main concerns which you need to keep in mind.</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li><strong>Finding Supplies</strong>: As hunger and/or thirst are usually going to be an issue, your first concern is gathering enough of these to survive the first night, and then each day following.</li>\n\t<li><strong>Taking Shelter</strong>: The night in survival games tends to be more dangerous than the day. Sometimes this is because of increased monster count or strength, and other times it comes down to the lack of visibility. Whatever the case, finding shelter for the night should be among the top of your to-do list.</li>\n\t<li><strong>Crafting Some Gear</strong>: While you will usually start with at least some bare essentials when entering a survival game, finding real success often means upgrading or making better equipment, weapons, and tools. At the beginning of the game, you will only be able to create a few low-quality pieces, with better gear being locked behind gathering rarer and more dangerous-to-obtain crafting materials.</li>\n\t<li><strong>Researching New Unlocks</strong>: While not included in every survival game, research is still a common and very useful tool in many titles. Research not only unlocks better gear and recipes, but it can also provide passive bonuses such as increased run speed or stamina.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Primitive Shelter in a survival game\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/june/illustrations/23.png\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 555px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>Unlike their more action-heavy cousins, survival games tend to place mid to long-term planning as the most important component of the gameplay. </p>\n\n<p>Calculate what supplies you have, how long they will last, what you might need to continue onward, and where you might best search and set up a base, and you'll be well on your way to understanding proper survival game flow.</p>\n\n<h2>Where Do Survival Games Originate?</h2>\n\n<p>UnReal World, released in 1992, is generally considered the most significant example of early survival games. Set in Iron Age Finland, this game uses a simple – by our 21st-century standards – graphical style to portray the challenge of survival against the harsh elements of the freezing environment. </p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"505\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/0tntaL4DC3E\" width=\"853\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>Including systems as complex as frostbite to individual body parts, UnReal World is a punishing and complex game despite the limitations of early '90s hardware.</p>\n\n<p>One of the more interesting necessities of the game, the limited graphics, ties into just how complex the underlying systems can be. The genre places a greater focus on technical aspects than many of its counterparts. It is quite simply not possible to emulate harsh environments in a realistic manner without an enormous budget. </p>\n\n<p>Because of this, some of the most elaborate survival games, like Dwarf Fortress, rely on ASCII graphics to illustrate their worlds.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Ancient times inspire some survival games today\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_7/9_Stoneage.png\" style=\"width: 250px; height: 300px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>While modern survival games are among the most popular titles in the world, a lot of the current mainstream visibility comes from horror games like Resident Evil or Silent Hill. </p>\n\n<p>These incorporate heavy survival aspects and have gained international success, helping drive mainstream interest into more traditional survival games.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"middle\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/11/RAD_RedGirl_B76234_970x66_Android_iOS_English&IMG=1MTM.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2>Which Are the Most Popular Survival Games Right Now?</h2>\n\n<p>One of the most popular games in the world at the moment and for the last few years is Minecraft, which is a free survival game for certain platforms but paid-for on others. </p>\n\n<p>A seemingly simple sandbox game with deceptive depth, Minecraft has shown it has the initial appeal to draw in gamers, and the long-term creative and social opportunities to keep players of all ages engaged.</p>\n\n<p>Also popular are games like Rust and ARK: Survival Evolved. These all illustrate the movement of the genre towards an online environment, with both PvE and PvP acting to boost interest and maintain viability over years. </p>\n\n<p>When it comes to free survival games, offerings are far sparser, though a few multiplayer survival games like Unturned are starting to pave a free-to-play path in what is traditionally a genre that's expensive to develop.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Survival Games - Gathering Resources\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/june/illustrations/24.png\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 555px;\" /></p>\n\n<h2>Can Survival Games be Played Cooperatively?</h2>\n\n<p>Yes, they can be. Minecraft and Rust are two of the most famous examples of multiplayer, and both have enormous popularity in their cooperative modes. </p>\n\n<p>This has come about not only because it lets friends and strangers work together to survive and create, but also thanks to allowing teams to pit themselves against strangers and rivals.</p>\n\n<p>This can be tricky when it comes to longer sessions, as it leads to situations where players might have to remain online for long sessions in order to defend their bases from destruction and looting. </p>\n\n<p>Fortunately, there are often offline protection systems that help alleviate these potential threats, meaning players aren’t going to have to see their base protection as a full-time experience.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Survival Games as PVP\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/june/illustrations/25.png\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 555px;\" /></p>\n\n<h2>Are Survival Games Suited to eSports?</h2>\n\n<p>They could be, though perhaps not quite yet in the current environment. Most of the current big names in eSports such as MOBAs and FPS games rely on shorter match times, and this is not something possible with most survival games. </p>\n\n<p>We have already seen some steps in this direction with SCUM, a more battle-royale-style eSports-compatible game which leans heavily on survival elements. The survival genre could also take a page from Fortnite's book, in that free survival games could act as an enormous opening draw.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Surviving survival games\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_7/17_working_together.png\" style=\"width: 250px; height: 300px;\" /></p>\n\n<h2>What Will Survival Games Be Like in the Future?</h2>\n\n<p>AR and VR represent untapped opportunities for open-world survival games, especially when it comes to immersion and real-life integration. </p>\n\n<p>While there are VR versions of current open-world survival games like Minecraft available, they tend to run into issues of compatibility when it comes to the nature of the genre. </p>\n\n<p>Multiplayer survival games tend to require a considerable time investment, and our current VR and AR technology is often straining on the eyes for these long periods.</p>\n\n<p>As these issues have already improved with improving technology, though, so we can only hope the future maintains this same trend.</p>\n\n<p>Despite a sometimes rocky history, survival games still stand today as one of the most popular and beloved genres. Not just cult classics anymore, breakout games like Minecraft have become powerful forces in international media and mainstays in pop culture. With VR and AR just now a mainstream reality, the future for survival games has never been so bright.</p>\n","date":"7/21/2019"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/covers/general/2_b.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13313"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/mmofps-games/"},"strings":{"title":"What are MMOFPS games?","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"300000","description":"<p>MMOFPS games offer a huge range of opportunities for <a href=\"/en/games/genre/mmo-games/\">MMO</a> fans <em>and </em>FPS lovers alike, but so far this combination of styles can lack major representation. </p>\n\n<p>While there is some difficulty in the combination of these genres, there is little doubt that this crossover hides enormous, largely untapped potential.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p>With the world of gaming increasingly shifting to a more <a href=\"/en/games\">online</a> focus, this genre is one poised for a huge hit to bring it into the mainstream. </p>\n\n<p>In this guide, we take a look at exactly what qualifies as an MMOFPS, how these titles relate to current MMO and FPS games, and what examples have so far set the stage as the best examples in the MMOFPS genre. </p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"MMOFPS weapons\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_7/4_Revolver.png\" style=\"width: 250px; height: 300px;\" /> </p>\n\n<h3>What are FPS games?</h3>\n\n<p><strong>FPS stands for First-Person Shooter</strong>. These games are played from the viewpoint of the player character, where utilization of firearms and <a href=\"/en/games/genre/shooting-games/\">shooter</a> combat is the major part of the gameplay loop.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"James Bond as an MMOFPS\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/june/illustrations/19.png\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 555px;\" /> </p>\n\n<p>While not the first example of the genre, FPS games were popularized with the release of <strong>Doom </strong>on December 10, 1993. Doom proved so popular a game that for years after it, before the term FPS was settled on, many games in this genre were instead known as <strong>\"Doom clones\"</strong>. </p>\n\n<p>Since then, though, FPS games have become some of the most popular titles to play. A large part of this comes from <a href=\"/en/games/genre/multiplayer-games/\">online multiplayer gameplay</a>, which reached the mainstream in a major way with the 2001 release of the Halo series on the original Xbox. </p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"middle\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/11/RAD_RedGirl_B76234_970x66_Android_iOS_English&IMG=1MTM.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<p>Originally, FPS games were arguably only well suited to <a href=\"/en/games/platform/pc-games/\">PC</a> given the difficulty of adapting their controls to a gamepad device. Over time though, as dual-stick controls and auto-aim features improved, this issue was mitigated to the point where the differences between PC and console control capabilities are now minor.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"MMOFPS are usually suitable for all platforms\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_7/14_Handheld_Consoles.png\" style=\"width: 250px; height: 300px;\" /></p>\n\n<h2>What are MMOFPS games?</h2>\n\n<p>MMOFPS games are titles within the greater MMO genre which have gameplay primarily informed by traditional FPS gaming. Among these are games like the Destiny and PlanetSide series.</p>\n\n<h2>What makes MMOFPS games a difficult genre to build?</h2>\n\n<p>The difficulty in creating these games is mostly due to the differently targeted playlengths of each of the MMO and FPS online genres. </p>\n\n<p>While MMOs have long been the type of game which favors extended periods of play, FPS online games tend to have sessions lasting around half an hour, often considerably less. Finding an effective way to combine these models and their fanbases has proven a very challenging task.</p>\n\n<p><img alt=\"MMOs favors extended periods of play, while FPSs tend to last less than half an hour\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/june/illustrations/20.png\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 555px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>Also factored in here is the inclusion of the standard MMO monthly pay model. While this is accepted among MMO games, players of FPS games are used to a single upfront payment for their normally LAN-based game, making the establishment of this system a problematic sell.</p>\n\n<p>Countering this issue is the potential of a <a href=\"/en/games/category/free-to-play-games/\">free-to-play</a> model. These traditionally charge no upfront fees and earn their money through various in-game transactions. </p>\n\n<p>However, many leading developers are hesitant to engage in this model, with some preferring a full-priced game which then includes free-to-play microtransactions – a system often derided among video game traditionalists.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"MMOFPS as a free-to-play game\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_7/17_working_together.png\" style=\"width: 250px; height: 300px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>Another issue here is one which is less of a problem in PvE game but constitutes a real concern in <a href=\"/en/games/genre/pvp-games/\">PvP</a> – pay-to-win mechanics. In effect, these refer to direct gameplay advantages which can only be obtained through either monetary purchase or an exorbitant amount of grinding. </p>\n\n<p>As it skews the odds towards those who pay their way to victory, this can create a gulf of power between the haves and the have-nots.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"bottom\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/10/RAD_Team_B74910_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSU.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2>The History of MMOFPS</h2>\n\n<p>The earliest recorded game that can be thought of as an MMOFPS game was Underlight, released on the now-defunct MPlayer service in March of 1998. </p>\n\n<p>While it was a technological feat, the limitations of computer processing and bandwidth at the time meant that the combination of the two genres was not particularly cohesive. </p>\n\n<p>Because of this, when people ask what was the first MMOFPS, the most common answer is Neocron, a cyberpunk post-apocalyptic game released in 2002.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"505\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/y7Y6rc6xJjs\" width=\"853\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>The biggest effort and the one which ultimately proved the potential of the genre is still considered to be the original PlanetSide, released in May of 2003. </p>\n\n<p>With up to 399 players able to compete in a single battle, this title is generally thought to be the originator of the genre as it exists today.</p>\n\n<h2>Which Games are Considered MMOFPS?</h2>\n\n<p>The two biggest examples of the MMOFPS genre currently available are Destiny 2 and PlanetSide 2. Destiny has more of a traditional MMO loot and leveling-based focus, as players improve their characters and complete quests for experience, currency and gear rewards.</p>\n\n<p>PlanetSide 2 is more of a widescale battlefield type of game, with over a thousand players able to exist on a single map at the same time, compared to 10 or so in Destiny and depending on map conditions. </p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"MMOFPS games are very exciting and stimulating\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/june/illustrations/21.png\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 555px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>In fact, PlanetSide currently holds the world record for largest MMOFPS battle, with over 1158 players recorded in a single battle. Leveling in PlanetSide is comparatively tame, though there are elements of currency earning and unlockable progression.</p>\n\n<p>Perhaps the most direct form of MMOFPS came with Firefall, launched July 29, 2014. While initially hyped due to a strong emphasis on combining MMO and FPS games in the most coherent manner yet, the game was mismanaged and eventually shut down on July 7, 2017.</p>\n\n<h2>Would an MMOFPS Game Work in eSports?</h2>\n\n<p>Both MMOs and FPS games are represented within the world of eSports, so the combination of the two into an effective <a href=\"/en/blog/esports/\">eSport</a> is possible, even likely. To gain traction on this stage though first requires considerable fan interest and funding from both developers and the community.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"MMOFPS games from a different angle\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_7/11.png\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 555px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>While some of the bigger examples in the genre like Destiny have made progress in this regard, there is yet to be a breakout hit on the level of other successful eSports genres.</p>\n\n<p>MMOFPS games have long stood as a genre with massive potential. Despite this, we are yet to see a truly popular example of this genre, reaching the level of an MMO like World of Warcraft or an FPS like Halo. </p>\n\n<p>With interest in both sides of this genre only growing, a breakout hit remains only a matter of time. The only question left is, who will be the first to take the crown?</p>\n","date":"7/9/2019"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/covers/general/1_b.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13311"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/viking-locations/"},"strings":{"title":"Top Five Historic Viking Locations to Visit","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"420000","description":"<p>There are a lot of fantastic, well preserved Viking sites you can visit, such as The Viking Ship Museum in Oslo or in Roskilde, but if you want to see some real remains you need to go outside of the beaten track and visit the smaller towns of the Northern Hemisphere.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p>Below is our list of the top 5 fabulous spots to to visit, for anyone interested in learning more about this ancient Scandinavian culture.

Trelleborg Viking Fortress, Near Slagelse</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Viking location 1 - Trelleborg Viking Fortress\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/june/vikinglocations/viking_locations2.jpg\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 582px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>A Trelleborg, also known as a Viking ring fortress, is a type of circular fort.</p>\n\n<p>These fortresses were built in Scandinavia during the Viking Age and can largely be dated to the time period when Harold Bluetooth reigned as King of Denmark and Norway.</p>\n\n<p>They are believed to of been built after Harold Bluetooth lost control of the Danevirke and parts of Southern Jutland to the Saxons and were part of a defensive Viking network.</p>\n\n<p>Currently, we know of seven Viking ring fortress locations, although there were undoubtedly more, many of which are currently unknown or simply lost to time.</p>\n\n<p>Of the locations that we still know of, they are located in Denmark and Scania, Sweden. The names of these fortresses are as follows;</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li><a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aggersborg\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Aggersborg</a></li>\n\t<li><a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borgeby_Castle\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Borgeby</a></li>\n\t<li><a href=\"https://www.visitkoege.com/ln-int/koege/borgring-viking-castle-koege\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Borrering</a></li>\n\t<li><a href=\"https://nordmus.dk/en/u/vikingecenter-fyrkat-2/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Fyrkat</a></li>\n\t<li><a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonnebakken\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Nonnebakken</a></li>\n\t<li><a href=\"https://www.guidebook-sweden.com/en/guidebook/destination/trelleborgen-viking-fortress-in-trelleborg\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Trelleborgen</a></li>\n</ul>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"middle\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/11/RAD_RedGirl_B76234_970x66_Android_iOS_English&IMG=1MTM.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<p>The most historic of all of these locations is the first ring fortress to be discovered and the one that has given rise to the name of this piece of important Viking architecture, Trelleborg, excavated between the years 1936-1941.</p>\n\n<p>The Viking fortress of Trelleborg is located at Trelleborg near Slagelse on Sealand, which is an hours drive South of Copenhagen.</p>\n\n<p>At this location is a museum in which you will be able to view various artifacts that were discovered during the excavation of the fortress, as well as view modern day reconstructions of the 1,000 year old fortress.</p>\n\n<h2>2. Jelling, the Viking Town</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Viking location 2 - Jelling\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/june/vikinglocations/viking_locations5.jpg\" style=\"width: 909px; height: 720px;\" title=\"Jelling\" /></p>\n\n<p>The town of Jelling in Denmark is one of the most historic Viking locations that exist today.</p>\n\n<p>This small town is visited by over 150,000 tourists each and every year and for good reason.</p>\n\n<p>Located here are some of the most iconic pieces of Viking history, ancient burial mounds, runestones and the Jelling Church.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Jelling Grave Site\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/june/vikinglocations/viking_locations6.jpg\" style=\"width: 1024px; height: 768px;\" title=\"Jelling Grave Site\" /></p>\n\n<p>The oldest of these rune stones was raised by King Gorm the Old in memory of his wife, Thyra.</p>\n\n<p>The largest of the stones was later raised by Harald Bluetooth, who erected the stone in honor of his parents and in celebration of his recent victory over Denmark and Norway.</p>\n\n<p>In addition to these beautifully carved stones, we have the Viking burial mounds located in Jelling, which are a key part of Viking history and traditions.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"505\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/-XZLmQqJhYQ\" width=\"853\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>Finally, we have the Jelling Church itself, which was constructed in 1100 and marked the transition of Viking culture from paganism to Christianity.</p>\n\n<p>The construction of this church thus makes it one of the Vikings most critical pieces of architecture that survives to this day, as this was the start of the integration of the Vikings, into the broader world as a whole.</p>\n\n<p>Many consider the Jelling Church to be Denmark’s “birth certificate”.</p>\n\n<h2>3. The Settlement Exhibition, in Reykjavik</h2>\n\n<p>The Settlement Exhibition is located in Reykjavík, Iceland, created by the Reykjavik City Museum.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Viking location 3 - The Settlement Exhibition, Reykjavik\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/june/vikinglocations/viking_locations4.jpg\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 590px;\" title=\"The Settlement Exhibition, in Reykjavik\" /></p>\n\n<p>This location is based around a 10th century Viking longhouse, which was discovered in this location between the years 2001-2002.</p>\n\n<p>In addition to this Viking longhouse, the Settlement Exhibition also includes various other settlement era artifacts that were unearthed during excavation of the region.</p>\n\n<p>The unearthing of these artifacts marked the oldest relics of human habitation in Reykjavík, from before AD 871.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Viking Ship Art Reykjavik\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/june/vikinglocations/viking_locations8.jpg\" style=\"width: 960px; height: 638px;\" title=\"Viking Ship Art Reykjavik\" /></p>\n\n<p>This longhouse is considered to be a part of one of the oldest buildings in Iceland, as a whole and what is truly amazing, is that it has been preserved in the exact location that it was first constructed.</p>\n\n<p>In addition to witnessing this ancient piece of Viking history, you will be able to see reconstructions of what this longhouse would of looked like when it was standing, as well as learn about its construction and its function.</p>\n\n<p>Other Artifacts include great awk bones, fish oil lamps, an iron axe, as well many more rare pieces of ancient Viking history.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"505\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/v-4ClaAJOQ0\" width=\"853\"></iframe></p>\n\n<h2>4.

Ribe, Viking Center</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Viking location 5 - Ribe Town\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/june/vikinglocations/viking_locations17.jpg\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 666px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>Ribe is a small Danish town in southwest Jutland. Ribe is the oldest town in Denmark and is thus a crucial part of ancient Norse history.</p>\n\n<p>Located in Ribe is the Viking Center, which features authentic reconstructions of Viking locations from Ribe during the period of 710-980 AD.</p>\n\n<p>At the Ribe, Viking Center you are able to visit not only authentic Viking reconstruction sites and buildings, but also attend a Viking marketplace, harbour and attend Viking cooking events.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Ribe Viking Lodge\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/june/vikinglocations/viking_locations18.jpg\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 666px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>At the Viking market, you will experience an “atmosphere unrivalled”, in which you will be able to meet traders, warriors, craftsman, archers, jesters and many more. </p>\n\n<p>If you are looking to immerse yourself into what one of the oldest towns in Viking history felt like, then Ribe is a must visit location and destination in your historical Viking pilgrimage.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Viking Decorations Ribe\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/june/vikinglocations/viking_locations16.jpg\" style=\"width: 888px;

height: 720px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>First and foremost, was the Spartan’s primary weapon, <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dory_(spear)\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">the Dory</a>.</p>\n\n<p>As is often shown when representing a Spartan warrior, their main weapon of choice was known as a Dory, which was a long spear measuring between 7-9 feet in length. </p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https://plarium.com/en/strategy-games/sparta-war-of-empires/?plid=133408&pxl=seo#auth/sighup\"><img alt=\"Spartan warriors main weapon of choice was known as a Dory\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/sparta/screenshots/8.jpg\" style=\"width: 1000px; height: 650px;\" /></a></p>\n\n<p>Typically, the Dory was held overhanded, however, it could be held underhanded as well, when adopting a defensive positive, working in conjunction with their shield.</p>\n\n<p>A curved leaf shape, made of iron or bronze represented the point of the spear, while on the bottom was a spike. The latter was useful if the spear was broken during battle, allowing the spear to be used in a secondary manner.</p>\n\n<p>The benefits of wielding a Dory into battle were vast, as it gave the capable warriors reach and the benefit of a ranged attack if needed.</p>\n\n<p>The second weapon that was used in the Spartan army was the <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xiphos\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Xiphos</a>, a short and deadly sword that was even smaller than the average short sword used by most armies during this period of time.</p>\n\n<p>On average a short sword was two feet in length, however the Xiphos averaged between 12-18 inches.</p>\n\n<p>This difference in length allowed the Spartan warrior to wield the blade in incredibly close combat, allowing it to be wielded at times that a longer blade would not be able to be used.</p>\n\n<p>An alternative to the Xiphos was the <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kopis\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Kopis</a>, a curved sword that was used for hacking opponents, rather than piercing.

A crested mane of horse hair, often indicated a ranking officer.</p>\n\n<p>The Spartan shield, which we discussed previously was a rounded shield that was made of either bronze or wood, that could be used effectively as both a defensive and offensive piece of equipment.</p>\n\n<p>The letter lambda (Λ), standing for Laconia or Lacedaemon was painted on the Spartan warriors shield and was widely known during the period as a symbol of Sparta. This practice was adopted around 420 BC.</p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https://plarium.com/en/strategy-games/sparta-war-of-empires/?plid=133408&pxl=seo#auth/sighup\"><img alt=\"The Spartan warrior's shield was revered by their society\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/new/strategy_move.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<p>The Spartan shield was revered by their society and military families passed it on from one generation to the next.</p>\n\n<p>As body armor they wore bronze cuirasses, leg greaves and ankle guards to protect against slash attacks from their opponents.</p>\n\n<p>This armor would grow and evolve as warfare during the time period progressed, leading the Spartan armor to become even more lighter, allowing increased flexibility and mobility in combat.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"middle\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/11/RAD_RedGirl_B76234_970x66_Android_iOS_English&IMG=1MTM.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2>A Rigorous Life of Training From Birth</h2>\n\n<p>To put it simply, the life of a Spartan was not easy whether you were a man or a woman, as both were subjected to harsh demands and treatment from birth.</p>\n\n<p>Spartan warriors were however exclusively men and their lifetime of training as a warrior began from day one of birth.</p>\n\n<p>Babies were immediately inspected from the time of birth and were often discarded if any signs of defects were shown.</p>\n\n<p>A misconception is that they were tossed from a cliff if a defect was found, however, historians have shown that often times they were simply abandoned to the elements, in which they either succumbed, or were saved by a passer by.</p>\n\n<p>Spartan babies who passed inspection then had their constitution tested by being bathed in wine, rather than water.</p>\n\n<p>Their cries were typically ignored, as Spartan woman adopted a “tough love” approach and they were commanded never to fear darkness or solitude.</p>\n\n<p>Spartans believe this would result in hardened warriors from a young age, molding them into the men they wanted to represented their warrior society.</p>\n\n<h2>The Spartan Warriors Education Begins</h2>\n\n<p>At the age of seven, a Spartan boy was taken from his household and placed under the control of the state.</p>\n\n<p>This was known as the beginning of the Spartan agoge, or military training.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"At the age of seven, a Spartan boy would be taken from his household \" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week18/spartan_warrior/sparta4.jpg\" style=\"width: 539px; height: 777px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>At this point they were housed in communal barracks with other young children their age, where they were taught scholastics, warfare, stealth, hunting and athletics until the age of twelve.</p>\n\n<p>Hazing was a common practice and instructors actively encouraged it, along with fights amongst peers.</p>\n\n<p>Once reaching the age of twelve, they were then stripped of all clothing, except that of a red cloak, forced to sleep outside and make their bedding out of reeds or whatever material they could scavenge.</p>\n\n<p>They were encouraged to steal for food, however if they were caught, they would be vigorously punished for it.</p>\n\n<p>This taught them to survive and prepared them for the harsh campaigns of war, in which they would often experience below sub par living conditions for extended periods of time.</p>\n\n<h2>Once a Spartan Warrior, Always a Spartan Warrior</h2>\n\n<p>Becoming a Spartan warrior was not a choice, it was your duty and it was one that lasted a lifetime.</p>\n\n<p>Spartan men remained on reserve until the age of 60, and given the average life expectancy of the time, this often meant that almost the entirety of your adult life was devoted to the ways of warfare and the training that surrounded it.</p>\n\n<p>Spartan men were discouraged from marrying until the age of 30 and woman were not allowed to marry until they were 20.</p>\n\n<p>Although they could marry before this time, it was frowned upon, as all Spartan men had to live in the military barracks until they were 30 years old.</p>\n\n<p>If they married before this time, they had to live separately from their wives and therefore it was not common practice.</p>\n\n<p>The main point of marriage was not for love, but rather for producing future Spartan warriors. Therefore men were encouraged to marry healthy, strong childbearing woman, or risked facing ridicule for not doing so.</p>\n\n<p>Poor physical fitness was something that was seen with disgust across the board in Spartan society and Spartans were encouraged to stay in peak physical shape at all times, at all phases in their life.</p>\n\n<p>In fact, this was so important, that you could find yourself banished if you fell too poorly out of shape.</p>\n\n<p>In battle, you remained a Spartan warrior until the bitter end. To surrender was considered the ultimate disgrace, resulting in Spartan military units fighting to the last man.</p>\n\n<p>This was so true, that a common saying that Spartan mothers said to their husbands and children before heading off to battle was “Return with your shield or on it.”</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"505\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/piAEzVOqHHU\" width=\"853\"></iframe></p>\n\n<h2>The End of an Era</h2>\n\n<p>At the height of its power, the Spartan warrior was an unbreakable fighting machine, defeating foe after foe and winning them the reputation that still stands today.</p>\n\n<p>Their innovative phalanx formation in which Spartan soldiers fought shield to shield, advancing with thrusting spears against their enemies was a strategy that seemed unbeatable at the time.</p>\n\n<p>In addition to this fighting formation, was the code that all Spartan warriors lived and died by, that was taught to them from birth. </p>\n\n<p>This combination made an unbreakable, fearless force that stood unrivalled for centuries.</p>\n\n<p>Sadly, this unbending code would ultimately be what brought about the end of the Spartan era and their empire as a whole.</p>\n\n<p>Their unwillingness to change eventually resulted in Sparta's defeat by Thebes in the Battle of Leuctra in 371 BC, which ended Sparta's prominent role in Greece.</p>\n\n<p>Once the curtain was pulled back and they were revealed to be just mere mortals and able to be defeated, there was no going back.</p>\n\n<p>Emboldened their opponents and enemies would continue to adapt and innovate new warfare fighting styles, using effective tactics such as long distance warfare, that the Spartans believe to be cowardly.</p>\n\n<p>Sparta remained as an independent state, even if weakened, until the Roman conquest of Greece in 146 BC, ending an era and closing a chapter in mankind's history.</p>\n\n<p><img alt=\"Spartan Warrior Statue\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week18/spartan_warrior/sparta5.jpg\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 1238px;\" /></p>\n\n<h2>In Conclusion</h2>\n\n<p>The Spartan warrior to this day is still thought of as one of the fearsome fighters in all of mankind's history. </p>\n\n<p>Their victories in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds are stories of legend.</p>\n\n<p>The Spartan warrior code lives on to this day, as many modern militaries have adopted much of the training and tactics that were developed by these fearsome warriors during their reign of dominance.</p>\n\n<p>To this day, advanced militaries have a strict code of discipline, ensuring that troops stay in shape at all times, putting them through rigorous training programs and that they maintain their appearances to a high standard.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https://plarium.com/en/strategy-games/sparta-war-of-empires/?plid=133408&pxl=seo#auth/sighup\" target=\"_blank\"><img alt=\"The Spartan warrior code lives on to this day\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/new/spartan_warrior.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<p>This was the Spartan way, as they knew a well kept, well maintained fighting force could strike fear into the hearts of a less disciplined foe, defeating them even before they reached the battlefield.</p>\n\n<p>Unity was paramount to the success of the Spartan fighting force and is something that placed them leaps and bounds over many other military forces of the time. </p>\n\n<p>To this day, this is true, as a strong united fighting unit will often overcome a better equipped foe, even when outnumbered.</p>\n\n<p>In addition to the influence the Spartan Warrior has on our modern militaries of today, they have also affected our pop culture, resulting in massive hit titles such as “300” and “Rise of an Empire”, among many <a href=\"/en/games/genre/strategy-games/\">strategy games</a>.</p>\n\n<p>Games such as “Sparta: War of Empires”, have been massive successes, proving that the warrior mindset is still something to be desired and sought after to this very day and likely, until the end of time.</p>\n\n<p>The Spartan’s rich and long history will live on forever. Of this we have no doubt.</p>\n","date":"5/30/2019"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/07/sp-pro-players.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13306"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/video-games-movie-inspiration/"},"strings":{"title":"Video Games Movies: From the Big Screen to the Small Screen and Back Again","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"420000","description":"<p>Which movies have had the biggest impact on video gaming, and what video games have likewise inspired the movie industry?</p>\n\n<p>The answer is that there are dozens, maybe even hundreds.

It truly did adopt all of the characteristics that made 80’s and 90’s action movies what they were.</p>\n\n<h3>Super Mario Bros. (1993)</h3>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Super Mario was a very anticipated game to become a feature film\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/new/super_mario.jpg\" /></p>\n\n<p>Many kids from the 90s may remember eagerly anticipating the release of this mega-title. It had <em>incredibly </em>high expectations from fans.</p>\n\n<p>That's unsurprising, given that people credit the Super Mario Franchise as being one of the biggest contributors to the growth of the video game industry.</p>\n\n<p>Sadly, unlike other video game movies, this one disappointed almost everyone who watched it. It was flat-out horrible and left many people scratching their heads at what they just watched.</p>\n\n<p>Was that <strong>Mario</strong>? Was that “thing” <strong>Bowser</strong>? Yet, this is exactly what has seen this horrible movie become so renowned among fans.</p>\n\n<p>Fans of video game movies love to hate Super Mario Bros because of how bad it is, which is why it’s become a <strong>cult classic</strong>.</p>\n\n<h3>Sonic the Hedgehog Movie (2020)</h3>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/szby7ZHLnkA\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>If Mario had a movie, then <strong>Sonic </strong>definitely had to have one. Indeed, it wouldn’t be right to have dozens of movies inspired by video games and not give the fastest hedgehog in the world a place on the big screen.</p>\n\n<p>Fortunately, Sega and Paramount pictures felt the same which is why they recruited Pat Casey and Josh Miller to write Sonic the Hedgehog Movie.</p>\n\n<p>Like other video game movies, Sonic had a decent budget. In fact, the creators spent almost $90 million making it. For that money, they got Jeff Fowler as director and Jim Carey in a leading role (<strong>Dr Robotnik</strong>).</p>\n\n<p>Add to this Ben Schwartz as the voice of Sonic and you’ve got a great cast that brings the video game to life.</p>\n\n<p>As you’d expect, the movie sees Sonic protecting the world from another one of Dr Robotnik’s evil schemes. All of this combined to make this one of the best video game movies of all time based on revenue.</p>\n\n<p>As well as making $319 million at the box office, Sonic was the sixth biggest movie of 2020. And, it made more money than all video game movies before it.</p>\n\n<h3>Mortal Kombat (2021 & 1995)</h3>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/-BQPKD7eozY\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>The original Mortal Kombat movie was one for the ages! In fact, it was such a hit that it spawned a franchise of its own.</p>\n\n<p>Today, Mortal Kombat is not only a wildly successful series of video games but also of movies. From live-action offerings to animations, these video game movies have told the story of multiple characters.</p>\n\n<p>The latest Mortal Kombat movie was released in April 2021 and tells the tale of Earthrealm vs. Outworld.</p>\n\n<p>This modern interpretation of the classic battle sees the return of popular fighters such as Bi-Han (aka Sub-Zero), Sonya Blade, and Liu Kang.</p>\n\n<p>We also get to see some modern twists thanks to characters such as Cole Young. He’s a former MMA champion who becomes embroiled in the battle.</p>\n\n<p>Having an MMA fighter in the mix taps into the zeitgeist and gives the latest Mortal Kombat a mainstream appeal.</p>\n\n<h2>Blockbuster Games Inspired By Movies</h2>\n\n<p>Next, we are going to look at the flipside of the coin: video games inspired by movies.</p>\n\n<p>Although there are dozens of games we could have picked, we’ve decided to highlight five games that were a hit with every type of player.</p>\n\n<h3>James Bond</h3>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"James Bond was first a book, then a movie, and later even a video game\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week18/video_games_that_inspired_movies/jamesbond.jpg\" /></p>\n\n<p>Numerous video game titles have been created that were based on James Bond movies, spanning back throughout the years.</p>\n\n<p>However, one stands out above the others due to its monstrous success. Goldeneye 007, which was based on the 1995 film of the same name, was one of Nintendo 64’s biggest smash hits.</p>\n\n<p>In fact, it’s credited for helping accelerate the popularity of first-person shooter video games.</p>\n\n<p>It sold over 8 million copies and was Nintendo’s third-largest seller for the Nintendo 64. Even today it is still fondly remembered by fans.</p>\n\n<h3>Spiderman</h3>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Spiderman expanded its presence from a comic, to television, cinemas and several video games\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week18/video_games_that_inspired_movies/spiderman.jpg\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 591px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>The Marvel Cinematic Universe has spawned the creation of a whole catalog of video game titles and vice versa.</p>\n\n<p>One of the more popular characters, Spiderman, has been adapted into video games over and over again.</p>\n\n<p>One of the most popular movie video games within the franchise was released in 2018. It was well received for its amazing graphics and robust engine.</p>\n\n<h3>Batman</h3>\n\n<p>Not letting its rival pass it by, the DC Universe's Batman the game, was released for both the NES console as well as Gameboy advance, both of which were based on the popular 1989 film.</p>\n\n<p>Later on, we had “Batman Returns”, which was also based on the movie of the same title and was released for various consoles in 1992.</p>\n\n<p>Basically, if a Batman movie has been made, it has a video game adaptation.</p>\n\n<h3>Lord of the Rings</h3>\n\n<p>One of the biggest grossing franchises of all time, the Lord of the Rings, has resulted in a string of movie video games.</p>\n\n<p>“The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring”, was released in 2002 and was made readily available for all major consoles at the time.</p>\n\n<p>It was directly based on the movie adaptation of the series. As the years went on, more and more games were released based on this franchise, including “Middle-earth: Shadow of War\" which came out in 2017.</p>\n\n<h3>Fast & Furious Crossroads</h3>\n\n<p>Of all the video games inspired by movies, this one is the least surprising. Very few movie franchises have squeezed as much value out of a single idea as Fast & Furious.</p>\n\n<p>Moviegoers have probably lost count of how many Fast & Furious movies there are (eight main movies and one spinoff).</p>\n\n<p>Well, there are almost as many games. This doesn’t mean they’re bad.</p>\n\n<p>In fact, compared to other video games inspired by movies, Fast & Furious ones are among the best because they’re a natural fit. They’re based on cars and racing, something gamers love.</p>\n\n<p>Fast & Furious Crossroads game out in 2020 for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. It was published by Bandai Namco Entertainment and developed by Slightly Mad Studios.</p>\n\n<p>Like its counterparts, the main aim is to race cars from the movie. There’s a single-player story mode and a multiplayer option, both of which are extremely enjoyable.</p>\n\n<h3>Enjoy Video Game Movies and Movie Video Games</h3>\n\n<p>So, there you have it, that’s the best video game movies and the top movie video games. The synergy between the movies and gaming is one that’s flourished over the years and long may it continue.</p>\n\n<p>If this relationship continues to produce entertaining video game movies and vice versa, we’re all for it.</p>\n","date":"5/26/2019"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2018/week_11/east-west-header.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13301"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/moba-games-guide/"},"strings":{"title":"What are MOBA games?

But did you know that the games which most commonly allow you to do that are known as MOBAs? In our guide, we will examine the key questions you may have about MOBA games:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>What is a MOBA game?</li>\n\t<li>How to play MOBA games?</li>\n\t<li>What was the first MOBA game?</li>\n\t<li>What are the top MOBA games?</li>\n\t<li>What's in store for MOBAs in the future?</li>\n\t<li>MOBAs and eSports</li>\n\t<li>MOBAs and mobile phones</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<ul>\n</ul>\n\n<h2>What is a MOBA game?</h2>\n\n<p>In short, MOBA games are a form of <a href=\"/en/games/genre/mmo-games/\">MMO</a> which tend to have a combat feel, with gamers also adopting a persona in a style similar to <a href=\"/en/games/genre/mmorpg-games/\">MMORPGs</a>.</p>\n\n<p>An exciting sub-genre of MMO games, MOBAs have grown in recent years to become a key part of video gaming and a pop culture phenomenon in their own right.</p>\n\n<p>The abbreviation <strong>MOBA stands for Multiplayer Online Battle Arena</strong> and refers to games which generally have a very specific set of features in their gameplay and design. Basically, such titles tend to have a real-time strategy element and revolve around a fairly simple aim: to compete in a team against opponents and defeat them in a form of battle.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"What is MOBA?\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_7/23_War.png\" style=\"width: 250px; height: 300px;\" /></p>\n\n<h2>How to play MOBA games?</h2>\n\n<p>A key part of playing MOBA games is familiarizing yourself with the features that such titles tend to have. It is very common for MOBAs to involve:</p>\n\n<ol>\n\t<li>Players joining forces in groups of four or five to take on other teams</li>\n\t<li>Action on a map that features several \"lanes\" and uncharted \"jungle\" between teams' bases</li>\n\t<li>The objective of breaching the enemy's defense and destroying their base</li>\n</ol>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"MOBA Games tend to include team vs team action\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_9/14.png\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 555px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>There is a MMORPG element in MOBAs too, because each individual player has a unique set of characteristics. Common terms for the roles that players take on in MOBAs include:</p>\n\n<p><strong>Mids</strong> - stay in the middle lane of action on the map<br />\n<strong>Solos</strong> - stay in the lane with the shortest distance between bases<br />\n<strong>Carrys</strong> - tend to be assisted by Supports in the longest lane<br />\n<strong>Junglers</strong> - who stay in unchartered territory and attempt to \"gank\" (spring surprise attacks)</p>\n\n<p>These characters all tend to have different attributes, but each undoubtedly has a key role to play in the success of their team.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"MOBA can be accessed from different platforms\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_7/18_Tablet.png\" style=\"width: 250px; height: 300px;\" title=\"MOBA on tablet\" /></p>\n\n<p>Just like many other MMOs, playing MOBAs tends to be historically linked with PC gameplay. However, the rising popularity of the genre means that many titles can now be played on other platforms, including <a href=\"/en/games/platform/mobile-games/\">mobile</a> and consoles.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"middle\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/11/RAD_RedGirl_B76234_970x66_Android_iOS_English&IMG=1MTM.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2>What was the first MOBA?</h2>\n\n<p>There is no simple answer to the question of which title could be regarded as the first MOBA. A name which pops up regularly, however, is <a href=\"https://starcraft.fandom.com/wiki/Aeon_of_Strife\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Aeon of Strife</a>.</p>\n\n<p>Created as a custom map for the original version of Starcraft, which was released back in 1998, Aeon of Strife is seen by many as the gaming experience which gave birth to the core elements which we now associate so strongly with MOBA gaming.</p>\n\n<p>While the Defense of the Ancients – or DotA – map designed for Warcraft III in the early 2000s was also a key moment for the genre, Aeon of Strife undoubtedly deserves a huge amount of credit.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"505\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/3-0VzxG7AZ0\" width=\"853\"></iframe></p>\n\n<h2>What are the top MOBA games?</h2>\n\n<p>A succession of blockbuster titles in recent years have made MOBAs one of the most popular genres in gaming. Some of the biggest titles include:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>League of Legends (119 million monthly active players in <a href=\"https://activeplayer.io/league-of-legends/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">2021</a>)</li>\n\t<li>Arena of Valor (12 million monthly players in <a href=\"https://activeplayer.io/arena-of-valor/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">2021</a>)</li>\n\t<li>Dota 2 (700K monthly players in <a href=\"https://activeplayer.io/dota-2/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">2021</a>)</li>\n\t<li>Heroes of the Storm (6.5 million players as of 2018)</li>\n\t<li>Smite (2 million players as of 2018) </li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>In addition, the best MOBAs also have devoted fan bases who love the fantastical worlds that such games are often based in.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"MOBAs also have devoted fans who love fantastical worlds\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_9/15.png\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 555px;\" title=\"Fantasy MOBA\" /></p>\n\n<h2>What's in store for MOBAs in the future?</h2>\n\n<p>Considering the huge rise of MOBAs in recent years, many are optimistic about their future. With new technologies regularly emerging in gaming, chances are that such developments may have the potential to push MOBAs to a whole new level.</p>\n\n<p>For example, there are already reports that developers are looking at how to pair MOBA gaming with a virtual reality (VR) experience, a move which could throw gamers right into the heart of the action.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Virtual Reality MOBA\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_9/16.png\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 555px;\" /></p>\n\n<h2>MOBAs and eSports</h2>\n\n<p>The idea of playing video games for a living might seem like a teenager’s dream, but the ever-growing world of eSports has made that a reality for some of the most talented gamers on the planet. Professional competitive gaming sees players do battle on a range of titles, with MOBAs forming a fundamental part of the scene.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"eSports Audience Growth\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2018/week_26/Newzoo_Esports_Audience_Growth.png\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 500px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>Competitions related to the likes of League of Legends and Dota 2 tend to have major amounts of prize money on offer, with winning sides often securing multimillion dollar sums for coming out on top. ESports are edging ever closer to the mainstream, and that in turn means that MOBAs could soon be bigger than ever before.</p>\n\n<h2>MOBAs on mobile</h2>\n\n<p>As we've pointed out above, the MOBA genre is commonly linked to the world of PCs. However, the emergence of smartphones and tablets as platforms which can offer a high quality gaming experience means that a host of top games are now available for those who are regularly on the move.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"MOBA can also be played on mobile\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_7/11_Mobile.png\" style=\"width: 250px; height: 300px;\" title=\"MOBA on mobile\" /></p>\n\n<p>In fact, while <a href=\"/en/games/platform/pc-games/\">PC games</a> can be quite tough to initially get to grips with, the accessibility of mobile gaming means that the platform is often a fairly simple way for people to take their first steps into the world of MOBA gaming, especially in terms of simplified controls.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"505\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/X5Eu7Sr0NAQ\" width=\"853\"></iframe></p>\n\n<h2>One of gaming's most exciting genres</h2>\n\n<p>From their beginnings in a custom map created for Starcraft, MOBAs have become one of the most genuinely exciting parts of the gaming industry and the world of MMOs.</p>\n\n<p>With their influence felt everywhere from mobile to eSports, the subgenre is a core part of gaming which is surely only set to go from strength to strength in the future.</p>\n","date":"4/4/2019"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/new/blog_illustration_07.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13294"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/gamer-voice-chat/"},"strings":{"title":"How Gaming Voice Chat Services Can Take Your Fun to a New Level","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"300000","description":"<p>Online multiplayer games in a range of genres are going from strength to strength right now.</p>\n\n<p>A number of great titles have emerged in recent years, with many having a big focus on collaboration and interaction with others.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p>As a result, you need to have access to good communication services if you are going to thrive in such titles.</p>\n\n<p>Fortunately, gaming voice chat services are available to help you every step of the way.</p>\n\n<h2>Why Use Voice Chat in Online Gaming?</h2>\n\n<p>Whether you’re working with friends or actively competing against them, it is great to talk as you tackle a game.</p>\n\n<p>You might want to discuss tactics regarding a plan of attack, or you may simply want to offer up a solid burn after beating them for the sixth time in a row.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"The best gaming voice chats allow a whole new experience\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2018/week_19/rage-5.jpg\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 555px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>Gaming voice chat services make this possible, as you can pull on your headset and get the conversation flowing.</p>\n\n<p>The days of exchanging text-based messages are well and truly over, as game chat allows you to talk as if you are in the same room.</p>\n\n<h2>The Best Voice Chat for Gaming</h2>\n\n<p>So, if you’re looking to get started with gaming voice chat, where should you begin? There are plenty of online voice chat services out there right now, but a good starting point might be to consider a few key names.</p>\n\n<h3>Discord</h3>\n\n<p>When it comes to discussing the best voice chat for gaming, it really feels like there is only one place to begin.</p>\n\n<p>Discord is one of the most popular gaming voice chat apps. It was established in 2015, and has since become a huge success.</p>\n\n<p>In a blog posted last year, the game chat brand stated that it had more than 100 million monthly active users, while it achieved four billion minutes in daily conversation.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/tNUq5Aqv60s\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>The platform is available on Windows, iOS, Android, Linux, and Mac, while it can also be opened in a browser. Both text and online voice chat services are available.</p>\n\n<p>But, how does it work? Well, to get started, the game chat provider’s official site says you need to create an account with an email address and a name.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Discord is one of the top gamer voice chats\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_8/discord1.jpg\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 683px;\" title=\"Discord Booth\" /></p>\n\n<p>After that, you create a server where you talk with friends and then enter a voice channel when you can. Discord also lets you share screens, so you can stream the latest action with friends.</p>\n\n<p>Finally, it also offers Nitro, an enhanced service with a range of special features including bigger uploads and HD video. The latter gaming voice chat platform is available for an annual or monthly subscription.</p>\n\n<h3>Mumble</h3>\n\n<p>Another gaming voice chat brand worth looking out for is Mumble. It describes itself as an open-source voice chat software program that provides low latency but high quality.</p>\n\n<p>The Mumble online voice chat service is thought to be around a decade older than Discord and, like its rival, was fundamentally designed with gaming in mind.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/b6CvLcTrOHk\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>In addition, Mumble downloads are available across a range of platforms, with the game chat service also operating via third-party applications for leading mobile operating systems.</p>\n\n<p>In terms of general features for users, Mumble emphasizes its privacy and security by outlining how communication is always encrypted.</p>\n\n<p>Furthermore, it offers an in-game overlay as well as positional audio, so players can be heard from wherever they are located.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Do you remember playing before gaming voice chats were a thing?\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_8/discord3.jpg\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 590px;\" title=\"discord\" /></p>\n\n<h2>The Best of the Rest</h2>\n\n<p>So, while the duo above might be big names when it comes to gaming voice chat services, there are plenty of other options to consider in the online voice chat space as well.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ventrilo </strong>may be a name that pops up during your gaming voice chat research, while <strong>TeamSpeak </strong>is another major brand to consider.</p>\n\n<p>The latter believes it offers the best online voice chat quality compared to rivals, while it describes its security as military-grade.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Gaming voice chats immerse you in the game\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2017/week_28/1-positive-factors.jpg\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 494px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>TeamSpeak adds that its gaming voice chat software operates at an ultra-low latency with surround sound as standard, while its site does not hold back when it comes to talking about its notable partnerships.</p>\n\n<p>The brand works with Overwatch League, NASA, and Wargaming.net among others.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Using gaming voice chats provides you company when you're alone\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2017/week_49/image-4.jpg\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 400px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>Elsewhere, <strong>Skype </strong>may not be a specialist for voice chat in online gaming, but it could potentially be an option.</p>\n\n<p>In March 2020, Microsoft said that the service had in the region of <em>40 million users daily</em>.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Skype can also be used as a gaming voice or video chat app\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_8/discord9.png\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 888px;\" title=\"skype logo\" /></p>\n\n<p>In addition, <strong>Google’s Hangouts</strong> service is always an option that gamers can turn to, while <strong>Blizzard Voice Chat</strong> was created for the Blizzard Battle.net desktop app and allows gamers to talk to their friends.</p>\n\n<p>Another piece of software that may prove useful is <strong>Steam Chat</strong>, which again offers voice and text chat options ideal for gaming with your buddies.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Ventrilo is well known as a top gaming voice chat\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_8/discord5.png\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 888px;\" title=\"ventrilo logo\" /></p>\n\n<h3>How to Choose the Best Gaming Voice Chat App</h3>\n\n<p>All of this highlights how gamers are not short of options when it comes to gaming voice chat services.</p>\n\n<p>However, the difficulty that emerges when it comes to selecting a game chat provider is the simple fact that the most suitable service obviously depends on your specific needs.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"middle\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/11/RAD_RedGirl_B76234_970x66_Android_iOS_English&IMG=1MTM.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<p>Ultimately, it is up to gamers to fully research all the features that gaming voice chat providers offer.</p>\n\n<p>Following that, you should speak to friends to see what they consider to be the best voice chat for gaming. You will want your gaming voice chat options to be compatible with them and the games you love.</p>\n\n<h3>How Do You Voice Chat in a Game?</h3>\n\n<p>The way you access voice chat in online gaming may depend on the title and the platform you decide to use. For example, Steam outlines how players access chat options in the right corner of the Steam Client or via a web browser.</p>\n\n<h2>Get Connected with Gaming Voice Chat</h2>\n\n<p>So, hopefully, the information above has given you some food for thought on the issue of gaming voice chat, including the brands to consider when it comes to the best voice chat for gaming.</p>\n\n<p>The notion of voice chat in online gaming has come a long way through the years, with a range of providers now offering some intriguing features.</p>\n\n<p>Considering how many online voice chat platforms are available, it is well worth taking some time to think about what you want from your game chat service.</p>\n","date":"2/28/2019"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2018/week_19/rage-header.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13278"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/what-is-an-mmo/"},"strings":{"title":"What is an MMO? – The Evolution of Online Gaming’s Greatest Success","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"300000","description":"<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<h2>How do you define an MMO?</h2>\n\n<p>So, just what is an MMO and how do we define the key elements of the genre? Well, to start at the very beginning with the core basics, the term MMO itself stands for <strong>‘massively multiplayer online’</strong> and means that the games can be played online simultaneously by a huge number of people across the world.</p>\n\n<p>In order to meet the MMO definition, games need to offer an experience on the largest scale and allow thousands of players to compete against and collaborate with each other at the same time.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"What does MMO stand for\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week1/images/4.png\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 555px;\" title=\"What does MMO stand for\" /></p>\n\n<h2>Do all online games offer the MMO experience?</h2>\n\n<p><img alt=\"\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_7/5_Thinking.png\" style=\"width: 250px; height: 300px; float: right;\" />Of course, online multiplayer modes that allow gamers to play against each other have become commonplace in so many different types of games in recent years, but it is important to draw a line and recognize that not all conform to the standards of an MMO.</p>\n\n<p>While major titles such as Call of Duty or FIFA may have dipped their toes into such waters by allowing people to play against each other at the same time, such gaming rarely reaches the sheer size of MMO gaming.</p>\n\n<p>It is online multiplayer gaming, but much different to the epic levels that MMOs tend to reach.</p>\n\n<h2>How do you play MMOs?</h2>\n\n<p>So now we have covered the key basics of MMOs, it is important to consider just how you can play them. For many years, MMOs were largely associated with gameplay on a PC or Mac, but over the years, this has changed to also include a range of other formats including a number of leading consoles, such as Xbox and PlayStation.</p>\n\n<p>Furthermore, the developments seen in smartphones and tablets in the past decade mean such devices have become ideal for gaming.</p>\n\n<p>Leading developers have been quick to react to that and have made many leading MMO games available on them, too.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"middle\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/11/RAD_RedGirl_B76234_970x66_Android_iOS_English&IMG=1MTM.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2>A brief history of MMOs</h2>\n\n<p>Considering the MMO genre is chiefly eliant on the wide availability of internet access, it is fair to say that the history of MMOs remains a fairly brief one, which only takes in the past couple of decades.</p>\n\n<p>While there are many debates about which game kicked off the MMO phenomenon, Meridian 59 and Ultima Online are certainly regarded as the frontrunners.</p>\n\n<p>Created by Archetype Interactive and The 3DO Company, Meridian 59 was released at the end of 1995 and features many classic MMO elements, including an open world setting with a magical, fantasy theme.</p>\n\n<p>Ultima Online, which was produced by Origin Systems, follows a similar style and has remained popular with many gamers for a great number of years.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Game Creation\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week1/images/5.png\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 555px;\" title=\"Game Creation\" /></p>\n\n<h2>Continued evolution</h2>\n\n<p>Since those first forays in the MMO world, the genre has grown and expanded in a number of ways. A host of different experiences are now available to gamers who immerse themselves in this world and, whether you are a fan of steampunk, anime or modern warfare, you are sure to be able to find the MMO game that suits your tastes.</p>\n\n<p>While fantasy also remains as popular as ever, other genres to have emerged include titles rooted in science fiction, horror and even the Wild West.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week1/images/6.png\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 555px;\" /></p>\n\n<h2>A multimedia phenomenon</h2>\n\n<p>This incredible range and array of styles has helped MMO gaming become a dominant force in the online world. It is thought that the number of active users playing some of the genre’s biggest games runs into the millions, with smaller titles even going on to keep thousands of people entertained every year.</p>\n\n<p>The genre’s influence has even been felt outside of just gaming, with top titles inspiring spin-offs including novels and even big-screen adaptations.

However, the most common route into the games is:</p>\n\n<ol>\n\t<li>Choose the game for you;</li>\n\t<li>Download the app or head to the website;</li>\n\t<li>Register with the service;</li>\n\t<li>Get playing!</li>\n</ol>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"What is a MMORTS?\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week1/images/3.png\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 555px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>The general premise of MMORTS games sees you build up a base using a range of resources, including an in-game currency, before then looking to expand. This may be by engaging with opponents in battle or even joining forces with them to conquer others. </p>\n\n<p>While many of the games are free-to-play, you should bear in mind that they do tend to offer you the chance to access further features, benefits and bonuses using cash.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Some MMORTS are f2p while most do feature in-game purchases\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/june/illustrations/26.png\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 555px;\" /></p>\n\n<h2>A history of MMORTS gaming</h2>\n\n<p>As we have already touched upon, the history of online strategy games can be traced back to the traditional real-time strategy genre.</p>\n\n<p>It is widely accepted that this type of gaming emerged at the start of the 1980s with titles like Utopia, although it reached a new level of popularity with the release of Dune II in the 1990s.</p>\n\n<p>Real-time strategy remains a hugely popular area, but its combination with MMO gaming in the past decade or so has seen it reach an incredible number of people across several key platforms.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"middle\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/11/RAD_RedGirl_B76234_970x66_Android_iOS_English&IMG=1MTM.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2>What are the most notable MMORTS games?</h2>\n\n<p>Among the best strategy games available today is Clash of Clans, which was first released by Supercell in 2012, but has grown to be a gaming phenomenon. Six years on from its launch, the mobile game remains lucrative with analysts estimating that it still generates around $1.5 million a day.</p>\n\n<p>In contrast, a game like Edgeworld has a more futuristic outlook and allows you to blast off into space for adventures.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"MMORTS games are quite unique\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/june/illustrations/27.png\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 555px;\" /></p>\n\n<h2>Playing MMORTS games on mobile</h2>\n\n<p>One of the real joys of war strategy games is that they offer a flexibility you do not often get in gaming. As MMORTS titles tend to be browser strategy games or app-based, you can easily log in and get involved in the action whether you are sat at a PC or using a smartphone or tablet.</p>\n\n<p>Mobile gaming has grown in the past decade or so from being a casual pastime to a serious part of the gaming world and Clash of Clans and other MMORTS titles have been fundamental to that change.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Mobile Gaming & MMORTS Games\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_7/11_Mobile.png\" style=\"width: 250px; height: 300px;\" /></p>\n\n<h2>MMORTS games and eSports</h2>\n\n<p>The world of professional gaming – known as eSports – has grown massively in the past decade or so with the very best players doing battle on a range of titles to win a share of some significant levels of prize money.</p>\n\n<p>It is a world where MMO gaming has made a significant impact, particularly through MOBA titles like League of Legends and Dota 2. But what about MMORTS games?</p>\n\n<p>A growing number of competitions are being held in relation to titles like Clash of Clans, but it is safe to say there is a long way to go until online strategy games reach the heights of the biggest titles in eSports. There is huge potential, however, so it will be interesting to see how this develops in the years ahead.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"MMORTS Gamers\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/june/illustrations/28.png\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 555px;\" /></p>\n\n<h2>The future of online strategy games</h2>\n\n<p>Real-time strategy games have a long history, but the inevitable question which arises is where can the genre and MMORTS go next?</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"505\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/SD5lqUqceVw\" width=\"853\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>The developments seen in virtual reality in recent years have been nothing short of incredible, with the technology beginning to have a significant impact on gaming. </p>\n\n<p>VR elements are slowly beginning to creep into MMO gaming in general, so it feels like only a matter of time until MMORTS will embrace its capabilities. </p>\n\n<p>After all, wouldn’t it be amazing to step foot into an MMORTS game and gain a different outlook on the tactical decisions you make?</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Many players have tried MMORTS games without even realizing it!\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_7/8_Thumbs_up.png\" style=\"width: 250px; height: 300px;\" /></p>\n\n<h2>Get involved in online strategy games</h2>\n\n<p>While a huge number of people may not be familiar with what MMORTS means, it is remarkable to think that many will have probably played such a game either on their PC or on a mobile device.</p>\n\n<p>Online strategy games have become a much-loved part of the gaming world, giving players the chance to get absorbed in action based in incredible environments.

It was a type of recorder, therefore it would of had holes drilled into its side that would enable it to be blown into and notes created depending on which holes were covered at the time.</p>\n\n<p>One example of a cow’s horn was found in Västerby, Sweden. Another was discovered in Konsterud, Värmland, which had five holes drilled into its side and was 27 cm in length.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Viking Lyre was an integral part in their music\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/june/vikingmusic/vikingmusic2.jpg\" style=\"width: 640px; height: 360px;\" /></p>\n\n<h3>The Lyre</h3>\n\n<p>The “lyre” (sometimes also referred to as a harp) is mentioned in many of the sagas, and sadly due to them being out of wood, no examples have been discovered to this date.</p>\n\n<h3>Wooden Instruments in Viking Music</h3>\n\n<p>Other such instruments that the Vikings used were animal skin drums and a variety of “woodwind” instruments, the latter of which include various flutes and pipes made out of bone and wood. A number of these instruments have been recreated by Danish musicians and played.</p>\n\n<p>All Viking Instruments, including the Viking drum would of been used as a part of Viking war music, however they would of also been used alongside Viking poetry and music as well to enhance the performance and add effect.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Viking Flute\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/june/vikingmusic/vikingmusic3.jpg\" style=\"width: 640px; height: 360px;\" title=\"Viking Flute\" /></p>\n\n<h2>The Only Ancient Viking Song Known?</h2>\n\n<p>Although there are many songs that can be dated back to ancient Scandinavian history, most of these songs can then be linked to broader European culture and thus would of been adopted by the Norse people at later dates, once they began to integrate into the societies around them.</p>\n\n<p>However, not long after the Viking people learned of a way to record their history and write down music, a song was carved into a piece of wood. Carved on a small piece of wood from the 14th century, found in Denmark, the first bars of an ancient song can be read; \"I Dreamed a Dream\"</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"505\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/lirMtNJHKPU\" width=\"853\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>This song was written in runes in a manner that was typical of this age in time, however it is believe that this song was not new at all, but was rather one that was passed down from one generation to the next, as was typical.</p>\n\n<p>It is believe to be a line from an ancient Viking song. Thus highlighting one little fragment of the history surrounding the mysterious Viking music.</p>\n\n<h2>War Chants in Viking Culture</h2>\n\n<p>Viking war music would have included numerous chants in which their warriors would sing in unity to strike both fear and dread into the hearts of their opponents. The Vikings were skilled warriors and the war chant was a way of showing strength and coordination to your foes.</p>\n\n<p>As with Viking music in general, no known ancient Viking war chants are known today, but still it is something to this very day that is being practiced. The latest example of this is the <em>“Viking Thunder Clap”</em>, which was performed by Iceland after their victory over England in 2006, then again during the<strong> FIFA 2018 World Cup.</strong></p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"505\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/mav2kkvakGY\" width=\"853\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>This is a modern day example of a “war chant” proving that old traditions still live on, even if the specifics are lost.</p>\n\n<h2>Viking Music in Pop Culture</h2>\n\n<p>Even though much of the Viking history has been lost due their inability to record their own acts and great feats they achieved, the spirit of the Viking warrior and performer live on to this very day. Certain aspects of Viking culture is still celebrated and revered. Modern day interpretations of Viking and Norse music are also featured in games, building the mood and helping immerse the player in the fantasy world.</p>\n\n<p>In addition to being featured prominently in video games, norse music has played a powerful role in a number of successful hit TV shows and movies, such as “Vikings” by the History channel and “The Last Kingdom” by Netflix.</p>\n\n<h2>Viking Music in a Nutshell</h2>\n\n<p>Not much is known about the history surrounding Viking music. Not much is known about their songs of love, peace and war, however, much <em>is </em>known about the ways of the Viking people and the lasting influence that they have left on this world.</p>\n\n<p>In addition to being warriors, they were craftsman, poets, musicians and without a doubt - they were even singers. Norse inspired music lives on to this day and has the ability to stir our hearts and souls, invoking powerful emotions whether it be through chant or song.</p>\n\n<p>Hopefully, one day more will be learned and discovered about Viking music, pulling back the curtain surrounding so much that is still unkown of this period in time, revealing a key part of Viking history.</p>\n","date":"7/28/2019"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2016/11/23.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13314"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/survival-games/"},"strings":{"title":"What are Survival Games? Holding on to One of Gaming’s Classic Genres","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"360000","description":"<p>Survival games are those in which you face off against a hostile environment in what is generally an open world, often starting with only meager equipment, supplies and limited inventories. </p>\n\n<p>These games incorporate aspects of crafting useful tools and weapons in order to stave off hunger, thirst or an enemy threat.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Survival Games\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/june/illustrations/22.png\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 555px;\" title=\"Survival Games\" /></p>\n\n<p>While many other genres of video games incorporate survival elements, the survival genre as a whole is one which places the element of combat as secondary and often avoidable. </p>\n\n<p>Survival games are often open-ended, with the player tasked with either surviving for a certain amount of time or as long as they can in that individual playthrough.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<h2>The origins of Survival Games</h2>\n\n<p>Survival games are often perceived as one of the slower and more methodical genres of video gaming, though as one of the most varied out there, they can often surpass expectations. </p>\n\n<p>Starting in the early '90s, survival games have found their way into combinations with many other genres, often with surprising and popular results.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"505\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/8gdjzSCO0SI\" width=\"853\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>Even today, as online gaming makes its way to the front of the game sphere, survival gameplay has an important part to play. In this guide, we'll look at what makes a game part of the survival genre, the key aspects of the genre, and survival's place in historical and contemporary gaming.</p>\n\n<h2>How Do you Play Survival Games?</h2>\n\n<p>When starting a survival game there are a few main concerns which you need to keep in mind.</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li><strong>Finding Supplies</strong>: As hunger and/or thirst are usually going to be an issue, your first concern is gathering enough of these to survive the first night, and then each day following.</li>\n\t<li><strong>Taking Shelter</strong>: The night in survival games tends to be more dangerous than the day. Sometimes this is because of increased monster count or strength, and other times it comes down to the lack of visibility. Whatever the case, finding shelter for the night should be among the top of your to-do list.</li>\n\t<li><strong>Crafting Some Gear</strong>: While you will usually start with at least some bare essentials when entering a survival game, finding real success often means upgrading or making better equipment, weapons, and tools. At the beginning of the game, you will only be able to create a few low-quality pieces, with better gear being locked behind gathering rarer and more dangerous-to-obtain crafting materials.</li>\n\t<li><strong>Researching New Unlocks</strong>: While not included in every survival game, research is still a common and very useful tool in many titles. Research not only unlocks better gear and recipes, but it can also provide passive bonuses such as increased run speed or stamina.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Primitive Shelter in a survival game\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/june/illustrations/23.png\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 555px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>Unlike their more action-heavy cousins, survival games tend to place mid to long-term planning as the most important component of the gameplay. </p>\n\n<p>Calculate what supplies you have, how long they will last, what you might need to continue onward, and where you might best search and set up a base, and you'll be well on your way to understanding proper survival game flow.</p>\n\n<h2>Where Do Survival Games Originate?</h2>\n\n<p>UnReal World, released in 1992, is generally considered the most significant example of early survival games. Set in Iron Age Finland, this game uses a simple – by our 21st-century standards – graphical style to portray the challenge of survival against the harsh elements of the freezing environment. </p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"505\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/0tntaL4DC3E\" width=\"853\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>Including systems as complex as frostbite to individual body parts, UnReal World is a punishing and complex game despite the limitations of early '90s hardware.</p>\n\n<p>One of the more interesting necessities of the game, the limited graphics, ties into just how complex the underlying systems can be. The genre places a greater focus on technical aspects than many of its counterparts. It is quite simply not possible to emulate harsh environments in a realistic manner without an enormous budget. </p>\n\n<p>Because of this, some of the most elaborate survival games, like Dwarf Fortress, rely on ASCII graphics to illustrate their worlds.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Ancient times inspire some survival games today\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_7/9_Stoneage.png\" style=\"width: 250px; height: 300px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>While modern survival games are among the most popular titles in the world, a lot of the current mainstream visibility comes from horror games like Resident Evil or Silent Hill. </p>\n\n<p>These incorporate heavy survival aspects and have gained international success, helping drive mainstream interest into more traditional survival games.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"middle\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/11/RAD_RedGirl_B76234_970x66_Android_iOS_English&IMG=1MTM.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2>Which Are the Most Popular Survival Games Right Now?</h2>\n\n<p>One of the most popular games in the world at the moment and for the last few years is Minecraft, which is a free survival game for certain platforms but paid-for on others. </p>\n\n<p>A seemingly simple sandbox game with deceptive depth, Minecraft has shown it has the initial appeal to draw in gamers, and the long-term creative and social opportunities to keep players of all ages engaged.</p>\n\n<p>Also popular are games like Rust and ARK: Survival Evolved. These all illustrate the movement of the genre towards an online environment, with both PvE and PvP acting to boost interest and maintain viability over years. </p>\n\n<p>When it comes to free survival games, offerings are far sparser, though a few multiplayer survival games like Unturned are starting to pave a free-to-play path in what is traditionally a genre that's expensive to develop.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Survival Games - Gathering Resources\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/june/illustrations/24.png\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 555px;\" /></p>\n\n<h2>Can Survival Games be Played Cooperatively?</h2>\n\n<p>Yes, they can be. Minecraft and Rust are two of the most famous examples of multiplayer, and both have enormous popularity in their cooperative modes. </p>\n\n<p>This has come about not only because it lets friends and strangers work together to survive and create, but also thanks to allowing teams to pit themselves against strangers and rivals.</p>\n\n<p>This can be tricky when it comes to longer sessions, as it leads to situations where players might have to remain online for long sessions in order to defend their bases from destruction and looting. </p>\n\n<p>Fortunately, there are often offline protection systems that help alleviate these potential threats, meaning players aren’t going to have to see their base protection as a full-time experience.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Survival Games as PVP\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/june/illustrations/25.png\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 555px;\" /></p>\n\n<h2>Are Survival Games Suited to eSports?</h2>\n\n<p>They could be, though perhaps not quite yet in the current environment. Most of the current big names in eSports such as MOBAs and FPS games rely on shorter match times, and this is not something possible with most survival games. </p>\n\n<p>We have already seen some steps in this direction with SCUM, a more battle-royale-style eSports-compatible game which leans heavily on survival elements. The survival genre could also take a page from Fortnite's book, in that free survival games could act as an enormous opening draw.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Surviving survival games\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_7/17_working_together.png\" style=\"width: 250px; height: 300px;\" /></p>\n\n<h2>What Will Survival Games Be Like in the Future?</h2>\n\n<p>AR and VR represent untapped opportunities for open-world survival games, especially when it comes to immersion and real-life integration. </p>\n\n<p>While there are VR versions of current open-world survival games like Minecraft available, they tend to run into issues of compatibility when it comes to the nature of the genre. </p>\n\n<p>Multiplayer survival games tend to require a considerable time investment, and our current VR and AR technology is often straining on the eyes for these long periods.</p>\n\n<p>As these issues have already improved with improving technology, though, so we can only hope the future maintains this same trend.</p>\n\n<p>Despite a sometimes rocky history, survival games still stand today as one of the most popular and beloved genres. Not just cult classics anymore, breakout games like Minecraft have become powerful forces in international media and mainstays in pop culture. With VR and AR just now a mainstream reality, the future for survival games has never been so bright.</p>\n","date":"7/21/2019"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/covers/general/2_b.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13313"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/mmofps-games/"},"strings":{"title":"What are MMOFPS games?","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"300000","description":"<p>MMOFPS games offer a huge range of opportunities for <a href=\"/en/games/genre/mmo-games/\">MMO</a> fans <em>and </em>FPS lovers alike, but so far this combination of styles can lack major representation. </p>\n\n<p>While there is some difficulty in the combination of these genres, there is little doubt that this crossover hides enormous, largely untapped potential.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p>With the world of gaming increasingly shifting to a more <a href=\"/en/games\">online</a> focus, this genre is one poised for a huge hit to bring it into the mainstream. </p>\n\n<p>In this guide, we take a look at exactly what qualifies as an MMOFPS, how these titles relate to current MMO and FPS games, and what examples have so far set the stage as the best examples in the MMOFPS genre. </p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"MMOFPS weapons\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_7/4_Revolver.png\" style=\"width: 250px; height: 300px;\" /> </p>\n\n<h3>What are FPS games?</h3>\n\n<p><strong>FPS stands for First-Person Shooter</strong>. These games are played from the viewpoint of the player character, where utilization of firearms and <a href=\"/en/games/genre/shooting-games/\">shooter</a> combat is the major part of the gameplay loop.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"James Bond as an MMOFPS\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/june/illustrations/19.png\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 555px;\" /> </p>\n\n<p>While not the first example of the genre, FPS games were popularized with the release of <strong>Doom </strong>on December 10, 1993. Doom proved so popular a game that for years after it, before the term FPS was settled on, many games in this genre were instead known as <strong>\"Doom clones\"</strong>. </p>\n\n<p>Since then, though, FPS games have become some of the most popular titles to play. A large part of this comes from <a href=\"/en/games/genre/multiplayer-games/\">online multiplayer gameplay</a>, which reached the mainstream in a major way with the 2001 release of the Halo series on the original Xbox. </p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"middle\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/11/RAD_RedGirl_B76234_970x66_Android_iOS_English&IMG=1MTM.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<p>Originally, FPS games were arguably only well suited to <a href=\"/en/games/platform/pc-games/\">PC</a> given the difficulty of adapting their controls to a gamepad device. Over time though, as dual-stick controls and auto-aim features improved, this issue was mitigated to the point where the differences between PC and console control capabilities are now minor.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"MMOFPS are usually suitable for all platforms\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_7/14_Handheld_Consoles.png\" style=\"width: 250px; height: 300px;\" /></p>\n\n<h2>What are MMOFPS games?</h2>\n\n<p>MMOFPS games are titles within the greater MMO genre which have gameplay primarily informed by traditional FPS gaming. Among these are games like the Destiny and PlanetSide series.</p>\n\n<h2>What makes MMOFPS games a difficult genre to build?</h2>\n\n<p>The difficulty in creating these games is mostly due to the differently targeted playlengths of each of the MMO and FPS online genres. </p>\n\n<p>While MMOs have long been the type of game which favors extended periods of play, FPS online games tend to have sessions lasting around half an hour, often considerably less. Finding an effective way to combine these models and their fanbases has proven a very challenging task.</p>\n\n<p><img alt=\"MMOs favors extended periods of play, while FPSs tend to last less than half an hour\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/june/illustrations/20.png\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 555px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>Also factored in here is the inclusion of the standard MMO monthly pay model. While this is accepted among MMO games, players of FPS games are used to a single upfront payment for their normally LAN-based game, making the establishment of this system a problematic sell.</p>\n\n<p>Countering this issue is the potential of a <a href=\"/en/games/category/free-to-play-games/\">free-to-play</a> model. These traditionally charge no upfront fees and earn their money through various in-game transactions. </p>\n\n<p>However, many leading developers are hesitant to engage in this model, with some preferring a full-priced game which then includes free-to-play microtransactions – a system often derided among video game traditionalists.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"MMOFPS as a free-to-play game\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_7/17_working_together.png\" style=\"width: 250px; height: 300px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>Another issue here is one which is less of a problem in PvE game but constitutes a real concern in <a href=\"/en/games/genre/pvp-games/\">PvP</a> – pay-to-win mechanics. In effect, these refer to direct gameplay advantages which can only be obtained through either monetary purchase or an exorbitant amount of grinding. </p>\n\n<p>As it skews the odds towards those who pay their way to victory, this can create a gulf of power between the haves and the have-nots.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"bottom\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/10/RAD_Team_B74910_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSU.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2>The History of MMOFPS</h2>\n\n<p>The earliest recorded game that can be thought of as an MMOFPS game was Underlight, released on the now-defunct MPlayer service in March of 1998. </p>\n\n<p>While it was a technological feat, the limitations of computer processing and bandwidth at the time meant that the combination of the two genres was not particularly cohesive. </p>\n\n<p>Because of this, when people ask what was the first MMOFPS, the most common answer is Neocron, a cyberpunk post-apocalyptic game released in 2002.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"505\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/y7Y6rc6xJjs\" width=\"853\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>The biggest effort and the one which ultimately proved the potential of the genre is still considered to be the original PlanetSide, released in May of 2003. </p>\n\n<p>With up to 399 players able to compete in a single battle, this title is generally thought to be the originator of the genre as it exists today.</p>\n\n<h2>Which Games are Considered MMOFPS?</h2>\n\n<p>The two biggest examples of the MMOFPS genre currently available are Destiny 2 and PlanetSide 2. Destiny has more of a traditional MMO loot and leveling-based focus, as players improve their characters and complete quests for experience, currency and gear rewards.</p>\n\n<p>PlanetSide 2 is more of a widescale battlefield type of game, with over a thousand players able to exist on a single map at the same time, compared to 10 or so in Destiny and depending on map conditions. </p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"MMOFPS games are very exciting and stimulating\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/june/illustrations/21.png\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 555px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>In fact, PlanetSide currently holds the world record for largest MMOFPS battle, with over 1158 players recorded in a single battle. Leveling in PlanetSide is comparatively tame, though there are elements of currency earning and unlockable progression.</p>\n\n<p>Perhaps the most direct form of MMOFPS came with Firefall, launched July 29, 2014. While initially hyped due to a strong emphasis on combining MMO and FPS games in the most coherent manner yet, the game was mismanaged and eventually shut down on July 7, 2017.</p>\n\n<h2>Would an MMOFPS Game Work in eSports?</h2>\n\n<p>Both MMOs and FPS games are represented within the world of eSports, so the combination of the two into an effective <a href=\"/en/blog/esports/\">eSport</a> is possible, even likely. To gain traction on this stage though first requires considerable fan interest and funding from both developers and the community.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"MMOFPS games from a different angle\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_7/11.png\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 555px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>While some of the bigger examples in the genre like Destiny have made progress in this regard, there is yet to be a breakout hit on the level of other successful eSports genres.</p>\n\n<p>MMOFPS games have long stood as a genre with massive potential. Despite this, we are yet to see a truly popular example of this genre, reaching the level of an MMO like World of Warcraft or an FPS like Halo. </p>\n\n<p>With interest in both sides of this genre only growing, a breakout hit remains only a matter of time.

Trelleborg Viking Fortress, Near Slagelse</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Viking location 1 - Trelleborg Viking Fortress\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/june/vikinglocations/viking_locations2.jpg\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 582px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>A Trelleborg, also known as a Viking ring fortress, is a type of circular fort.</p>\n\n<p>These fortresses were built in Scandinavia during the Viking Age and can largely be dated to the time period when Harold Bluetooth reigned as King of Denmark and Norway.</p>\n\n<p>They are believed to of been built after Harold Bluetooth lost control of the Danevirke and parts of Southern Jutland to the Saxons and were part of a defensive Viking network.</p>\n\n<p>Currently, we know of seven Viking ring fortress locations, although there were undoubtedly more, many of which are currently unknown or simply lost to time.</p>\n\n<p>Of the locations that we still know of, they are located in Denmark and Scania, Sweden.

Jelling, the Viking Town</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Viking location 2 - Jelling\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/june/vikinglocations/viking_locations5.jpg\" style=\"width: 909px; height: 720px;\" title=\"Jelling\" /></p>\n\n<p>The town of Jelling in Denmark is one of the most historic Viking locations that exist today.</p>\n\n<p>This small town is visited by over 150,000 tourists each and every year and for good reason.</p>\n\n<p>Located here are some of the most iconic pieces of Viking history, ancient burial mounds, runestones and the Jelling Church.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Jelling Grave Site\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/june/vikinglocations/viking_locations6.jpg\" style=\"width: 1024px; height: 768px;\" title=\"Jelling Grave Site\" /></p>\n\n<p>The oldest of these rune stones was raised by King Gorm the Old in memory of his wife, Thyra.</p>\n\n<p>The largest of the stones was later raised by Harald Bluetooth, who erected the stone in honor of his parents and in celebration of his recent victory over Denmark and Norway.</p>\n\n<p>In addition to these beautifully carved stones, we have the Viking burial mounds located in Jelling, which are a key part of Viking history and traditions.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"505\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/-XZLmQqJhYQ\" width=\"853\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>Finally, we have the Jelling Church itself, which was constructed in 1100 and marked the transition of Viking culture from paganism to Christianity.</p>\n\n<p>The construction of this church thus makes it one of the Vikings most critical pieces of architecture that survives to this day, as this was the start of the integration of the Vikings, into the broader world as a whole.</p>\n\n<p>Many consider the Jelling Church to be Denmark’s “birth certificate”.</p>\n\n<h2>3. The Settlement Exhibition, in Reykjavik</h2>\n\n<p>The Settlement Exhibition is located in Reykjavík, Iceland, created by the Reykjavik City Museum.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Viking location 3 - The Settlement Exhibition, Reykjavik\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/june/vikinglocations/viking_locations4.jpg\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 590px;\" title=\"The Settlement Exhibition, in Reykjavik\" /></p>\n\n<p>This location is based around a 10th century Viking longhouse, which was discovered in this location between the years 2001-2002.</p>\n\n<p>In addition to this Viking longhouse, the Settlement Exhibition also includes various other settlement era artifacts that were unearthed during excavation of the region.</p>\n\n<p>The unearthing of these artifacts marked the oldest relics of human habitation in Reykjavík, from before AD 871.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Viking Ship Art Reykjavik\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/june/vikinglocations/viking_locations8.jpg\" style=\"width: 960px; height: 638px;\" title=\"Viking Ship Art Reykjavik\" /></p>\n\n<p>This longhouse is considered to be a part of one of the oldest buildings in Iceland, as a whole and what is truly amazing, is that it has been preserved in the exact location that it was first constructed.</p>\n\n<p>In addition to witnessing this ancient piece of Viking history, you will be able to see reconstructions of what this longhouse would of looked like when it was standing, as well as learn about its construction and its function.</p>\n\n<p>Other Artifacts include great awk bones, fish oil lamps, an iron axe, as well many more rare pieces of ancient Viking history.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"505\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/v-4ClaAJOQ0\" width=\"853\"></iframe></p>\n\n<h2>4.

height: 720px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>First and foremost, was the Spartan’s primary weapon, <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dory_(spear)\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">the Dory</a>.</p>\n\n<p>As is often shown when representing a Spartan warrior, their main weapon of choice was known as a Dory, which was a long spear measuring between 7-9 feet in length. </p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https://plarium.com/en/strategy-games/sparta-war-of-empires/?plid=133408&pxl=seo#auth/sighup\"><img alt=\"Spartan warriors main weapon of choice was known as a Dory\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/sparta/screenshots/8.jpg\" style=\"width: 1000px; height: 650px;\" /></a></p>\n\n<p>Typically, the Dory was held overhanded, however, it could be held underhanded as well, when adopting a defensive positive, working in conjunction with their shield.</p>\n\n<p>A curved leaf shape, made of iron or bronze represented the point of the spear, while on the bottom was a spike. The latter was useful if the spear was broken during battle, allowing the spear to be used in a secondary manner.</p>\n\n<p>The benefits of wielding a Dory into battle were vast, as it gave the capable warriors reach and the benefit of a ranged attack if needed.</p>\n\n<p>The second weapon that was used in the Spartan army was the <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xiphos\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Xiphos</a>, a short and deadly sword that was even smaller than the average short sword used by most armies during this period of time.</p>\n\n<p>On average a short sword was two feet in length, however the Xiphos averaged between 12-18 inches.</p>\n\n<p>This difference in length allowed the Spartan warrior to wield the blade in incredibly close combat, allowing it to be wielded at times that a longer blade would not be able to be used.</p>\n\n<p>An alternative to the Xiphos was the <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kopis\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Kopis</a>, a curved sword that was used for hacking opponents, rather than piercing. It was considered a nasty, ruthless weapon, akin to using an axe in battle.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"505\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/b1pLWLaRT3Q\" width=\"853\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>Finally, the last weapon that the average Spartan warrior used was their shield.</p>\n\n<p>Although typically used for defense, the Spartan shield was also a formidable bashing weapon, made intentionally to be effective as a weapon. </p>\n\n<p>Its thin edge could be used as a blunt force killing weapon, while its broad surface could be used to knock over or stun their opponents.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"The Spartan shield was also a formidable bashing weapon\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week18/spartan_warrior/sparta2.jpg\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 1242px;\" /></p>\n\n<h2>Spartan Warrior Armor</h2>\n\n<p>Much more akin to the era, the Spartan soldier, or Hoplite, wore armor that was very similar to other nations in their region.</p>\n\n<p>Spartan warriors wore a large bronze helmet, that protected their head, while still offering substantial visibility. A crested mane of horse hair, often indicated a ranking officer.</p>\n\n<p>The Spartan shield, which we discussed previously was a rounded shield that was made of either bronze or wood, that could be used effectively as both a defensive and offensive piece of equipment.</p>\n\n<p>The letter lambda (Λ), standing for Laconia or Lacedaemon was painted on the Spartan warriors shield and was widely known during the period as a symbol of Sparta. This practice was adopted around 420 BC.</p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https://plarium.com/en/strategy-games/sparta-war-of-empires/?plid=133408&pxl=seo#auth/sighup\"><img alt=\"The Spartan warrior's shield was revered by their society\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/new/strategy_move.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<p>The Spartan shield was revered by their society and military families passed it on from one generation to the next.</p>\n\n<p>As body armor they wore bronze cuirasses, leg greaves and ankle guards to protect against slash attacks from their opponents.</p>\n\n<p>This armor would grow and evolve as warfare during the time period progressed, leading the Spartan armor to become even more lighter, allowing increased flexibility and mobility in combat.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"middle\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/11/RAD_RedGirl_B76234_970x66_Android_iOS_English&IMG=1MTM.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2>A Rigorous Life of Training From Birth</h2>\n\n<p>To put it simply, the life of a Spartan was not easy whether you were a man or a woman, as both were subjected to harsh demands and treatment from birth.</p>\n\n<p>Spartan warriors were however exclusively men and their lifetime of training as a warrior began from day one of birth.</p>\n\n<p>Babies were immediately inspected from the time of birth and were often discarded if any signs of defects were shown.</p>\n\n<p>A misconception is that they were tossed from a cliff if a defect was found, however, historians have shown that often times they were simply abandoned to the elements, in which they either succumbed, or were saved by a passer by.</p>\n\n<p>Spartan babies who passed inspection then had their constitution tested by being bathed in wine, rather than water.</p>\n\n<p>Their cries were typically ignored, as Spartan woman adopted a “tough love” approach and they were commanded never to fear darkness or solitude.</p>\n\n<p>Spartans believe this would result in hardened warriors from a young age, molding them into the men they wanted to represented their warrior society.</p>\n\n<h2>The Spartan Warriors Education Begins</h2>\n\n<p>At the age of seven, a Spartan boy was taken from his household and placed under the control of the state.</p>\n\n<p>This was known as the beginning of the Spartan agoge, or military training.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"At the age of seven, a Spartan boy would be taken from his household \" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week18/spartan_warrior/sparta4.jpg\" style=\"width: 539px; height: 777px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>At this point they were housed in communal barracks with other young children their age, where they were taught scholastics, warfare, stealth, hunting and athletics until the age of twelve.</p>\n\n<p>Hazing was a common practice and instructors actively encouraged it, along with fights amongst peers.</p>\n\n<p>Once reaching the age of twelve, they were then stripped of all clothing, except that of a red cloak, forced to sleep outside and make their bedding out of reeds or whatever material they could scavenge.</p>\n\n<p>They were encouraged to steal for food, however if they were caught, they would be vigorously punished for it.</p>\n\n<p>This taught them to survive and prepared them for the harsh campaigns of war, in which they would often experience below sub par living conditions for extended periods of time.</p>\n\n<h2>Once a Spartan Warrior, Always a Spartan Warrior</h2>\n\n<p>Becoming a Spartan warrior was not a choice, it was your duty and it was one that lasted a lifetime.</p>\n\n<p>Spartan men remained on reserve until the age of 60, and given the average life expectancy of the time, this often meant that almost the entirety of your adult life was devoted to the ways of warfare and the training that surrounded it.</p>\n\n<p>Spartan men were discouraged from marrying until the age of 30 and woman were not allowed to marry until they were 20.</p>\n\n<p>Although they could marry before this time, it was frowned upon, as all Spartan men had to live in the military barracks until they were 30 years old.</p>\n\n<p>If they married before this time, they had to live separately from their wives and therefore it was not common practice.</p>\n\n<p>The main point of marriage was not for love, but rather for producing future Spartan warriors. Therefore men were encouraged to marry healthy, strong childbearing woman, or risked facing ridicule for not doing so.</p>\n\n<p>Poor physical fitness was something that was seen with disgust across the board in Spartan society and Spartans were encouraged to stay in peak physical shape at all times, at all phases in their life.</p>\n\n<p>In fact, this was so important, that you could find yourself banished if you fell too poorly out of shape.</p>\n\n<p>In battle, you remained a Spartan warrior until the bitter end. To surrender was considered the ultimate disgrace, resulting in Spartan military units fighting to the last man.</p>\n\n<p>This was so true, that a common saying that Spartan mothers said to their husbands and children before heading off to battle was “Return with your shield or on it.”</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"505\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/piAEzVOqHHU\" width=\"853\"></iframe></p>\n\n<h2>The End of an Era</h2>\n\n<p>At the height of its power, the Spartan warrior was an unbreakable fighting machine, defeating foe after foe and winning them the reputation that still stands today.</p>\n\n<p>Their innovative phalanx formation in which Spartan soldiers fought shield to shield, advancing with thrusting spears against their enemies was a strategy that seemed unbeatable at the time.</p>\n\n<p>In addition to this fighting formation, was the code that all Spartan warriors lived and died by, that was taught to them from birth. </p>\n\n<p>This combination made an unbreakable, fearless force that stood unrivalled for centuries.</p>\n\n<p>Sadly, this unbending code would ultimately be what brought about the end of the Spartan era and their empire as a whole.</p>\n\n<p>Their unwillingness to change eventually resulted in Sparta's defeat by Thebes in the Battle of Leuctra in 371 BC, which ended Sparta's prominent role in Greece.</p>\n\n<p>Once the curtain was pulled back and they were revealed to be just mere mortals and able to be defeated, there was no going back.</p>\n\n<p>Emboldened their opponents and enemies would continue to adapt and innovate new warfare fighting styles, using effective tactics such as long distance warfare, that the Spartans believe to be cowardly.</p>\n\n<p>Sparta remained as an independent state, even if weakened, until the Roman conquest of Greece in 146 BC, ending an era and closing a chapter in mankind's history.</p>\n\n<p><img alt=\"Spartan Warrior Statue\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week18/spartan_warrior/sparta5.jpg\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 1238px;\" /></p>\n\n<h2>In Conclusion</h2>\n\n<p>The Spartan warrior to this day is still thought of as one of the fearsome fighters in all of mankind's history. </p>\n\n<p>Their victories in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds are stories of legend.</p>\n\n<p>The Spartan warrior code lives on to this day, as many modern militaries have adopted much of the training and tactics that were developed by these fearsome warriors during their reign of dominance.</p>\n\n<p>To this day, advanced militaries have a strict code of discipline, ensuring that troops stay in shape at all times, putting them through rigorous training programs and that they maintain their appearances to a high standard.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https://plarium.com/en/strategy-games/sparta-war-of-empires/?plid=133408&pxl=seo#auth/sighup\" target=\"_blank\"><img alt=\"The Spartan warrior code lives on to this day\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/new/spartan_warrior.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<p>This was the Spartan way, as they knew a well kept, well maintained fighting force could strike fear into the hearts of a less disciplined foe, defeating them even before they reached the battlefield.</p>\n\n<p>Unity was paramount to the success of the Spartan fighting force and is something that placed them leaps and bounds over many other military forces of the time. </p>\n\n<p>To this day, this is true, as a strong united fighting unit will often overcome a better equipped foe, even when outnumbered.</p>\n\n<p>In addition to the influence the Spartan Warrior has on our modern militaries of today, they have also affected our pop culture, resulting in massive hit titles such as “300” and “Rise of an Empire”, among many <a href=\"/en/games/genre/strategy-games/\">strategy games</a>.</p>\n\n<p>Games such as “Sparta: War of Empires”, have been massive successes, proving that the warrior mindset is still something to be desired and sought after to this very day and likely, until the end of time.</p>\n\n<p>The Spartan’s rich and long history will live on forever.

It truly did adopt all of the characteristics that made 80’s and 90’s action movies what they were.</p>\n\n<h3>Super Mario Bros. (1993)</h3>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Super Mario was a very anticipated game to become a feature film\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/new/super_mario.jpg\" /></p>\n\n<p>Many kids from the 90s may remember eagerly anticipating the release of this mega-title. It had <em>incredibly </em>high expectations from fans.</p>\n\n<p>That's unsurprising, given that people credit the Super Mario Franchise as being one of the biggest contributors to the growth of the video game industry.</p>\n\n<p>Sadly, unlike other video game movies, this one disappointed almost everyone who watched it. It was flat-out horrible and left many people scratching their heads at what they just watched.</p>\n\n<p>Was that <strong>Mario</strong>? Was that “thing” <strong>Bowser</strong>? Yet, this is exactly what has seen this horrible movie become so renowned among fans.</p>\n\n<p>Fans of video game movies love to hate Super Mario Bros because of how bad it is, which is why it’s become a <strong>cult classic</strong>.</p>\n\n<h3>Sonic the Hedgehog Movie (2020)</h3>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/szby7ZHLnkA\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>If Mario had a movie, then <strong>Sonic </strong>definitely had to have one. Indeed, it wouldn’t be right to have dozens of movies inspired by video games and not give the fastest hedgehog in the world a place on the big screen.</p>\n\n<p>Fortunately, Sega and Paramount pictures felt the same which is why they recruited Pat Casey and Josh Miller to write Sonic the Hedgehog Movie.</p>\n\n<p>Like other video game movies, Sonic had a decent budget. In fact, the creators spent almost $90 million making it. For that money, they got Jeff Fowler as director and Jim Carey in a leading role (<strong>Dr Robotnik</strong>).</p>\n\n<p>Add to this Ben Schwartz as the voice of Sonic and you’ve got a great cast that brings the video game to life.</p>\n\n<p>As you’d expect, the movie sees Sonic protecting the world from another one of Dr Robotnik’s evil schemes. All of this combined to make this one of the best video game movies of all time based on revenue.</p>\n\n<p>As well as making $319 million at the box office, Sonic was the sixth biggest movie of 2020. And, it made more money than all video game movies before it.</p>\n\n<h3>Mortal Kombat (2021 & 1995)</h3>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/-BQPKD7eozY\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>The original Mortal Kombat movie was one for the ages! In fact, it was such a hit that it spawned a franchise of its own.</p>\n\n<p>Today, Mortal Kombat is not only a wildly successful series of video games but also of movies. From live-action offerings to animations, these video game movies have told the story of multiple characters.</p>\n\n<p>The latest Mortal Kombat movie was released in April 2021 and tells the tale of Earthrealm vs. Outworld.</p>\n\n<p>This modern interpretation of the classic battle sees the return of popular fighters such as Bi-Han (aka Sub-Zero), Sonya Blade, and Liu Kang.</p>\n\n<p>We also get to see some modern twists thanks to characters such as Cole Young. He’s a former MMA champion who becomes embroiled in the battle.</p>\n\n<p>Having an MMA fighter in the mix taps into the zeitgeist and gives the latest Mortal Kombat a mainstream appeal.</p>\n\n<h2>Blockbuster Games Inspired By Movies</h2>\n\n<p>Next, we are going to look at the flipside of the coin: video games inspired by movies.</p>\n\n<p>Although there are dozens of games we could have picked, we’ve decided to highlight five games that were a hit with every type of player.</p>\n\n<h3>James Bond</h3>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"James Bond was first a book, then a movie, and later even a video game\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week18/video_games_that_inspired_movies/jamesbond.jpg\" /></p>\n\n<p>Numerous video game titles have been created that were based on James Bond movies, spanning back throughout the years.</p>\n\n<p>However, one stands out above the others due to its monstrous success. Goldeneye 007, which was based on the 1995 film of the same name, was one of Nintendo 64’s biggest smash hits.</p>\n\n<p>In fact, it’s credited for helping accelerate the popularity of first-person shooter video games.</p>\n\n<p>It sold over 8 million copies and was Nintendo’s third-largest seller for the Nintendo 64. Even today it is still fondly remembered by fans.</p>\n\n<h3>Spiderman</h3>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Spiderman expanded its presence from a comic, to television, cinemas and several video games\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week18/video_games_that_inspired_movies/spiderman.jpg\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 591px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>The Marvel Cinematic Universe has spawned the creation of a whole catalog of video game titles and vice versa.</p>\n\n<p>One of the more popular characters, Spiderman, has been adapted into video games over and over again.</p>\n\n<p>One of the most popular movie video games within the franchise was released in 2018. It was well received for its amazing graphics and robust engine.</p>\n\n<h3>Batman</h3>\n\n<p>Not letting its rival pass it by, the DC Universe's Batman the game, was released for both the NES console as well as Gameboy advance, both of which were based on the popular 1989 film.</p>\n\n<p>Later on, we had “Batman Returns”, which was also based on the movie of the same title and was released for various consoles in 1992.</p>\n\n<p>Basically, if a Batman movie has been made, it has a video game adaptation.</p>\n\n<h3>Lord of the Rings</h3>\n\n<p>One of the biggest grossing franchises of all time, the Lord of the Rings, has resulted in a string of movie video games.</p>\n\n<p>“The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring”, was released in 2002 and was made readily available for all major consoles at the time.</p>\n\n<p>It was directly based on the movie adaptation of the series. As the years went on, more and more games were released based on this franchise, including “Middle-earth: Shadow of War\" which came out in 2017.</p>\n\n<h3>Fast & Furious Crossroads</h3>\n\n<p>Of all the video games inspired by movies, this one is the least surprising. Very few movie franchises have squeezed as much value out of a single idea as Fast & Furious.</p>\n\n<p>Moviegoers have probably lost count of how many Fast & Furious movies there are (eight main movies and one spinoff).</p>\n\n<p>Well, there are almost as many games. This doesn’t mean they’re bad.</p>\n\n<p>In fact, compared to other video games inspired by movies, Fast & Furious ones are among the best because they’re a natural fit. They’re based on cars and racing, something gamers love.</p>\n\n<p>Fast & Furious Crossroads game out in 2020 for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. It was published by Bandai Namco Entertainment and developed by Slightly Mad Studios.</p>\n\n<p>Like its counterparts, the main aim is to race cars from the movie. There’s a single-player story mode and a multiplayer option, both of which are extremely enjoyable.</p>\n\n<h3>Enjoy Video Game Movies and Movie Video Games</h3>\n\n<p>So, there you have it, that’s the best video game movies and the top movie video games. The synergy between the movies and gaming is one that’s flourished over the years and long may it continue.</p>\n\n<p>If this relationship continues to produce entertaining video game movies and vice versa, we’re all for it.</p>\n","date":"5/26/2019"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2018/week_11/east-west-header.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13301"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/moba-games-guide/"},"strings":{"title":"What are MOBA games?

In our guide, we will examine the key questions you may have about MOBA games:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>What is a MOBA game?</li>\n\t<li>How to play MOBA games?</li>\n\t<li>What was the first MOBA game?</li>\n\t<li>What are the top MOBA games?</li>\n\t<li>What's in store for MOBAs in the future?</li>\n\t<li>MOBAs and eSports</li>\n\t<li>MOBAs and mobile phones</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<ul>\n</ul>\n\n<h2>What is a MOBA game?</h2>\n\n<p>In short, MOBA games are a form of <a href=\"/en/games/genre/mmo-games/\">MMO</a> which tend to have a combat feel, with gamers also adopting a persona in a style similar to <a href=\"/en/games/genre/mmorpg-games/\">MMORPGs</a>.</p>\n\n<p>An exciting sub-genre of MMO games, MOBAs have grown in recent years to become a key part of video gaming and a pop culture phenomenon in their own right.</p>\n\n<p>The abbreviation <strong>MOBA stands for Multiplayer Online Battle Arena</strong> and refers to games which generally have a very specific set of features in their gameplay and design. Basically, such titles tend to have a real-time strategy element and revolve around a fairly simple aim: to compete in a team against opponents and defeat them in a form of battle.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"What is MOBA?\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_7/23_War.png\" style=\"width: 250px; height: 300px;\" /></p>\n\n<h2>How to play MOBA games?</h2>\n\n<p>A key part of playing MOBA games is familiarizing yourself with the features that such titles tend to have. It is very common for MOBAs to involve:</p>\n\n<ol>\n\t<li>Players joining forces in groups of four or five to take on other teams</li>\n\t<li>Action on a map that features several \"lanes\" and uncharted \"jungle\" between teams' bases</li>\n\t<li>The objective of breaching the enemy's defense and destroying their base</li>\n</ol>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"MOBA Games tend to include team vs team action\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_9/14.png\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 555px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>There is a MMORPG element in MOBAs too, because each individual player has a unique set of characteristics. Common terms for the roles that players take on in MOBAs include:</p>\n\n<p><strong>Mids</strong> - stay in the middle lane of action on the map<br />\n<strong>Solos</strong> - stay in the lane with the shortest distance between bases<br />\n<strong>Carrys</strong> - tend to be assisted by Supports in the longest lane<br />\n<strong>Junglers</strong> - who stay in unchartered territory and attempt to \"gank\" (spring surprise attacks)</p>\n\n<p>These characters all tend to have different attributes, but each undoubtedly has a key role to play in the success of their team.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"MOBA can be accessed from different platforms\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_7/18_Tablet.png\" style=\"width: 250px; height: 300px;\" title=\"MOBA on tablet\" /></p>\n\n<p>Just like many other MMOs, playing MOBAs tends to be historically linked with PC gameplay. However, the rising popularity of the genre means that many titles can now be played on other platforms, including <a href=\"/en/games/platform/mobile-games/\">mobile</a> and consoles.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"middle\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/11/RAD_RedGirl_B76234_970x66_Android_iOS_English&IMG=1MTM.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2>What was the first MOBA?</h2>\n\n<p>There is no simple answer to the question of which title could be regarded as the first MOBA. A name which pops up regularly, however, is <a href=\"https://starcraft.fandom.com/wiki/Aeon_of_Strife\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Aeon of Strife</a>.</p>\n\n<p>Created as a custom map for the original version of Starcraft, which was released back in 1998, Aeon of Strife is seen by many as the gaming experience which gave birth to the core elements which we now associate so strongly with MOBA gaming.</p>\n\n<p>While the Defense of the Ancients – or DotA – map designed for Warcraft III in the early 2000s was also a key moment for the genre, Aeon of Strife undoubtedly deserves a huge amount of credit.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"505\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/3-0VzxG7AZ0\" width=\"853\"></iframe></p>\n\n<h2>What are the top MOBA games?</h2>\n\n<p>A succession of blockbuster titles in recent years have made MOBAs one of the most popular genres in gaming. Some of the biggest titles include:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>League of Legends (119 million monthly active players in <a href=\"https://activeplayer.io/league-of-legends/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">2021</a>)</li>\n\t<li>Arena of Valor (12 million monthly players in <a href=\"https://activeplayer.io/arena-of-valor/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">2021</a>)</li>\n\t<li>Dota 2 (700K monthly players in <a href=\"https://activeplayer.io/dota-2/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">2021</a>)</li>\n\t<li>Heroes of the Storm (6.5 million players as of 2018)</li>\n\t<li>Smite (2 million players as of 2018) </li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>In addition, the best MOBAs also have devoted fan bases who love the fantastical worlds that such games are often based in.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"MOBAs also have devoted fans who love fantastical worlds\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_9/15.png\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 555px;\" title=\"Fantasy MOBA\" /></p>\n\n<h2>What's in store for MOBAs in the future?</h2>\n\n<p>Considering the huge rise of MOBAs in recent years, many are optimistic about their future. With new technologies regularly emerging in gaming, chances are that such developments may have the potential to push MOBAs to a whole new level.</p>\n\n<p>For example, there are already reports that developers are looking at how to pair MOBA gaming with a virtual reality (VR) experience, a move which could throw gamers right into the heart of the action.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Virtual Reality MOBA\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_9/16.png\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 555px;\" /></p>\n\n<h2>MOBAs and eSports</h2>\n\n<p>The idea of playing video games for a living might seem like a teenager’s dream, but the ever-growing world of eSports has made that a reality for some of the most talented gamers on the planet. Professional competitive gaming sees players do battle on a range of titles, with MOBAs forming a fundamental part of the scene.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"eSports Audience Growth\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2018/week_26/Newzoo_Esports_Audience_Growth.png\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 500px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>Competitions related to the likes of League of Legends and Dota 2 tend to have major amounts of prize money on offer, with winning sides often securing multimillion dollar sums for coming out on top. ESports are edging ever closer to the mainstream, and that in turn means that MOBAs could soon be bigger than ever before.</p>\n\n<h2>MOBAs on mobile</h2>\n\n<p>As we've pointed out above, the MOBA genre is commonly linked to the world of PCs. However, the emergence of smartphones and tablets as platforms which can offer a high quality gaming experience means that a host of top games are now available for those who are regularly on the move.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"MOBA can also be played on mobile\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_7/11_Mobile.png\" style=\"width: 250px; height: 300px;\" title=\"MOBA on mobile\" /></p>\n\n<p>In fact, while <a href=\"/en/games/platform/pc-games/\">PC games</a> can be quite tough to initially get to grips with, the accessibility of mobile gaming means that the platform is often a fairly simple way for people to take their first steps into the world of MOBA gaming, especially in terms of simplified controls.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"505\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/X5Eu7Sr0NAQ\" width=\"853\"></iframe></p>\n\n<h2>One of gaming's most exciting genres</h2>\n\n<p>From their beginnings in a custom map created for Starcraft, MOBAs have become one of the most genuinely exciting parts of the gaming industry and the world of MMOs.</p>\n\n<p>With their influence felt everywhere from mobile to eSports, the subgenre is a core part of gaming which is surely only set to go from strength to strength in the future.</p>\n","date":"4/4/2019"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/new/blog_illustration_07.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13294"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/gamer-voice-chat/"},"strings":{"title":"How Gaming Voice Chat Services Can Take Your Fun to a New Level","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"300000","description":"<p>Online multiplayer games in a range of genres are going from strength to strength right now.</p>\n\n<p>A number of great titles have emerged in recent years, with many having a big focus on collaboration and interaction with others.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p>As a result, you need to have access to good communication services if you are going to thrive in such titles.</p>\n\n<p>Fortunately, gaming voice chat services are available to help you every step of the way.</p>\n\n<h2>Why Use Voice Chat in Online Gaming?</h2>\n\n<p>Whether you’re working with friends or actively competing against them, it is great to talk as you tackle a game.</p>\n\n<p>You might want to discuss tactics regarding a plan of attack, or you may simply want to offer up a solid burn after beating them for the sixth time in a row.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"The best gaming voice chats allow a whole new experience\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2018/week_19/rage-5.jpg\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 555px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>Gaming voice chat services make this possible, as you can pull on your headset and get the conversation flowing.</p>\n\n<p>The days of exchanging text-based messages are well and truly over, as game chat allows you to talk as if you are in the same room.</p>\n\n<h2>The Best Voice Chat for Gaming</h2>\n\n<p>So, if you’re looking to get started with gaming voice chat, where should you begin? There are plenty of online voice chat services out there right now, but a good starting point might be to consider a few key names.</p>\n\n<h3>Discord</h3>\n\n<p>When it comes to discussing the best voice chat for gaming, it really feels like there is only one place to begin.</p>\n\n<p>Discord is one of the most popular gaming voice chat apps. It was established in 2015, and has since become a huge success.</p>\n\n<p>In a blog posted last year, the game chat brand stated that it had more than 100 million monthly active users, while it achieved four billion minutes in daily conversation.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/tNUq5Aqv60s\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>The platform is available on Windows, iOS, Android, Linux, and Mac, while it can also be opened in a browser. Both text and online voice chat services are available.</p>\n\n<p>But, how does it work? Well, to get started, the game chat provider’s official site says you need to create an account with an email address and a name.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Discord is one of the top gamer voice chats\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_8/discord1.jpg\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 683px;\" title=\"Discord Booth\" /></p>\n\n<p>After that, you create a server where you talk with friends and then enter a voice channel when you can. Discord also lets you share screens, so you can stream the latest action with friends.</p>\n\n<p>Finally, it also offers Nitro, an enhanced service with a range of special features including bigger uploads and HD video. The latter gaming voice chat platform is available for an annual or monthly subscription.</p>\n\n<h3>Mumble</h3>\n\n<p>Another gaming voice chat brand worth looking out for is Mumble. It describes itself as an open-source voice chat software program that provides low latency but high quality.</p>\n\n<p>The Mumble online voice chat service is thought to be around a decade older than Discord and, like its rival, was fundamentally designed with gaming in mind.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/b6CvLcTrOHk\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>In addition, Mumble downloads are available across a range of platforms, with the game chat service also operating via third-party applications for leading mobile operating systems.</p>\n\n<p>In terms of general features for users, Mumble emphasizes its privacy and security by outlining how communication is always encrypted.</p>\n\n<p>Furthermore, it offers an in-game overlay as well as positional audio, so players can be heard from wherever they are located.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Do you remember playing before gaming voice chats were a thing?\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_8/discord3.jpg\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 590px;\" title=\"discord\" /></p>\n\n<h2>The Best of the Rest</h2>\n\n<p>So, while the duo above might be big names when it comes to gaming voice chat services, there are plenty of other options to consider in the online voice chat space as well.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ventrilo </strong>may be a name that pops up during your gaming voice chat research, while <strong>TeamSpeak </strong>is another major brand to consider.</p>\n\n<p>The latter believes it offers the best online voice chat quality compared to rivals, while it describes its security as military-grade.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Gaming voice chats immerse you in the game\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2017/week_28/1-positive-factors.jpg\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 494px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>TeamSpeak adds that its gaming voice chat software operates at an ultra-low latency with surround sound as standard, while its site does not hold back when it comes to talking about its notable partnerships.</p>\n\n<p>The brand works with Overwatch League, NASA, and Wargaming.net among others.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Using gaming voice chats provides you company when you're alone\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2017/week_49/image-4.jpg\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 400px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>Elsewhere, <strong>Skype </strong>may not be a specialist for voice chat in online gaming, but it could potentially be an option.</p>\n\n<p>In March 2020, Microsoft said that the service had in the region of <em>40 million users daily</em>.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Skype can also be used as a gaming voice or video chat app\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_8/discord9.png\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 888px;\" title=\"skype logo\" /></p>\n\n<p>In addition, <strong>Google’s Hangouts</strong> service is always an option that gamers can turn to, while <strong>Blizzard Voice Chat</strong> was created for the Blizzard Battle.net desktop app and allows gamers to talk to their friends.</p>\n\n<p>Another piece of software that may prove useful is <strong>Steam Chat</strong>, which again offers voice and text chat options ideal for gaming with your buddies.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Ventrilo is well known as a top gaming voice chat\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_8/discord5.png\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 888px;\" title=\"ventrilo logo\" /></p>\n\n<h3>How to Choose the Best Gaming Voice Chat App</h3>\n\n<p>All of this highlights how gamers are not short of options when it comes to gaming voice chat services.</p>\n\n<p>However, the difficulty that emerges when it comes to selecting a game chat provider is the simple fact that the most suitable service obviously depends on your specific needs.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"middle\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/11/RAD_RedGirl_B76234_970x66_Android_iOS_English&IMG=1MTM.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<p>Ultimately, it is up to gamers to fully research all the features that gaming voice chat providers offer.</p>\n\n<p>Following that, you should speak to friends to see what they consider to be the best voice chat for gaming. You will want your gaming voice chat options to be compatible with them and the games you love.</p>\n\n<h3>How Do You Voice Chat in a Game?</h3>\n\n<p>The way you access voice chat in online gaming may depend on the title and the platform you decide to use. For example, Steam outlines how players access chat options in the right corner of the Steam Client or via a web browser.</p>\n\n<h2>Get Connected with Gaming Voice Chat</h2>\n\n<p>So, hopefully, the information above has given you some food for thought on the issue of gaming voice chat, including the brands to consider when it comes to the best voice chat for gaming.</p>\n\n<p>The notion of voice chat in online gaming has come a long way through the years, with a range of providers now offering some intriguing features.</p>\n\n<p>Considering how many online voice chat platforms are available, it is well worth taking some time to think about what you want from your game chat service.</p>\n","date":"2/28/2019"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2018/week_19/rage-header.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13278"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/what-is-an-mmo/"},"strings":{"title":"What is an MMO? – The Evolution of Online Gaming’s Greatest Success","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"300000","description":"<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<h2>How do you define an MMO?</h2>\n\n<p>So, just what is an MMO and how do we define the key elements of the genre? Well, to start at the very beginning with the core basics, the term MMO itself stands for <strong>‘massively multiplayer online’</strong> and means that the games can be played online simultaneously by a huge number of people across the world.</p>\n\n<p>In order to meet the MMO definition, games need to offer an experience on the largest scale and allow thousands of players to compete against and collaborate with each other at the same time.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"What does MMO stand for\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week1/images/4.png\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 555px;\" title=\"What does MMO stand for\" /></p>\n\n<h2>Do all online games offer the MMO experience?</h2>\n\n<p><img alt=\"\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_7/5_Thinking.png\" style=\"width: 250px; height: 300px; float: right;\" />Of course, online multiplayer modes that allow gamers to play against each other have become commonplace in so many different types of games in recent years, but it is important to draw a line and recognize that not all conform to the standards of an MMO.</p>\n\n<p>While major titles such as Call of Duty or FIFA may have dipped their toes into such waters by allowing people to play against each other at the same time, such gaming rarely reaches the sheer size of MMO gaming.</p>\n\n<p>It is online multiplayer gaming, but much different to the epic levels that MMOs tend to reach.</p>\n\n<h2>How do you play MMOs?</h2>\n\n<p>So now we have covered the key basics of MMOs, it is important to consider just how you can play them. For many years, MMOs were largely associated with gameplay on a PC or Mac, but over the years, this has changed to also include a range of other formats including a number of leading consoles, such as Xbox and PlayStation.</p>\n\n<p>Furthermore, the developments seen in smartphones and tablets in the past decade mean such devices have become ideal for gaming.</p>\n\n<p>Leading developers have been quick to react to that and have made many leading MMO games available on them, too.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"middle\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/11/RAD_RedGirl_B76234_970x66_Android_iOS_English&IMG=1MTM.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2>A brief history of MMOs</h2>\n\n<p>Considering the MMO genre is chiefly eliant on the wide availability of internet access, it is fair to say that the history of MMOs remains a fairly brief one, which only takes in the past couple of decades.</p>\n\n<p>While there are many debates about which game kicked off the MMO phenomenon, Meridian 59 and Ultima Online are certainly regarded as the frontrunners.</p>\n\n<p>Created by Archetype Interactive and The 3DO Company, Meridian 59 was released at the end of 1995 and features many classic MMO elements, including an open world setting with a magical, fantasy theme.</p>\n\n<p>Ultima Online, which was produced by Origin Systems, follows a similar style and has remained popular with many gamers for a great number of years.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Game Creation\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week1/images/5.png\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 555px;\" title=\"Game Creation\" /></p>\n\n<h2>Continued evolution</h2>\n\n<p>Since those first forays in the MMO world, the genre has grown and expanded in a number of ways. A host of different experiences are now available to gamers who immerse themselves in this world and, whether you are a fan of steampunk, anime or modern warfare, you are sure to be able to find the MMO game that suits your tastes.</p>\n\n<p>While fantasy also remains as popular as ever, other genres to have emerged include titles rooted in science fiction, horror and even the Wild West.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week1/images/6.png\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 555px;\" /></p>\n\n<h2>A multimedia phenomenon</h2>\n\n<p>This incredible range and array of styles has helped MMO gaming become a dominant force in the online world. It is thought that the number of active users playing some of the genre’s biggest games runs into the millions, with smaller titles even going on to keep thousands of people entertained every year.</p>\n\n<p>The genre’s influence has even been felt outside of just gaming, with top titles inspiring spin-offs including novels and even big-screen adaptations.
