Could they help to propel our gaming experience to the next level? Virtual reality is on the advance, although it has not quite reached the mass market yet.</p>\n\n<p>Today we will look at which VR devices are currently being developed, which further VR developments we can expect in the near future and what gamers have to look forward to. Furthermore, we will take a peek at what we might expect further down the line, which senses can be engaged by virtual reality and what the gaming world of the future will feel like.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"top\"}\" <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"top\"}\" 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/2019/10/RAD_RAID_EN_1920x1080_Serj_2018-0507_01Id5209_B74904_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSO.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2>New technologies in Virtual Reality</h2>\n\n<p>Virtual reality is not limited to headsets and optical devices. After all, “VR” means that elements of reality, with physical features, are used in real time within a computer generated world.</p>\n\n<p>For that reason, VR technology should not only engage our eyes, but will ideally also involve our movement or speech.</p>\n\n<p>A whole variety of technologies can be used to make this possible. Stereo projection, optical tracking systems and force feedback are just a small selection of the technologies developers are making use of. As these are gradually becoming more refined, virtual reality reaches players more readily, becoming ever more impressive and versatile.</p>\n\n<h2>VR headsets and Motion Controls</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"VR in games\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2017/week_22/peripheral-devices-1.jpg\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 523px;\" title=\"VR in games\" /></p>\n\n<p>Despite having received a lot of attention upon its release, the VR headset’s popularity was ultimately rather limited. Virtual reality via wearable headsets was copied extensively even before Oculus launched its pioneering model. The relatively high price certainly didn’t help and put off many potential consumers.</p>\n\n<p>In spite of this, VR headsets are an impressive VR device. They let players experience game worlds up close and in a radically different way. The headsets feature an extremely wide field of vision, which gives the player the sensation that they themselves have become part of the virtual world. Turning your head when wearing VR headsets, you automatically find yourself looking around the game world. It’s a great invention that opens up completely new world of gaming - except for the fact that it’s still pretty pricey (VR headsets for mobile devices are cheaper, but also significantly less powerful).</p>\n\n<p>Alternatives to the high-performance Oculus Rift model include, for example, the HTC Vive and the PS VR - although the latter is only compatible with PlayStation 4.</p>\n\n<p>The Oculus Rift is equipped with “touch” controllers, which allow the additional use of joysticks and keyboards as well as game control via gestures. Meanwhile, the HTC Vive offers considerably more accessories; a headset, a controller base station and a tracker can be purchased separately.</p>\n\n<p>Another model is the Sulon VR headsets, however, they never gained widespread popularity. Other manufacturers include: Durovis, Avegant and Gameface, though many of these companies’ products are only available for the mobile market.</p>\n\n<p>Even before VR headsets were launched, devices such as Kinect had been elevating game control to a new level. This technology was the first that allowed players to control games via movements - in particular, hand gestures.</p>\n\n<p>This opened up completely new ways of gaming and truly changed gameplay in many homes. Nintendo’s Wii also utilized this type of gaming control. It made it possible to create a whole new game experience when playing tennis, bowling or even boxing, as the optical controls required the correct movements, rather than just the push of a button.</p>\n\n<p>In combination with this kind of motion control, VR headsets create the perfect conditions for a type of virtual reality which can be experienced by engaging the human sensory and motor systems.</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>Why VR isn't popular with gamers</h2>\n\n<p>If VR technologies of this type are already available on the market, why do we not find them in every living room yet?</p>\n\n<p><strong>Reason #1</strong>  is cost - until now, VR devices for the home still cost several hundred dollars.</p>\n\n<p>Although some cheaper alternatives are available, they haven’t managed to win over buyers.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"virtual reality hasn’t really caught on\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2017/week_22/peripheral-devices-2.jpg\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 523px;\" title=\"virtual reality hasn’t really caught on\" /></p>\n\n<p><strong>Reason #2</strong> is closely related to this: Not every game can be experienced as virtual reality with these devices.</p>\n\n<p>Only new games which were designed to use this technology during the development phase can be enhanced with VR headsets or other VR devices. So it’s up to the gaming industry to consider VR technology in game development and provide the consumer a wide variety of game options. However, this is a slow process, since VR can’t be integrated into a game overnight. Game developers first need to explore these new possibilities, and find appropriate ways to deploy the technology. By now, some games that use VR technology already exist, however, most new big releases still lack this functionality.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Reason #3</strong> is the hardware requirements for VR headsets and other VR equipment. Not every gamer owns a device with cutting-edge hardware. This is especially true of PC gamers. Once you factor in the cost of upgrading components (or even buying a new computer) in order to be able to support VR devices, the price increases substantially.</p>\n\n<p>Last but not least, there is a <strong>fourth reason</strong> why virtual reality has not managed to reach all gamers yet. Global novelties are always a tough sell in the beginning - because they require further explanation.</p>\n\n<p>Unfortunately, you can’t just plug in the devices and be play any game with them right away. Or at least that’s what many gamers worry about. So some consumers are still skeptical about whether these devices will be compatible with their system and how or if they will get the VR devices to work.</p>\n\n<h2>Next Steps in VR Technology</h2>\n\n<p>We already mentioned VR headsets and motion control for games. Let’s take a deeper look into the future of VR technology.</p>\n\n<p>Ideally, to create the strongest effect, virtual reality should engage all the human senses. However, so far we have only seen VR headsets, which engage the eyes, and a few motion-controlled systems that use our hands and a selection of movement patterns.</p>\n\n<p>What would virtual reality be like if it engaged our whole body and all senses? Cyberith is trying to make this happen with its Virtualizer. For this VR technology, the gamer is strapped into a frame. In this frame, they can jump, duck, walk and even run. All this is possible in 360 degrees. When you are walking within the frame, you are also moving inside the game. Sensors can project movement with a game weapon to the game, instead of the player having to use a classical game controller. This way, the game is controlled with a whole range of movements, including aiming and pulling the trigger. VR headsets support this device and make for an even more realistic version of virtual reality.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"The future of VR\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2017/week_22/peripheral-devices-3.jpg\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 523px;\" title=\"The future of VR\" /></p>\n\n<p>So will gamers of the future be able to play and experience games entirely by moving their body? The answer is yes! Obviously, the main question - that of cost - remains.</p>\n\n<p>It will be interesting to see to what extent, in the future, VR be expanded to interact with other humans senses. It would be fascinating if we could touch, smell and even taste what we experience in games.</p>\n\n<p>Work on this is already underway with a project called FeelReal. These developers are working on two products, the FeelReal VR as well as the Nirvana VR. The FeelReal VR is wireless, and compatible with most VR headsets. It can trigger sensations of wind, vibrations, water mist, hot air and much more. Furthermore, the device can emit seven different smells. The Nirvana VR is a mask that covers the entire face, which adds further to the range of sensory stimuli.</p>\n\n<p>Other VR technologies include, for example, the VR Dome and the VR Cave, which make use of an entire room to create a virtual reality environment.</p>\n\n<h2>The Fate of Virtual Reality</h2>\n\n<p>A lot has happened in the realm of virtual reality in recent years. The first VR devices have been launched and opened up a completely different gaming experience.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"VR at home\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2017/week_22/peripheral-devices-4.jpg\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 523px;\" title=\"VR at home\" /></p>\n\n<p>Although these were expected to revolutionize the world of gaming, this hasn’t yet been realized. There are many different reasons for that - some economic, and some psychological.</p>\n\n<p>Many are still skeptical about these technologies, since their use and functionalities are not immediately understood by everyone. In order to convince gamers, VR devices should be demonstrated, explained and be made available for testing.</p>\n\n<p>In addition, the high prices keep them unavailable to many gamers, which concerns the gaming industry.</p>\n\n<p>Ultimately, acceptance and trust need to be increased and more new games with virtual reality functionality should be developed. If these barriers can be overcome, nothing should be able to stop these technologies. It’s simply a matter of time until we find VR technology in every next gamer’s home.</p>\n\n<p>There is already a lot being said online today about what else will be possible with Augmented Reality in the coming years. However, with its price of several thousands of dollars, Microsoft’s HoloLens remains unaffordable for most.</p>\n\n<p>That being said, this technology is advancing rapidly and should be available to everybody sooner or later.</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/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><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","date":"5/29/2017"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2014/06/Why-You-Should-Work-Together-In-MMOs.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"12932"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/esports/"},"strings":{"title":"The Growth of eSports & MMO Games","category":"MMO Games Blog","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"720000","description":"<p>“Can MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online) games become eSports?” is a question that many gamers, and many developers, have asked themselves.

Some major challenges are standing in the way of developers who wish to see their game among the great <a href=\"/en/blog/moba-games-guide/\">MOBAs</a> (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) and competitive <a href=\"/en/games/genre/shooting-games/\">shooters</a> of our generation.</p>\n\n<p>MMOs, and especially MMORPGs are big, complex and require a ridiculous amount of time to play for any substantial progress - all traits which most eSports games try to avoid. However, it <em>is </em>possible to create an interesting and compelling MMO eSports experience, despite these challenges.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"The International Dota 2 Championships 2015\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2017/february/the_international_2014_1.jpg\" style=\"width: 800px; height: 533px;\" title=\"The International Dota 2 Championships 2015\" /></p>\n\n<p>So what does it take an MMORPG to make it as an eSport and how will the growth of eSports allow it? That's exactly what this article hopes to answer!</p>\n\n<h2>What Are eSports?</h2>\n\n<p>First, let's cover our basics. eSports, or “electronic sports,” are organized competitions and tournaments of <a href=\"/en/games/genre/multiplayer-games/\">multiplayer video games</a>. In other words, it’s the official name for the competitive video gaming professional circuit.</p>\n\n<p><a href=\"/en/blog/navi-partnership/\">Professional gamers</a> compete against each other either online or face-to-face in a test of skill, reflexes and endurance. Just like in football or boxing, trained individuals, or sometimes whole teams, face-off to win prestige, worldwide recognition and large monetary prizes that reach the millions of dollars. Instead of on a field or in a ring, gamers compete using an “electronic system,” or video games in layman terms.</p>\n\n<h3>Is There Only One Genre to eSports?</h3>\n\n<p>eSports games tend to be highly competitive. Essentially, these center around teams of players that fight each other online in enclosed arenas.</p>\n\n<p>In the early 2000s, these were usually real-time <a href=\"/en/games/genre/strategy-games/\">strategy</a> games, but since 2010 the MOBA and the first-person shooter are the most popular eSports genres. However, almost every game with a competitive edge can find an audience and a dedicated pro-gaming scene. Fighting games, <a href=\"/en/blog/mmo-racing-games/\">racing games</a> and even collectible card games are all very popular in today’s eSports scene. The rule is simple - as long as a game is fun and intense to watch, it can find success as an eSports title.</p>\n\n<h2>The Growth of eSports over Time</h2>\n\n<p>Competitive gaming has been around for ages, beginning with the first <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Invaders#In_popular_culture\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Space Invaders Championship of 1980</a>. However, eSports as we know them today only started to evolve in the first decade of the 21st century.</p>\n\n<p>Many point at StarCraft, a top-rated real-time strategy game released in 1998, as the first true eSport title. In the year 2000, the StarCraft craze swept over South Korea, and a huge Pro-gaming scene was established. Pro-gamers became media celebrities, and tournaments were televised over three dedicate TV channels. The game’s impact on the country was so great, that if you googled “South Korea official sport,” the first result was StarCraft II (even though it’s actually Taekwondo). </p>\n\n<h3>eSports Expansion at the Turn of the Millennium</h3>\n\n<p>Since then, eSports' popularity had grown beyond the borders of South Korea and Asia. Today they’re a recognized sport in all of Europe and The Americas. Tournaments draw in huge crowds that fill entire stadiums and are broadcasted live on the internet through several popular online streaming services.</p>\n\n<p>In fact, eSports are the hottest trend in video games right now. In 2016, 324 million people from around the globe watched, talked or participated in some sort of eSports event. This resulted in roughly $500 million in revenue, mostly from media rights, tickets, advertising and sponsorships.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"eSports audience growth\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2017/february/newzoo_esports_audience_growth_q4_2016-1024x576.jpg\" style=\"width: 800px; height: 450px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>Every video game company aspires to create the “next big thing” in eSports. And for good reason - Riot Games, the developer of the MOBA and eSports sensation League of Legends, earned over $1.6 billion in 2015 just from that one, <a href=\"/en/games/category/free-to-play-games/\">free-to-play game</a>. With over <a href=\"http://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2016/09/13/riot-games-reveals-league-of-legends-has-100-million-monthly-players\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">100 million active players each month</a>, it’s no wonder. Much of this popularity is due to the game being one of the most well-known eSports titles in the world, with an official league system and World Championship.</p>\n\n<p>It’s safe to say eSports are a pretty big deal these days, and that every multiplayer game out there wants a piece of the action. However, there is one prominent genre the eSport craze skipped almost entirely - <strong>Massively Multiplayer Online games</strong>.</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>How the Growth of eSports Is Setting the Scene for MMOs</h2>\n\n<p>MMOs are large-scale games where millions of players come to explore, fight and socialize together in a vast digital world. The most well-known sub-subgenre of MMO is MMORPG , which was popularized by games like World of Warcraft and RuneScape in the early 2000’s.</p>\n\n<p>Other sub-genres include the MMORTS (Real-time strategy), MMOFPS (First-person shooter), and even MMOs social games like the notorious Second Life. For the sake of keeping things relatively simple, we’ll focus on MMORPGs and touch on a few more later on.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Real Time Strategy\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2017/february/rts3.jpg\" style=\"width: 800px; height: 418px;\" title=\"Real Time Strategy\" /></p>\n\n<p>Being both multiplayer and competitive, MMOs seem to be perfect eSports titles, at least in theory. So why don’t we see more of them in the eSport scene? Well, it isn’t for lack of trying.</p>\n\n<p>WoW (World of Warcraft), arguably the world’s most famous MMORPG, came out in 2004 but didn’t have a <a href=\"/en/games/genre/pvp-games/\">PvP (player-versus-player)</a> mode until 2007, when Blizzard finally realized the potential tournaments had in drawing in new crowds. For a time WoW was indeed very popular with both viewers and competitors, but it didn’t last very long. In 2010, Major League Gaming, the largest third-party eSport tournaments authority, has removed World of Warcraft from its lineup, blaming the game’s problematic spectating software.</p>\n\n<h3>PvP to the Rescue!</h3>\n\n<p>However, people still seem to enjoy watching World of Warcraft PvP - just ask Jackson \"Bajheera\" Bliton, who won Blizzard's 2014 Best World of Warcraft PvP Streamer award. As of 2017, Bliton has over 300,000 followers and 20 million views on Twitch, a popular online streaming service.</p>\n\n<p>Note that League of Legends isn’t even the most watched video game on Twitch. According to <a href=\"https://newzoo.com/insights/rankings/top-games-twitch/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">market research by Newzoo</a>, LoL comes in in third place, surpassed by Dota 2 (another MOBA) in second and Counter-Strike: Global Defense, a competitive FPS, in first. WoW didn’t even make the top 10 list, nor did any other MMO for that matter. Bliton claims that this gap between traditional MMO and eSports games exists for one main reason: people don’t watch World of Warcraft because they are interested in the matches. Instead, they merely want to see how high-level players play so that they can improve their own game.</p>\n\n<h2>The PvP Dilemma</h2>\n\n<p>It is hard to blame viewers for not sticking around to watch somebody play an MMORPG for the fun of it. MMORPG titles are usually rather slow, and their core experience doesn’t make for a thrilling viewing experience. It’s important to remember that eSports are first and foremost spectator sports; if viewers do not enjoy watching the game play out, then the game won’t work as an eSports title, and that’s that.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Player-versus-Player\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2017/february/playerFantasy.jpg\" style=\"width: 800px; height: 450px;\" title=\"Player-versus-Player\" /></p>\n\n<p>One of the best ways to draw in eSports fans is, of course, providing engaging Player-versus-Player matches for them to watch. However, MMOs are not always built with competitive play in mind and tend to focus more on exploration, quests and more cooperative activities.</p>\n\n<p>These fall under the definition of Player-versus-Environment (PvE), where players fight against a computer-controlled enemy, or against the game itself. Since <a href=\"/en/blog/pvp-and-pve/\">PvE isn’t nearly as competitive as PvP</a> is, that’s somewhat of a problem for MMOs wishing to break into the ever-growing eSports scene.</p>\n\n<h3>PvE vs. PvP</h3>\n\n<p>Even if developers do decide to focus more on PvP to appeal to the eSports crowd, they run the risk of alienating their core player base. MMOs live and die on their content, and adding new things for players to do and experience is key to maintaining a happy, lively community. Balancing between improving the PvP and adding new PvE content is difficult, and most developers prefer to focus on the latter, especially when it comes to MMORPGs.</p>\n\n<h2>What to Do With All That Loot?</h2>\n\n<p>The lack of PvP focus isn’t the only major issue most MMO games have to deal with.</p>\n\n<p>Let’s say an MMORPG is centered on a competitive experience - there’s still the issue of loot, gear and permanent character progression. Gathering loot and XP to improve your character’s abilities and traits is a staple in every RPG, but being stronger only because of an item you possess doesn’t work in sports. Simply put - it’s unfair. In every good eSports title, being better than your opponents means having a better strategy, reflexes and skills, not having a bigger sword.</p>\n\n<p>Julianne Harty, brand manager of Blade & Soul at NCSoft, put it quite accurately:</p>\n\n<p><em>\"Any sport-related activity needs to be easy to pick up but difficult to master, and your proficiency in the sport should not be reliant upon the type of equipment that you use.”</em></p>\n\n<p>Blade and Soul is unique in the way it approaches its combat. Unlike in other MMORPG games, combat isn’t driven by statistics or loot, but by the player’s skill and reflexes, similar to online fighting games.</p>\n\n<p><em>“Being competitive [in Blade & Soul] requires skill and knowledge,\" </em>Harty continues.<em> \"It becomes entirely about the player themselves rather than the choice of class or the equipment of the character.\"</em></p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Level-up in Vikings: War of Clans\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2017/february/vikings5.jpg\" style=\"width: 800px; height: 419px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>However, this still doesn’t solve the issue of character progression, or “character level.” The higher the character’s level, the more the skills and abilities it has. This gives veteran players an immense advantage over any newcomer, effectively demolishing any hope a game has of sustaining a growing competitive community.</p>\n\n<p>On the other hand, you can’t just take a character someone invested time (and often even money) into, and reset its stats every time it goes into a PvP match. It might work with the more dynamic MOBAs, where each of the dozens of characters has predetermined abilities, but not in an MMORPG where players create their custom characters from scratch. </p>\n\n<h2>Success Outside the Realm of MMORPG</h2>\n\n<p>Up until now we mostly covered MMORPG, and although it is the most common sub-genre of MMO, it is hardly the only. Strategy MMO games, MMO shooters, and Survival titles are popular enough to warrant consideration. It comes with little surprise that these sub-genres find more success as eSports titles, mainly because they are, well… less massive.</p>\n\n<p>World of Tanks has been enjoying some success as an eSport title ever since the Wargaming League started in 2013. Its spin-off, World of Warships, seems to be doing even better after an excellent debut as a competitive title at the 2016 Wargaming League Grand Finals in Warsaw.</p>\n\n<h3>Growth of eSports within MMO Subgenres</h3>\n\n<p>Ark: Survival Evolved, an MMO survival game, launched a standalone competitive mode called Survival of the Fittest - a Multiplayer Online Survival Arena (MOSA) where players compete to be the last survivor on an island.</p>\n\n<p>While these games do have a modicum of success, both are relatively new to the eSports scene and are still not popular enough to compete in the big leagues, so to speak. Another problem is that both games sacrifice the very things that make them an MMO, mainly the “massive” part, to appeal to eSports players.</p>\n\n<h2>Keeping It Big by Keeping It Competitive</h2>\n\n<p>So can MMO games inject themselves into the eSport scene without abandoning their roots? We believe so.</p>\n\n<p>RuneScape, a Fantasy MMORPG, conducted an interesting experiment involving eSports and MMOs. The goal was to find a way for an MMO game to remain massive while still work as an eSports title. One of the ideas they came up with was what Studio Head and Product VP, Phil Mansell calls “MMORPG on fast-forward.”</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Make MMO's big\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2017/february/rules3.jpg\" style=\"width: 800px; height: 450px;\" title=\"Make MMO's big\" /></p>\n\n<p>Picture this, if you will: an MMO tournament that spans several days, where hundreds or thousands of players start from scratch on a new server. Progression rates are massively boosted so that participants can level up and develop their characters in a matter of hours instead of days. The ultimate goal is simple and very similar to the one we see in MMO eSport matches today: survive. This is the familiar concept of Last Man Standing, only on a much larger scale.</p>\n\n<p>Having so many players competing all at once is a recipe for action and drama: large battles between groups of players, heartbreaking betrayals and nail-biting showdowns. The “match” might be somewhat longer than what most eSports fans are used to, lasting a few hours each day. But with so many active players and so many different things happening, it will never be boring.</p>\n\n<h3>eSports MMOs: Connecting People</h3>\n\n<p>Viewers will also find it easier to connect with and root for their favorite players and characters, as they are with them from the very beginning of this long journey. Being there for all of an MMO player trials, victories and defeats is akin to following the career of an athlete or a sports team.</p>\n\n<h2>The Future of MMOs with the Growth of eSports</h2>\n\n<p>MMOs are already a part on the eSport scene, albeit right now it's a rather small part. There’s a lot of potential there, and we won’t be surprised if more and more MMOs will start eyeing this lucrative niche in the near future.</p>\n\n<p>MMOs don’t need eSports to stay relevant, but with free-to-play becoming the dominant payment model for most of these games, developers will be looking to eSports as a powerful marketing tool.</p>\n\n<h3>Merging MMO with the Growth of Esports</h3>\n\n<p>However, that doesn’t mean MMOs will start dying out or forgo what made them popular, to begin with. First of all, there is still a huge audience for the “classic” MMO experience, be it RPG or otherwise. Second, there are creative ways to ensure a renowned focus on competitive gameplay won’t come at the expanse of the more traditional MMO elements.</p>\n\n<p>By simplifying combat, allowing for more flexible character builds, and keeping PvP experiences massive, MMOs can bring their own twist into the eSport scene and cement their presence as a major player.</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/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><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","date":"2/16/2017"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2014/07/rise-of-samer.png"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"12851"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/that-feeling-when/"},"strings":{"title":"Behind the scenes of Throne: Kingdom at War - “That Feeling When”","category":"Plarium- Behind the Scenes","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"360000","description":"<p>Plarium recently launched a new marketing campaign for <a href=\"https://plarium.com/en/mobile-games/throne-kingdom-at-war/\">Throne: Kingdom at War</a> - its latest Massive Multiplayer Online Strategy game on mobile. The campaign, titled “That Feeling When”, stars four of the world’s leading athletes from various sports: Hockey player Alexander Ovechkin, MMA fighter Anderson “The Spider” Silva, soccer player Fernando Torres, and basketball player Tony Parker. These four superstars donned medieval armor and posed for a series of photo shoots with one goal in mind - to personify “that feeling when” you win. I’d say they nailed it.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"480\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/DIXU1ZehpWU\" width=\"853\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>Throne: Kingdom at War is the newest game from the makers of the hit mobile title Vikings: War of Clans. Where Vikings took players to the beautiful and savage Northern Kingdoms to take the role of powerful Viking Jarls, Throne casts them as city builders and warlords in an alternative take on one of mankind's darkest eras. It’s a complex and demanding game, and victory depends on constant improvement and meticulous planning. In order to get ahead and achieve victory, players must also cooperate in teams or “Orders\". Your fellow players watch your back, help you out, and coordinate with you on military actions against in-game rivals. Alliances are formed and friendships betrayed as every Lord fights to be the one true ruler the Kingdom, using both steel and strategy.</p>\n\n<p>As a deep multiplayer strategy game, Throne: Kingdom at War emphasizes strategic thinking, as well as teamwork and leadership skills. Since these are actually integral parts of being a successful athlete, \"That Feeling When\" campaign seems like the perfect fit, in both its concept and the amazing athletes chosen to represent it. To celebrate the release of the new campaign, we decided to give you peek behind the scenes at the ideas, experiences, insights and challenges we and the athletes had during production.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Tony Parker\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2017/week_1/ScreenShot2016-12-26at16.53.23.png\" style=\"width: 800px; height: 414px;\" title=\"Tony Parker\" /></p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"top\"}\" <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"top\"}\" 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/2019/10/RAD_RAID_EN_1920x1080_Serj_2018-0507_01Id5209_B74904_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSO.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2>The Idea Behind the “That Feeling When” Campaign</h2>\n\n<p>The main idea behind the “That Feeling When” campaign is to tie the emotions an athlete might have out on the field or in the ring, to the feelings Throne: Kingdom at War players experience while they’re playing the game. In other words, we wanted to show how both gamers and athletes share the same basic experiences while playing. Our game is highly competitive and requires plenty of dedication to be among the best there are, and we think that these are exactly the qualities Silva, Torres, Ovechkin and Parker represent. Emphasizing these aspects of Throne helped us bring out the defining features of our new game.</p>\n\n<p>So once this connection was established, we came up with the idea of using the popular internet meme - That Feeling When - as the means of conveying that connection. The phrase itself is both catchy and familiar, and therefore resonates with a large crowd. Beyond the obvious potential of “going viral” when using a well-known meme, or generating what we call “word of mouth”, we also believe that this combination between internet culture and sports culture is the perfect embodiment of our audience.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Throne: Kingdom at War Athletes Campaign\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2017/week_1/ScreenShot2016-12-26at16.52.35.png\" style=\"width: 800px; height: 415px;\" /></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>Athletes in a Medieval Strategy Game?</h2>\n\n<p><a href=\"https://plarium.com/en/strategy-games/\">Strategy games</a> are a similar activity to sports, in a way. It can give you the same feelings of teamwork and accomplishment. If you watch the Behind-the-scenes video we just released, you can hear the great Fernando Torres speak of how important teamwork and dedication are when it comes to soccer. The same goes for strategy games, and Throne in particular.</p>\n\n<p>To answer another aspect of the question - we choose these four particular athletes because they are some of the best in their respective sports, but also because they come from different countries and yet are known internationally. That way we can represent many different people and nations, and create something truly global and unique.</p>\n\n<p>We also know just how passionate gamers and sports fans can be, so it was really important for us to find the right people for this campaign. In the end, we made excellent choices. It was important for us to show fans that we respect our game as well as Parker, Ovechkin, Silva and Torres. It’s beyond just having celebrities as the face of the game - it’s about what they stand for.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Fernando Torres\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2017/week_1/ScreenShot2016-12-26at16.51.46.png\" style=\"width: 800px; height: 417px;\" title=\"Fernando Torres\" /></p>\n\n<h2>Working With Amazing Athletes</h2>\n\n<p>Working with such dedicated people was a lot of fun. All of them were professional and committed to the campaign as they are to everything they do. It was pretty inspiring. It was also pretty obvious they were having fun with the medieval weapons and armor. It’s easy to see they enjoy what they do, and they brought that passion to the set.</p>\n\n<p>Tony Parker particularly involved, and he kept trying on different parts of the armor and coming up with all sorts of new ideas that were both funny and helpful. It made everyone a little more comfortable to suggest their own ideas. He later admitted that he is really into strategy games, so it was very exciting for him to be a part of one.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Alexander Ovechkin\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2017/week_1/ScreenShot2016-12-26at16.51.11.png\" style=\"width: 800px; height: 405px;\" title=\"Alexander Ovechkin\" /></p>\n\n<h2>The Importance of a Brief</h2>\n\n<p>Each photo shoot was done in a different location, by a total of three different photographers, so we had to make sure they all followed the same theme. Each photo needed to look like it belong with the other, so having different people take them could have been an issue.</p>\n\n<p>Luckily, this was anticipated, and we worked hard to create a really detailed creative brief - a distilled document of all the ideas, instructions and goals for the campaign. The brief was only sent out once we were absolutely sure there was no way anyone could interrupt it in any other way than the one we intended. Basically, if you’re going to run such a global campaign, with many moving parts, it’s important to have a coherent idea that can be easily explained to others.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"In Action\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2017/week_1/ScreenShot2016-12-26at16.52.03.png\" style=\"width: 800px; height: 415px;\" title=\"In Action\" /></p>\n\n<h2>The Challenges We Faced</h2>\n\n<p>Since all four of our stars were from different countries, we had to travel between Saint Petersburg, LA, Madrid and Paris with all of our gear and props. Just imagine going through airport security with a suitcase full of medieval armor. It was… exciting to say the least.</p>\n\n<p>Once we were on location, we did encounter a few problems with the props themselves. They kept falling off, partly because the athletes moved quite a bit, but also because the armor pieces were not designed to be worn on their own, but as a part of a full set of armor. And you have to understand - these were actual pieces of armor, made from steel. They were heavy. At one point, Ovechkin was wearing a helmet that weighed around 4.5 pounds. He made it look easy, but we knew it was tough to wear it while still looking comfortable and natural in the pictures. He pulled it off, though.</p>\n\n<p>To hear what Torres, Parker, Ovechkin and Silva have to say about the “That Feeling When” campaign, strategy games, teamwork and mobile phones, watch the behind-the-scenes video at the top of the page.</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/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><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","date":"1/10/2017"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/05/SF_950x300_Behind_The_Scenes.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"12789"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/future-genres/"},"strings":{"title":"Future Genres & Types of MMOs","category":"MMO Games Blog","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"300000","description":"<p>As most of us know, <a href=\"/en/games/genre/mmo-games/\">MMO</a> is kind of an abstract game genre, and not something that really stands on its own. There’s no such thing as a “pure MMO” - each Massively Multiplayer Online title belongs to a subgenre that dictates the core gameplay elements, gameplay loop and sometimes even the settings. That’s the reason MMOs come in so many different flavors and shapes - you can pretty much take on <a href=\"/en/games\">any existing genre</a> and create a completely new subgenre. Or <em>can you?</em></p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"top\"}\" 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/2019/10/RAD_RAID_EN_1920x1080_Serj_2018-0507_01Id5209_B74904_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSO.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2>Exisiting Types of MMO</h2>\n\n<h3>MMORPG</h3>\n\n<p>Let us start with the subgenres we we’re familiar with. The most well-known of all the subgenres is the <a href=\"/en/games/genre/mmorpg-games/\">MMORPG</a>. Games like World of Warcraft, EverQuest and RuneScape are responsible for the rise of the MMO “genre”, so it’s no wonder that for so many people <a href=\"/en/blog/the-definitive-guide-to-mmo-games-intro/\">MMORPG is synonymous with MMO</a>. It’s an almost carbon copy of the <a href=\"/en/games/genre/rpg-games/\">RPG</a> experience, only some of the NPCs you see wandering around are actually other players. Sure, you can join with those other players to go on particularly different raids and dungeon runs, but that’s about it.</p>\n\n<h3>MMORTS</h3>\n\n<p>MMORTS, or <strong>Massively Multiplayer Online Real-Time <a href=\"/en/games/genre/strategy-games/\">Strategy</a></strong>, is exactly what it sounds like - the MMO version of classic strategy games like StarCraft and Age of Empires. While the basic gameplay itself is pretty similar to that of the single-player variation, the online part adds another layer of challenge, as the player needs to constantly be aware of dozens, hundreds and even thousands of other players and their moves. This amount of players leads to the creation of alliances, clans and Leagues on the one hand, and bitter rivalries on the other. Unlike with the MMORPG, in an MMORTS title, the MMO part can drastically change the experience.</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<h3>MMOFPS</h3>\n\n<p>Surprisingly enough, you don’t see a lot of <strong>MMO First-Person <a href=\"/en/games/genre/shooting-games/\">Shooters</a></strong>. There are plenty of online shooters, and some of them are pretty big and even implement some MMO elements, but proper <a href=\"/en/blog/mmofps-games/\">MMOFPS</a> titles are hard to come by. Destiny, for example, takes place in a massive persistent world, but only allows a handful of players to play together. Some would argue that the gameplay loops of online shooters are too short and repetitive to implement on a massive scale, but some games like Firefall and Planetside 2 have managed to do so with varying degrees of success.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"First Person Shooter\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2016/11/4.jpg\" style=\"width: 934px; height: 296px;\" /></p>\n\n<h3>MMO Racing</h3>\n\n<p><a href=\"/en/blog/mmo-racing-games/\">MMO racing</a> games are a relatively new creation, pioneered by games like Need for Speed World and The Crew. This subgenre is admittedly less popular than the previously mentioned ones, but it isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. Most of these games aren’t full-fledged MMOs, instead following the same pattern set my online shooters and go for the “MMO-light” experience.</p>\n\n<p>Now we get to the really fun part: hypothesizing about the future of MMO subgenres. To be more specific - coming up with new MMO subgenres and mashups.</p>\n\n<h2>Newer MMO Genres</h2>\n\n<h3>MMO Sport Games (MMOSG)</h3>\n\n<p><strong>Massively Multiplayer Online Sports Game</strong> is a game that lets players compete against each other in various team or individual sports. These MMOSG will be somewhat similar to MMORTSs in concept, with a few MMORPG elements thrown in: Players will join together in alliances, or “Teams”, to play against other Teams for Resources. Teams can then join Leagues and fight to win tournaments or major events for even bigger prizes. Now, depending on the sport, players can choose to play specific roles, or develop their character in several different attributes like speed, strength, reflexes and more. There’s not a lot of exploration or even story to find in MMOSGs, but they can be great competitive multiplayer games on a very large scale.</p>\n\n<h3>Puzzle MMOs</h3>\n\n<p>A huge group of players solving logic <a href=\"/en/games/genre/puzzle-games/\">puzzles</a> or a series of challenges together might sound like an almost impossible task, but you forget one thing - it’s already been done at least once. Remember when Twitch played Pokemon from beginning to end a couple of years ago? Literally thousands of players came together and played as one character in Pokemon Red in real-time. It was chaotic, hilarious and a bit groundbreaking, and may even pave the way for serious game developers to introduce a new genre - Puzzle MMOs. It might not be as epic and most role-playing games, but it could possibly turn out to be the most challenging video game genre in existence.</p>\n\n<h3>MMO Fighting Games</h3>\n\n<p>Multiplayer online brawlers and fighting games aren’t a completely new concept. However, we could start seeing online fighting games with much bigger scale. MMO brawlers could be something like a bigger version of Super Smash Bros, while MMO fighting games could deliver an actual <a href=\"/en/games/genre/war-games/\">war simulator</a>, where hundreds of players come together to defend against an invading army in real-time.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"MMO Fighting Games\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2016/11/47.jpg\" style=\"width: 800px; height: 296px;\" /></p>\n\n<h3>MOBA Games</h3>\n\n<p><a href=\"/en/blog/moba-games-guide/\">MOBAs</a> are pretty big right now. In case you’re new to this whole Internet thing, let me first congratulate you on finding out awesome site, and then explain a bit more. <strong>In a MOBA, or Multiplayer Online Battle Arena</strong>, two small groups of players fight across a map in an attempt to destroy each other’s base. Each player plays a character with different skills and strengths, and they work together to overcome the other team. I think that it won’t be long before someone tries to introduce the “Massively” part of MMOs into a MOBA. Instead of two teams, why not four? Why not more? Teams will have to be bigger, but we already have MOBAs with over a hundred different characters to choose from. It would also mean each match would be much more strategic, as each team now needs to worry about more than enemy. Teams could form and break alliances in the heat of battle, play more defensively and let the other teams destroy each other before unleashing a coordinated attack on the survivors, and devise many other clever strategies.</p>\n\n<p>The future of MMOs and new types of MMOs is interesting to say the least. With so many different game genres already existing today, there’s no telling where we’ll go from here!</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/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><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","date":"12/8/2016"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2016/3/blog_illustration_02.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"12738"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/friends-afk/"},"strings":{"title":"7 Things to Do While Your Friends Are AFK","category":"MMO Games Blog","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"180000","description":"<p>There are many reasons for people to step away from their computer while playing MMOs - all of which are inexcusable. There’s nothing that can justify leaving your party to wait for you while you go AFK (Away From Keyboard) to take care of your fragile mortal form.</p>\n\n<p>However, since Plarium MMO players are made from the stuff of legends, I see no reason to write a whole blog post about why you should never leave your raiding party mid-session, because I know you’d never do such a thing. Instead, here are a few things you can do while you’re stuck in place while your clanmates go AFK for the gazillionth time today.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"top\"}\" <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"top\"}\" 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/2019/10/RAD_RAID_EN_1920x1080_Serj_2018-0507_01Id5209_B74904_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSO.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2>Go AFK Yourself</h2>\n\n<p>Yeah, you have stuff to do, too! Just get up and walk away! Never look back! Give them a taste of their own medicine, and see how they like it! By the way, you’ve just started a vicious cycle that will never be broken, so you can forget about ever coming back and playing this MMO again. </p>\n\n<h2>Eat Away Your Frustration</h2>\n\n<p>Since you’re not going to get up from your chair and walk away from the computer, look around you and see if there’s something munchable within arm’s reach. We would advise against eating your laptop; it contains toxic metals and is terribly under-seasoned anyway. And besides, you’ll need it for the next tip.</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<p><img alt=\"\" src=\"https://i.postimg.cc/Yq1CWst3/Clipboard.png\" style=\"width: 300px; height: 300px; float: right;\" /></p>\n\n<h2>Play Another MMO</h2>\n\n<p>While you wait for one MMO to continue on your desktop, start up your laptop and play some other MMO. Don’t give me that “open the game in a new tab” nonsense! You need at least two different computers so you can play these online games simultaneously if the need arises. You’re not going to go AFK from your laptop once the action picks back up on your desktop, right?</p>\n\n<h2>Learn a Skill</h2>\n\n<p>Unless you are some radical MMO grandma, you probably don’t know how to knit. Now would be a great time to learn! Knitting, juggling, or making weird shapes with your tongue - learning a new skills is productive but can take a lot of time. Luckily, you’ve got plenty of that before your friend returns from the bathroom.</p>\n\n<h2>Write a Bestselling Gaming Memoir</h2>\n\n<p>You are a prolific gamer who has invested hundreds, if not thousands of hours into playing MMORPGS, online strategy games, MOBAs and even a few platformers. Share your memories and life experience with the world. Just be sure to omit the boring parts, like when you were sitting in front of your computer, waiting for people who went AFK and writing your memoirs.</p>\n\n<h2>Find Better Friends</h2>\n\n<p>Close your eyes and repeat after me (don’t actually close your eyes, because I need you to read on): “I deserve friends who don’t go AFK”. Now, while you wait for your so-called-friends to come back, whip out your phone and go prowling on every social network and app you know, and meet new people to play with. There are plenty of apps out there for players like you to “swipe right” on.</p>\n\n<h2>Complete the Raid by Yourself Like a Boss</h2>\n\n<p>Who needs a raiding party anyways? You’re the best MMORPG gamer there is! Equip your best sword/axe/staff/crossbow/book and head into the dungeon by yourself. That way you get to keep all the loot to yourself. Don’t be discouraged if you die 17 times in a row - it’s still better than sitting around doing nothing while your party members are off doing who-knows-what.</p>\n\n<p>I bet every MMO player has their own ways of dealing with annoying people who constantly go AFK, though I think the ones I provided you here will open a world of new possibilities before you. Whatever you do, don’t take this sort of abuse sitting down! Stand up for yourself! But only in the figurative sense, because your friends could be back any minute and then you’ll finally be able to go on that new raid you’ve been dying to complete.</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/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><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","date":"11/13/2016"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2016/3/blog_illustration_08.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"12687"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/speedrun/"},"strings":{"title":"Can You Speedrun MMOs?","category":"MMO Games Blog","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"180000","description":"<p>Gamers have been doing speedruns of their favorite games since the days of the original DOOM. It’s a long-honored tradition that showcases both skill and determination, and serves to differentiate the hardcore from the really super-duper hardcore.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"top\"}\" <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"top\"}\" 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/2019/10/RAD_RAID_EN_1920x1080_Serj_2018-0507_01Id5209_B74904_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSO.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2>What does speedrun mean?</h2>\n\n<p>For those not in the know, a “speedrun” is when someone plays a game with the goal of finishing it as fast as possible. While it sounds simple enough, decades of dedicated gamers have refined it to something akin to an art form. Master speedrunners know how to use bugs and exploits within the game to move faster, destroy enemies more efficiently, and even skip whole portions of the game. Every move is meticulously calculated to shave precious seconds off the game’s runtime on the way to another record.</p>\n\n<p>Now that we’re all on the same page, let’s get down to the issue at hand: Can you speedrun MMOs, and if so, should you?</p>\n\n<p>MMOs are sprawling adventures that can virtually go on and on. That fact alone seems to be enough to answer our question. How can you speedrun a game that never ends? You might be able to complete certain quests quickly, reach the level cap at lightning speed, or rocket up the leaderboards, but you will never ever stop that clock from running, as there is always more to do and accomplish. However, no one said you have to actually speedrun a game until the very end.</p>\n\n<p>If we think of it that way, then MMOs are pretty perfect for speedrunners. Instead of going through the whole thing, MMOs can be broken down into single quests, story-arcs or even certain achievements, thus transforming any one MMO into dozens of separate speedruns. Of course, it is still possible to speedrun entire MMORPGs, since most of them have some sort of main story-arc that does indeed have an end - until the next expansion is released, that is.</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>MMORTS</h2>\n\n<p>MMORTSs, or online strategy games, are a bit different. While some of them do have some sort of single-player campaign, advancing in this campaign requires a lot of effort in between missions - work that can’t be done in hours, or even days. Since these games are more about the thrill of conquest, and not a complex story-arc, speedrunners can focus on achieving specific goals in the shortest time possible. Reaching a certain level, building the perfect Castle, and maybe even ascending to an important role in their Clan. <a href=\"https://plarium.com/en/strategy-games/\">Strategy games</a> bring a whole set of new challenges for the speedrunner, since it’s not always about just being fast or knowing the ins-and-outs of the game. It’s also about knowing people, and how to work with them or outsmart them.</p>\n\n<p>Now that we know we can, in fact, speedrun MMOs, the questions is - should we? Personally, I say everyone should play the game in the way they most enjoy it. However, I still think that blazing through MMOs, especially MMORPGS, is kind of missing the point. Epic games usually come with an epic story, filled with truly breath-taking moments, so speeding through them could ruin the whole experience. However, since speedrunners usually complete multiple runs in an attempt to reach the best time possible, I guess that they could always take the first time slowly and enjoy everything the game has to offer.</p>\n\n<p>Overall, I would say that speedrunning other online games, especially online shooters or MOBAs is much more rewarding to a runner seeking to show off their skills. These game require the fast reflexes and deep knowledge of gameplay mechanics speedrunners love to boast about. However, that isn’t to say you shouldn’t try and speedrun an MMO or an online strategy game if you are looking for a different kind of challenge.</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/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><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","date":"11/3/2016"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2016/3/blog_illustration_03.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"12666"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/massive/"},"strings":{"title":"Do MMOs Have to Be Massive?","category":"MMO Games Blog","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"180000","description":"<p>Sea of Thieves by Rare is a pretty unique-looking game. It’s a game about adventuring together with friends on a pirate ship in a vast world. The catch is, you won’t encounter many other players while sailing the seas in search for treasure, mainly to help preserve that sense of exploration and discovery. There’s nothing more disheartening than following an old map to a desolate island only to find 50 other crews all digging for the same treasure. Now, this begs the question - is it still an MMO without many other players sharing the same virtual space?</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"top\"}\" 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/2019/10/RAD_RAID_EN_1920x1080_Serj_2018-0507_01Id5209_B74904_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSO.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2>Single Player MMO - is it Still Massive?</h2>\n\n<p><a href=\"/en/blog/the-definitive-guide-to-mmo-games-intro/\">MMO</a> stands for Massively Multiplayer Online, with \"Massively\" usually being the most important aspect of the genre. Classic MMOs, like World of Warcraft, have millions of players in-game at the same time, occupying the same virtual world. In other words - a massive amount of players are playing together simultaneously. Wherever you go in the game world, you’ll always find other players around you in real-time. But is the number of players all that defines an MMO? Can these games fulfil the “massive” criterion in different ways? Must they even be massive at all? Is a Single Player MMO, indeed an MMO?</p>\n\n<p>The word “Massively” doesn’t necessarily apply to the number of players, but also to the size of the world. Any huge world shared by a large amount of players can be considered an MMO (as long as it’s online, of course). You don’t have to constantly be surrounded by other players to feel like a part of a huge online community. One could argue that the mere possibility of encountering other players is enough to make you feel like you’re in a living world where other players' actions are just as important or meaningful as your own. Naturally, you still need to have a relatively large number of players in the world at any given time, but you wouldn't need to constantly see them to know they are there. </p>\n\n<h2>Are MMOs with Only a Few Players Considered Single Player MMOs?</h2>\n\n<p>There’s a recent trend of big online games where you don’t see a lot of players around you at all times. Games like Destiny and The Division are good examples of that, although MMO purists might not agree on the second one. There are even some Survival MMOs that let you encounter very few players, but these encounters are so jarring, and so unpredictable, they are more than enough to be significant. These kinds of games prove you can scale down the amount of people each player interacts with, and as long you have a rich world to explore and plenty of content to engage the player with, your MMO will be just fine.</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>The Smallest MMOs </h2>\n\n<p>What about the extremes? What if one would take \"Massively\" out of the equation altogether? Well, then the game is no longer an MMO. Let’s say you have plenty of players around you, but the game world is confined to a small set of rooms. That’s basically the situation in many competitive multiplayer <em>shooters </em>or <em>MOBAs</em>, and they are definitely not MMOs. On the other end of the spectrum, you have games with huge world, but very few other players to engage with, if any. Well, these are <em>sandbox games</em>, and there are plenty of stellar examples of single-player sandbox experiences.<br />\n <br />\nTo sum it up - you can’t really take the \"Massively\" part out of an MMO, but you can play with it a bit. You can either have tons of players adventuring together in a large open world, or you can reduce the number of players to just a few groups, and still retain the signature MMO and MMORPG experiences. MMORTS might be a whole other story, since the more enemies and allies you have, the more fun you can have. Nevertheless, one important notion: when it comes to an MMO - every letter is important.</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/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><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","date":"9/22/2016"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2016/3/blog_illustration_09.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"11598"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/mmorpg-character/"},"strings":{"title":"What Does Your MMORPG Character Say about You?","category":"MMO Games Blog","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"180000","description":"<p>There are always so many different races and backgrounds to choose a character from in an MMORPG, but for some reason we are usually drawn to very specific types of MMORPG characters.

Then again, it might just be that you’re the worst kind of practical joker, and you simply enjoy that whole “gotcha!” moment, especially with this very unique but popular MMORPG character.</p>\n\n<h2>4. Magic Type Person</h2>\n\n<p>There’s something about destroying monsters the size of buildings with the power of your mind that really gets you going. You tend to look down on the brawny barbarians, and laugh maniacally as you melt their skin with fire and lightning. Just like you always dreamed of doing to your high school bullies. This MMORPG character might have more significance to it than you would have imagined...</p>\n\n<h2>5. The Quiet Healer</h2>\n\n<p>Being unappreciated is better than being ignored, am I right? But is the constant cursing, swearing and other forms of verbal abuse you get worth it? They’ll never notice your hard work when everything goes right, and will always blame you when they die. But as long as they acknowledge your existence, you can take it.</p>\n\n<h2>In Summary</h2>\n\n<p>Next time you start a new <a href=\"/en/games/genre/mmo-games/\">MMO game</a>, think hard about the character you’re going to play. Or don’t, because the only thing your character of choice really says about you is that you love MMORPGs and occasionally poking random people with pointy sticks!</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/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><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","date":"6/23/2016"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2016/3/blog_illustration_04.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"11476"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/right-avatar/"},"strings":{"title":"Choosing the right MMO avatar","category":"MMO Gaming Tips","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"180000","description":"<p>Gamers are always on the lookout for the right avatars. The good news with <a href=\"/en/games/genre/mmo-games/\">MMOs</a> is that you can play virtually any type of character, with any avatar you want. You can play as any conceivable character including a dwarf, shapeshifter, troll, warlock and others. It’s entirely possible to play across gender lines with males playing with female avatars and females playing with male avatars, as roleplaying as the other gender is very common and simple to do in the most popular MMO games.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"top\"}\" 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/2019/10/RAD_RAID_EN_1920x1080_Serj_2018-0507_01Id5209_B74904_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSO.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<p>Lots of research has been conducted in the area of avatars and how players select them in games like World of Warcraft, Final Fantasy and scores of others. The avatar is essentially an idealized concept of who a player wants to be. It is also a way for players to experiment with different types of identities. Several players just use avatars as a means to an end, getting from point A to point B by assuming a character and playing accordingly. </p>\n\n<p>Players who are driven by achievement objectives tend to focus on their avatar’s equipment but players who are focused on things like immersion tend to focus on the appearance of their avatar. Identity in the virtual world is an important topic. </p>\n\n<h3>Avatars in MMO and in the Real World</h3>\n\n<p>There is a school of thought that believes that anything can be created in a virtual world and that the constraints of real life do not exist in the virtual realm. With <a href=\"/en/games/genre/mmorpg-games/\">MMORPGs</a> it’s really easy to see how the trappings of the real world, power structures and all those affiliations transfer over. </p>\n\n<p>There is a world of difference between the <a href=\"/en/blog/eastern-games-vs-western-games/\">MMOs of the East and the MMOs of the West</a>. The characters of Asian MMOs have specific character appearances, but the characters of MMORPGs have a wide degree of customization with myriad physical characteristics. </p>\n\n<p>It appears as if players in Western countries are more concerned with their appearances, but there is nothing to substantiate that. For Asian players there is a tendency to avoid character-creation systems that allow for maximum personalization of avatars, especially among higher-level players.</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>What Makes up the Demographics of Player Avatars</h2>\n\n<p>It’s interesting to note that in a recent poll of MMO players in terms of gender and age distribution, the highest percentage of female players was in the 23 – 28 age group (27.9% were female), and the highest percentage of male users was in the 18 - 22 age group at 24.2%.  </p>\n\n<p>The next highest user-group category was the 23 – 28 age range for male users at 23.5%. For the females it was 27.3% in the over 35 age group. This data was compiled from 35,000 MMORPG players via online surveys by Nick Yee. </p>\n\n<h2>What Can We Learn from MMO Avatars?</h2>\n\n<p>It’s interesting in that the demographics also paint a picture of the avatars that are selected and why they are as prolific as they are. With regards to avatars, it is evident that there are expectations that avatars are used as a reason for participating in a particular environment. For those players who are goal oriented, avatars are more likely used as tools to achieve goals.</p>\n\n<p>This also brings into question different personality types – for example introverts and extroverts. Do role-reversals take place in MMO games and are these reflected in the avatars selected by players? You bet they do, and they are!</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/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><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","date":"6/1/2016"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2016/3/blog_illustration_11.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"11392"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/female-avatars/"},"strings":{"title":"Female Avatars in MMOs","category":"MMO Games Blog","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"180000","description":"<p>International Women’s Day is here, and it got me thinking about <a href=\"//plarium.com/en/mmo-games/guide-for-women/\">women in MMO games</a>, or more precisely - female avatars and the people who play them. Naturally, a lot of women choose a female avatar when creating their characters. I makes sense, as they will probably relate more to a female character to a male one. However, they are not the only ones to choose to do so. A lot of men also decide to play as a female character, preferring to take the appearance of a woman in-game.</p>\n\n<p>“So what?” I hear you scoff, “people also play Elves, Orcs and Lizardfolk in MMOs, and these aren’t even human.” Well, that’s true. People play games to experience something different than real life. Maybe to some men, playing as a woman is the same as playing a Night Elf - it’s simply a way to experience what’s it like to be someone, or something, other than themselves.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"top\"}\" <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"top\"}\" 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/2019/10/RAD_RAID_EN_1920x1080_Serj_2018-0507_01Id5209_B74904_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSO.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2>Role-playing</h2>\n\n<p><a href=\"//plarium.com/en/mmo-games/\">MMOs</a> and video games in general give us the opportunity to be whatever we want, so why not take it all the way and play a gender other than the one we identify as? Seems like a reasonable assumption, right?</p>\n\n<p>However, I believe playing as a female can be more than simply “playing pretend”. It can be an interesting experience just to see how other players act around a character they perceive as a woman. It might give you some insight into how it feels to be a woman playing MMOs, or more importantly - teach you how you think female players behave.</p>\n\n<p>When men play a female character, they automatically change their behavior and try and play how they think a woman would play. More often than not, they are completely off the mark. Studies show that men move in different ways when they play a female character. They tend to jump more, stand at a distance from the rest of their party, and use way more emoticons. It’s as if they are actively trying to be noticed, which leads to another possible reason - attention.</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>Female characters stand out</h2>\n\n<p>Female characters stand out in MMOs. It may be because there are less women playing, but also because most female avatars are portrayed as sexually attractive. Some men use female characters to ensure they will always find a group to play with, or to make sure there voice is heard. There’s also a myth about players being nicer to, and less likely to attack, players with female avatars, so that’s another reason why men might consider using one.</p>\n\n<p>Weirdly enough, women don’t often play male characters when given the choice. The percentage of female gamers playing a male character is much smaller than that of male gamers playing as females. I wonder why that is? Do they feel more comfortable with their gender and sexuality than men? Do they not feel the need to try and be someone else, just for a little bit?</p>\n\n<p>Whichever the case may be, it seems that most women and even some men agree - it's simply more fun to play MMOs as a woman.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"bottom\"}\"

Could they help to propel our gaming experience to the next level? Virtual reality is on the advance, although it has not quite reached the mass market yet.</p>\n\n<p>Today we will look at which VR devices are currently being developed, which further VR developments we can expect in the near future and what gamers have to look forward to. Furthermore, we will take a peek at what we might expect further down the line, which senses can be engaged by virtual reality and what the gaming world of the future will feel like.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"top\"}\" <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"top\"}\" 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/2019/10/RAD_RAID_EN_1920x1080_Serj_2018-0507_01Id5209_B74904_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSO.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2>New technologies in Virtual Reality</h2>\n\n<p>Virtual reality is not limited to headsets and optical devices. After all, “VR” means that elements of reality, with physical features, are used in real time within a computer generated world.</p>\n\n<p>For that reason, VR technology should not only engage our eyes, but will ideally also involve our movement or speech.</p>\n\n<p>A whole variety of technologies can be used to make this possible. Stereo projection, optical tracking systems and force feedback are just a small selection of the technologies developers are making use of. As these are gradually becoming more refined, virtual reality reaches players more readily, becoming ever more impressive and versatile.</p>\n\n<h2>VR headsets and Motion Controls</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"VR in games\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2017/week_22/peripheral-devices-1.jpg\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 523px;\" title=\"VR in games\" /></p>\n\n<p>Despite having received a lot of attention upon its release, the VR headset’s popularity was ultimately rather limited. Virtual reality via wearable headsets was copied extensively even before Oculus launched its pioneering model. The relatively high price certainly didn’t help and put off many potential consumers.</p>\n\n<p>In spite of this, VR headsets are an impressive VR device. They let players experience game worlds up close and in a radically different way. The headsets feature an extremely wide field of vision, which gives the player the sensation that they themselves have become part of the virtual world. Turning your head when wearing VR headsets, you automatically find yourself looking around the game world. It’s a great invention that opens up completely new world of gaming - except for the fact that it’s still pretty pricey (VR headsets for mobile devices are cheaper, but also significantly less powerful).</p>\n\n<p>Alternatives to the high-performance Oculus Rift model include, for example, the HTC Vive and the PS VR - although the latter is only compatible with PlayStation 4.</p>\n\n<p>The Oculus Rift is equipped with “touch” controllers, which allow the additional use of joysticks and keyboards as well as game control via gestures. Meanwhile, the HTC Vive offers considerably more accessories; a headset, a controller base station and a tracker can be purchased separately.</p>\n\n<p>Another model is the Sulon VR headsets, however, they never gained widespread popularity. Other manufacturers include: Durovis, Avegant and Gameface, though many of these companies’ products are only available for the mobile market.</p>\n\n<p>Even before VR headsets were launched, devices such as Kinect had been elevating game control to a new level. This technology was the first that allowed players to control games via movements - in particular, hand gestures.</p>\n\n<p>This opened up completely new ways of gaming and truly changed gameplay in many homes. Nintendo’s Wii also utilized this type of gaming control. It made it possible to create a whole new game experience when playing tennis, bowling or even boxing, as the optical controls required the correct movements, rather than just the push of a button.</p>\n\n<p>In combination with this kind of motion control, VR headsets create the perfect conditions for a type of virtual reality which can be experienced by engaging the human sensory and motor systems.</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>Why VR isn't popular with gamers</h2>\n\n<p>If VR technologies of this type are already available on the market, why do we not find them in every living room yet?</p>\n\n<p><strong>Reason #1</strong>  is cost - until now, VR devices for the home still cost several hundred dollars.</p>\n\n<p>Although some cheaper alternatives are available, they haven’t managed to win over buyers.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"virtual reality hasn’t really caught on\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2017/week_22/peripheral-devices-2.jpg\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 523px;\" title=\"virtual reality hasn’t really caught on\" /></p>\n\n<p><strong>Reason #2</strong> is closely related to this: Not every game can be experienced as virtual reality with these devices.</p>\n\n<p>Only new games which were designed to use this technology during the development phase can be enhanced with VR headsets or other VR devices. So it’s up to the gaming industry to consider VR technology in game development and provide the consumer a wide variety of game options. However, this is a slow process, since VR can’t be integrated into a game overnight. Game developers first need to explore these new possibilities, and find appropriate ways to deploy the technology. By now, some games that use VR technology already exist, however, most new big releases still lack this functionality.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Reason #3</strong> is the hardware requirements for VR headsets and other VR equipment. Not every gamer owns a device with cutting-edge hardware. This is especially true of PC gamers. Once you factor in the cost of upgrading components (or even buying a new computer) in order to be able to support VR devices, the price increases substantially.</p>\n\n<p>Last but not least, there is a <strong>fourth reason</strong> why virtual reality has not managed to reach all gamers yet. Global novelties are always a tough sell in the beginning - because they require further explanation.</p>\n\n<p>Unfortunately, you can’t just plug in the devices and be play any game with them right away. Or at least that’s what many gamers worry about. So some consumers are still skeptical about whether these devices will be compatible with their system and how or if they will get the VR devices to work.</p>\n\n<h2>Next Steps in VR Technology</h2>\n\n<p>We already mentioned VR headsets and motion control for games. Let’s take a deeper look into the future of VR technology.</p>\n\n<p>Ideally, to create the strongest effect, virtual reality should engage all the human senses. However, so far we have only seen VR headsets, which engage the eyes, and a few motion-controlled systems that use our hands and a selection of movement patterns.</p>\n\n<p>What would virtual reality be like if it engaged our whole body and all senses? Cyberith is trying to make this happen with its Virtualizer. For this VR technology, the gamer is strapped into a frame. In this frame, they can jump, duck, walk and even run. All this is possible in 360 degrees. When you are walking within the frame, you are also moving inside the game. Sensors can project movement with a game weapon to the game, instead of the player having to use a classical game controller. This way, the game is controlled with a whole range of movements, including aiming and pulling the trigger. VR headsets support this device and make for an even more realistic version of virtual reality.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"The future of VR\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2017/week_22/peripheral-devices-3.jpg\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 523px;\" title=\"The future of VR\" /></p>\n\n<p>So will gamers of the future be able to play and experience games entirely by moving their body? The answer is yes! Obviously, the main question - that of cost - remains.</p>\n\n<p>It will be interesting to see to what extent, in the future, VR be expanded to interact with other humans senses. It would be fascinating if we could touch, smell and even taste what we experience in games.</p>\n\n<p>Work on this is already underway with a project called FeelReal. These developers are working on two products, the FeelReal VR as well as the Nirvana VR. The FeelReal VR is wireless, and compatible with most VR headsets. It can trigger sensations of wind, vibrations, water mist, hot air and much more. Furthermore, the device can emit seven different smells. The Nirvana VR is a mask that covers the entire face, which adds further to the range of sensory stimuli.</p>\n\n<p>Other VR technologies include, for example, the VR Dome and the VR Cave, which make use of an entire room to create a virtual reality environment.</p>\n\n<h2>The Fate of Virtual Reality</h2>\n\n<p>A lot has happened in the realm of virtual reality in recent years. The first VR devices have been launched and opened up a completely different gaming experience.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"VR at home\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2017/week_22/peripheral-devices-4.jpg\" style=\"width: 888px; height: 523px;\" title=\"VR at home\" /></p>\n\n<p>Although these were expected to revolutionize the world of gaming, this hasn’t yet been realized. There are many different reasons for that - some economic, and some psychological.</p>\n\n<p>Many are still skeptical about these technologies, since their use and functionalities are not immediately understood by everyone. In order to convince gamers, VR devices should be demonstrated, explained and be made available for testing.</p>\n\n<p>In addition, the high prices keep them unavailable to many gamers, which concerns the gaming industry.</p>\n\n<p>Ultimately, acceptance and trust need to be increased and more new games with virtual reality functionality should be developed. If these barriers can be overcome, nothing should be able to stop these technologies. It’s simply a matter of time until we find VR technology in every next gamer’s home.</p>\n\n<p>There is already a lot being said online today about what else will be possible with Augmented Reality in the coming years. However, with its price of several thousands of dollars, Microsoft’s HoloLens remains unaffordable for most.</p>\n\n<p>That being said, this technology is advancing rapidly and should be available to everybody sooner or later.</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/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><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","date":"5/29/2017"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2014/06/Why-You-Should-Work-Together-In-MMOs.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"12932"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/esports/"},"strings":{"title":"The Growth of eSports & MMO Games","category":"MMO Games Blog","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"720000","description":"<p>“Can MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online) games become eSports?” is a question that many gamers, and many developers, have asked themselves.

That's exactly what this article hopes to answer!</p>\n\n<h2>What Are eSports?</h2>\n\n<p>First, let's cover our basics. eSports, or “electronic sports,” are organized competitions and tournaments of <a href=\"/en/games/genre/multiplayer-games/\">multiplayer video games</a>. In other words, it’s the official name for the competitive video gaming professional circuit.</p>\n\n<p><a href=\"/en/blog/navi-partnership/\">Professional gamers</a> compete against each other either online or face-to-face in a test of skill, reflexes and endurance. Just like in football or boxing, trained individuals, or sometimes whole teams, face-off to win prestige, worldwide recognition and large monetary prizes that reach the millions of dollars. Instead of on a field or in a ring, gamers compete using an “electronic system,” or video games in layman terms.</p>\n\n<h3>Is There Only One Genre to eSports?</h3>\n\n<p>eSports games tend to be highly competitive. Essentially, these center around teams of players that fight each other online in enclosed arenas.</p>\n\n<p>In the early 2000s, these were usually real-time <a href=\"/en/games/genre/strategy-games/\">strategy</a> games, but since 2010 the MOBA and the first-person shooter are the most popular eSports genres. However, almost every game with a competitive edge can find an audience and a dedicated pro-gaming scene. Fighting games, <a href=\"/en/blog/mmo-racing-games/\">racing games</a> and even collectible card games are all very popular in today’s eSports scene. The rule is simple - as long as a game is fun and intense to watch, it can find success as an eSports title.</p>\n\n<h2>The Growth of eSports over Time</h2>\n\n<p>Competitive gaming has been around for ages, beginning with the first <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Invaders#In_popular_culture\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Space Invaders Championship of 1980</a>. However, eSports as we know them today only started to evolve in the first decade of the 21st century.</p>\n\n<p>Many point at StarCraft, a top-rated real-time strategy game released in 1998, as the first true eSport title. In the year 2000, the StarCraft craze swept over South Korea, and a huge Pro-gaming scene was established. Pro-gamers became media celebrities, and tournaments were televised over three dedicate TV channels. The game’s impact on the country was so great, that if you googled “South Korea official sport,” the first result was StarCraft II (even though it’s actually Taekwondo). </p>\n\n<h3>eSports Expansion at the Turn of the Millennium</h3>\n\n<p>Since then, eSports' popularity had grown beyond the borders of South Korea and Asia. Today they’re a recognized sport in all of Europe and The Americas. Tournaments draw in huge crowds that fill entire stadiums and are broadcasted live on the internet through several popular online streaming services.</p>\n\n<p>In fact, eSports are the hottest trend in video games right now. In 2016, 324 million people from around the globe watched, talked or participated in some sort of eSports event. This resulted in roughly $500 million in revenue, mostly from media rights, tickets, advertising and sponsorships.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"eSports audience growth\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2017/february/newzoo_esports_audience_growth_q4_2016-1024x576.jpg\" style=\"width: 800px; height: 450px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>Every video game company aspires to create the “next big thing” in eSports. And for good reason - Riot Games, the developer of the MOBA and eSports sensation League of Legends, earned over $1.6 billion in 2015 just from that one, <a href=\"/en/games/category/free-to-play-games/\">free-to-play game</a>. With over <a href=\"http://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2016/09/13/riot-games-reveals-league-of-legends-has-100-million-monthly-players\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">100 million active players each month</a>, it’s no wonder. Much of this popularity is due to the game being one of the most well-known eSports titles in the world, with an official league system and World Championship.</p>\n\n<p>It’s safe to say eSports are a pretty big deal these days, and that every multiplayer game out there wants a piece of the action. However, there is one prominent genre the eSport craze skipped almost entirely - <strong>Massively Multiplayer Online games</strong>.</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>How the Growth of eSports Is Setting the Scene for MMOs</h2>\n\n<p>MMOs are large-scale games where millions of players come to explore, fight and socialize together in a vast digital world. The most well-known sub-subgenre of MMO is MMORPG , which was popularized by games like World of Warcraft and RuneScape in the early 2000’s.</p>\n\n<p>Other sub-genres include the MMORTS (Real-time strategy), MMOFPS (First-person shooter), and even MMOs social games like the notorious Second Life. For the sake of keeping things relatively simple, we’ll focus on MMORPGs and touch on a few more later on.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Real Time Strategy\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2017/february/rts3.jpg\" style=\"width: 800px; height: 418px;\" title=\"Real Time Strategy\" /></p>\n\n<p>Being both multiplayer and competitive, MMOs seem to be perfect eSports titles, at least in theory. So why don’t we see more of them in the eSport scene? Well, it isn’t for lack of trying.</p>\n\n<p>WoW (World of Warcraft), arguably the world’s most famous MMORPG, came out in 2004 but didn’t have a <a href=\"/en/games/genre/pvp-games/\">PvP (player-versus-player)</a> mode until 2007, when Blizzard finally realized the potential tournaments had in drawing in new crowds. For a time WoW was indeed very popular with both viewers and competitors, but it didn’t last very long. In 2010, Major League Gaming, the largest third-party eSport tournaments authority, has removed World of Warcraft from its lineup, blaming the game’s problematic spectating software.</p>\n\n<h3>PvP to the Rescue!</h3>\n\n<p>However, people still seem to enjoy watching World of Warcraft PvP - just ask Jackson \"Bajheera\" Bliton, who won Blizzard's 2014 Best World of Warcraft PvP Streamer award. As of 2017, Bliton has over 300,000 followers and 20 million views on Twitch, a popular online streaming service.</p>\n\n<p>Note that League of Legends isn’t even the most watched video game on Twitch. According to <a href=\"https://newzoo.com/insights/rankings/top-games-twitch/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">market research by Newzoo</a>, LoL comes in in third place, surpassed by Dota 2 (another MOBA) in second and Counter-Strike: Global Defense, a competitive FPS, in first. WoW didn’t even make the top 10 list, nor did any other MMO for that matter. Bliton claims that this gap between traditional MMO and eSports games exists for one main reason: people don’t watch World of Warcraft because they are interested in the matches. Instead, they merely want to see how high-level players play so that they can improve their own game.</p>\n\n<h2>The PvP Dilemma</h2>\n\n<p>It is hard to blame viewers for not sticking around to watch somebody play an MMORPG for the fun of it. MMORPG titles are usually rather slow, and their core experience doesn’t make for a thrilling viewing experience. It’s important to remember that eSports are first and foremost spectator sports; if viewers do not enjoy watching the game play out, then the game won’t work as an eSports title, and that’s that.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Player-versus-Player\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2017/february/playerFantasy.jpg\" style=\"width: 800px; height: 450px;\" title=\"Player-versus-Player\" /></p>\n\n<p>One of the best ways to draw in eSports fans is, of course, providing engaging Player-versus-Player matches for them to watch. However, MMOs are not always built with competitive play in mind and tend to focus more on exploration, quests and more cooperative activities.</p>\n\n<p>These fall under the definition of Player-versus-Environment (PvE), where players fight against a computer-controlled enemy, or against the game itself. Since <a href=\"/en/blog/pvp-and-pve/\">PvE isn’t nearly as competitive as PvP</a> is, that’s somewhat of a problem for MMOs wishing to break into the ever-growing eSports scene.</p>\n\n<h3>PvE vs. PvP</h3>\n\n<p>Even if developers do decide to focus more on PvP to appeal to the eSports crowd, they run the risk of alienating their core player base. MMOs live and die on their content, and adding new things for players to do and experience is key to maintaining a happy, lively community. Balancing between improving the PvP and adding new PvE content is difficult, and most developers prefer to focus on the latter, especially when it comes to MMORPGs.</p>\n\n<h2>What to Do With All That Loot?</h2>\n\n<p>The lack of PvP focus isn’t the only major issue most MMO games have to deal with.</p>\n\n<p>Let’s say an MMORPG is centered on a competitive experience - there’s still the issue of loot, gear and permanent character progression. Gathering loot and XP to improve your character’s abilities and traits is a staple in every RPG, but being stronger only because of an item you possess doesn’t work in sports. Simply put - it’s unfair. In every good eSports title, being better than your opponents means having a better strategy, reflexes and skills, not having a bigger sword.</p>\n\n<p>Julianne Harty, brand manager of Blade & Soul at NCSoft, put it quite accurately:</p>\n\n<p><em>\"Any sport-related activity needs to be easy to pick up but difficult to master, and your proficiency in the sport should not be reliant upon the type of equipment that you use.”</em></p>\n\n<p>Blade and Soul is unique in the way it approaches its combat. Unlike in other MMORPG games, combat isn’t driven by statistics or loot, but by the player’s skill and reflexes, similar to online fighting games.</p>\n\n<p><em>“Being competitive [in Blade & Soul] requires skill and knowledge,\" </em>Harty continues.<em> \"It becomes entirely about the player themselves rather than the choice of class or the equipment of the character.\"</em></p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Level-up in Vikings: War of Clans\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2017/february/vikings5.jpg\" style=\"width: 800px; height: 419px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>However, this still doesn’t solve the issue of character progression, or “character level.” The higher the character’s level, the more the skills and abilities it has. This gives veteran players an immense advantage over any newcomer, effectively demolishing any hope a game has of sustaining a growing competitive community.</p>\n\n<p>On the other hand, you can’t just take a character someone invested time (and often even money) into, and reset its stats every time it goes into a PvP match. It might work with the more dynamic MOBAs, where each of the dozens of characters has predetermined abilities, but not in an MMORPG where players create their custom characters from scratch. </p>\n\n<h2>Success Outside the Realm of MMORPG</h2>\n\n<p>Up until now we mostly covered MMORPG, and although it is the most common sub-genre of MMO, it is hardly the only. Strategy MMO games, MMO shooters, and Survival titles are popular enough to warrant consideration. It comes with little surprise that these sub-genres find more success as eSports titles, mainly because they are, well… less massive.</p>\n\n<p>World of Tanks has been enjoying some success as an eSport title ever since the Wargaming League started in 2013. Its spin-off, World of Warships, seems to be doing even better after an excellent debut as a competitive title at the 2016 Wargaming League Grand Finals in Warsaw.</p>\n\n<h3>Growth of eSports within MMO Subgenres</h3>\n\n<p>Ark: Survival Evolved, an MMO survival game, launched a standalone competitive mode called Survival of the Fittest - a Multiplayer Online Survival Arena (MOSA) where players compete to be the last survivor on an island.</p>\n\n<p>While these games do have a modicum of success, both are relatively new to the eSports scene and are still not popular enough to compete in the big leagues, so to speak. Another problem is that both games sacrifice the very things that make them an MMO, mainly the “massive” part, to appeal to eSports players.</p>\n\n<h2>Keeping It Big by Keeping It Competitive</h2>\n\n<p>So can MMO games inject themselves into the eSport scene without abandoning their roots? We believe so.</p>\n\n<p>RuneScape, a Fantasy MMORPG, conducted an interesting experiment involving eSports and MMOs. The goal was to find a way for an MMO game to remain massive while still work as an eSports title. One of the ideas they came up with was what Studio Head and Product VP, Phil Mansell calls “MMORPG on fast-forward.”</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Make MMO's big\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2017/february/rules3.jpg\" style=\"width: 800px; height: 450px;\" title=\"Make MMO's big\" /></p>\n\n<p>Picture this, if you will: an MMO tournament that spans several days, where hundreds or thousands of players start from scratch on a new server. Progression rates are massively boosted so that participants can level up and develop their characters in a matter of hours instead of days. The ultimate goal is simple and very similar to the one we see in MMO eSport matches today: survive. This is the familiar concept of Last Man Standing, only on a much larger scale.</p>\n\n<p>Having so many players competing all at once is a recipe for action and drama: large battles between groups of players, heartbreaking betrayals and nail-biting showdowns. The “match” might be somewhat longer than what most eSports fans are used to, lasting a few hours each day. But with so many active players and so many different things happening, it will never be boring.</p>\n\n<h3>eSports MMOs: Connecting People</h3>\n\n<p>Viewers will also find it easier to connect with and root for their favorite players and characters, as they are with them from the very beginning of this long journey. Being there for all of an MMO player trials, victories and defeats is akin to following the career of an athlete or a sports team.</p>\n\n<h2>The Future of MMOs with the Growth of eSports</h2>\n\n<p>MMOs are already a part on the eSport scene, albeit right now it's a rather small part. There’s a lot of potential there, and we won’t be surprised if more and more MMOs will start eyeing this lucrative niche in the near future.</p>\n\n<p>MMOs don’t need eSports to stay relevant, but with free-to-play becoming the dominant payment model for most of these games, developers will be looking to eSports as a powerful marketing tool.</p>\n\n<h3>Merging MMO with the Growth of Esports</h3>\n\n<p>However, that doesn’t mean MMOs will start dying out or forgo what made them popular, to begin with. First of all, there is still a huge audience for the “classic” MMO experience, be it RPG or otherwise. Second, there are creative ways to ensure a renowned focus on competitive gameplay won’t come at the expanse of the more traditional MMO elements.</p>\n\n<p>By simplifying combat, allowing for more flexible character builds, and keeping PvP experiences massive, MMOs can bring their own twist into the eSport scene and cement their presence as a major player.</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/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><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","date":"2/16/2017"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2014/07/rise-of-samer.png"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"12851"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/that-feeling-when/"},"strings":{"title":"Behind the scenes of Throne: Kingdom at War - “That Feeling When”","category":"Plarium- Behind the Scenes","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"360000","description":"<p>Plarium recently launched a new marketing campaign for <a href=\"https://plarium.com/en/mobile-games/throne-kingdom-at-war/\">Throne: Kingdom at War</a> - its latest Massive Multiplayer Online Strategy game on mobile. The campaign, titled “That Feeling When”, stars four of the world’s leading athletes from various sports: Hockey player Alexander Ovechkin, MMA fighter Anderson “The Spider” Silva, soccer player Fernando Torres, and basketball player Tony Parker. These four superstars donned medieval armor and posed for a series of photo shoots with one goal in mind - to personify “that feeling when” you win. I’d say they nailed it.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"480\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/DIXU1ZehpWU\" width=\"853\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>Throne: Kingdom at War is the newest game from the makers of the hit mobile title Vikings: War of Clans. Where Vikings took players to the beautiful and savage Northern Kingdoms to take the role of powerful Viking Jarls, Throne casts them as city builders and warlords in an alternative take on one of mankind's darkest eras. It’s a complex and demanding game, and victory depends on constant improvement and meticulous planning. In order to get ahead and achieve victory, players must also cooperate in teams or “Orders\". Your fellow players watch your back, help you out, and coordinate with you on military actions against in-game rivals. Alliances are formed and friendships betrayed as every Lord fights to be the one true ruler the Kingdom, using both steel and strategy.</p>\n\n<p>As a deep multiplayer strategy game, Throne: Kingdom at War emphasizes strategic thinking, as well as teamwork and leadership skills. Since these are actually integral parts of being a successful athlete, \"That Feeling When\" campaign seems like the perfect fit, in both its concept and the amazing athletes chosen to represent it. To celebrate the release of the new campaign, we decided to give you peek behind the scenes at the ideas, experiences, insights and challenges we and the athletes had during production.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Tony Parker\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2017/week_1/ScreenShot2016-12-26at16.53.23.png\" style=\"width: 800px; height: 414px;\" title=\"Tony Parker\" /></p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"top\"}\" <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"top\"}\" 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/2019/10/RAD_RAID_EN_1920x1080_Serj_2018-0507_01Id5209_B74904_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSO.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2>The Idea Behind the “That Feeling When” Campaign</h2>\n\n<p>The main idea behind the “That Feeling When” campaign is to tie the emotions an athlete might have out on the field or in the ring, to the feelings Throne: Kingdom at War players experience while they’re playing the game. In other words, we wanted to show how both gamers and athletes share the same basic experiences while playing. Our game is highly competitive and requires plenty of dedication to be among the best there are, and we think that these are exactly the qualities Silva, Torres, Ovechkin and Parker represent. Emphasizing these aspects of Throne helped us bring out the defining features of our new game.</p>\n\n<p>So once this connection was established, we came up with the idea of using the popular internet meme - That Feeling When - as the means of conveying that connection. The phrase itself is both catchy and familiar, and therefore resonates with a large crowd. Beyond the obvious potential of “going viral” when using a well-known meme, or generating what we call “word of mouth”, we also believe that this combination between internet culture and sports culture is the perfect embodiment of our audience.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Throne: Kingdom at War Athletes Campaign\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2017/week_1/ScreenShot2016-12-26at16.52.35.png\" style=\"width: 800px; height: 415px;\" /></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>Athletes in a Medieval Strategy Game?</h2>\n\n<p><a href=\"https://plarium.com/en/strategy-games/\">Strategy games</a> are a similar activity to sports, in a way. It can give you the same feelings of teamwork and accomplishment. If you watch the Behind-the-scenes video we just released, you can hear the great Fernando Torres speak of how important teamwork and dedication are when it comes to soccer. The same goes for strategy games, and Throne in particular.</p>\n\n<p>To answer another aspect of the question - we choose these four particular athletes because they are some of the best in their respective sports, but also because they come from different countries and yet are known internationally. That way we can represent many different people and nations, and create something truly global and unique.</p>\n\n<p>We also know just how passionate gamers and sports fans can be, so it was really important for us to find the right people for this campaign. In the end, we made excellent choices. It was important for us to show fans that we respect our game as well as Parker, Ovechkin, Silva and Torres. It’s beyond just having celebrities as the face of the game - it’s about what they stand for.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Fernando Torres\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2017/week_1/ScreenShot2016-12-26at16.51.46.png\" style=\"width: 800px; height: 417px;\" title=\"Fernando Torres\" /></p>\n\n<h2>Working With Amazing Athletes</h2>\n\n<p>Working with such dedicated people was a lot of fun. All of them were professional and committed to the campaign as they are to everything they do. It was pretty inspiring. It was also pretty obvious they were having fun with the medieval weapons and armor. It’s easy to see they enjoy what they do, and they brought that passion to the set.</p>\n\n<p>Tony Parker particularly involved, and he kept trying on different parts of the armor and coming up with all sorts of new ideas that were both funny and helpful. It made everyone a little more comfortable to suggest their own ideas. He later admitted that he is really into strategy games, so it was very exciting for him to be a part of one.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Alexander Ovechkin\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2017/week_1/ScreenShot2016-12-26at16.51.11.png\" style=\"width: 800px; height: 405px;\" title=\"Alexander Ovechkin\" /></p>\n\n<h2>The Importance of a Brief</h2>\n\n<p>Each photo shoot was done in a different location, by a total of three different photographers, so we had to make sure they all followed the same theme. Each photo needed to look like it belong with the other, so having different people take them could have been an issue.</p>\n\n<p>Luckily, this was anticipated, and we worked hard to create a really detailed creative brief - a distilled document of all the ideas, instructions and goals for the campaign. The brief was only sent out once we were absolutely sure there was no way anyone could interrupt it in any other way than the one we intended. Basically, if you’re going to run such a global campaign, with many moving parts, it’s important to have a coherent idea that can be easily explained to others.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"In Action\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2017/week_1/ScreenShot2016-12-26at16.52.03.png\" style=\"width: 800px; height: 415px;\" title=\"In Action\" /></p>\n\n<h2>The Challenges We Faced</h2>\n\n<p>Since all four of our stars were from different countries, we had to travel between Saint Petersburg, LA, Madrid and Paris with all of our gear and props. Just imagine going through airport security with a suitcase full of medieval armor. It was… exciting to say the least.</p>\n\n<p>Once we were on location, we did encounter a few problems with the props themselves. They kept falling off, partly because the athletes moved quite a bit, but also because the armor pieces were not designed to be worn on their own, but as a part of a full set of armor. And you have to understand - these were actual pieces of armor, made from steel. They were heavy. At one point, Ovechkin was wearing a helmet that weighed around 4.5 pounds. He made it look easy, but we knew it was tough to wear it while still looking comfortable and natural in the pictures. He pulled it off, though.</p>\n\n<p>To hear what Torres, Parker, Ovechkin and Silva have to say about the “That Feeling When” campaign, strategy games, teamwork and mobile phones, watch the behind-the-scenes video at the top of the page.</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/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><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","date":"1/10/2017"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2015/05/SF_950x300_Behind_The_Scenes.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"12789"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/future-genres/"},"strings":{"title":"Future Genres & Types of MMOs","category":"MMO Games Blog","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"300000","description":"<p>As most of us know, <a href=\"/en/games/genre/mmo-games/\">MMO</a> is kind of an abstract game genre, and not something that really stands on its own.

Games like World of Warcraft, EverQuest and RuneScape are responsible for the rise of the MMO “genre”, so it’s no wonder that for so many people <a href=\"/en/blog/the-definitive-guide-to-mmo-games-intro/\">MMORPG is synonymous with MMO</a>. It’s an almost carbon copy of the <a href=\"/en/games/genre/rpg-games/\">RPG</a> experience, only some of the NPCs you see wandering around are actually other players. Sure, you can join with those other players to go on particularly different raids and dungeon runs, but that’s about it.</p>\n\n<h3>MMORTS</h3>\n\n<p>MMORTS, or <strong>Massively Multiplayer Online Real-Time <a href=\"/en/games/genre/strategy-games/\">Strategy</a></strong>, is exactly what it sounds like - the MMO version of classic strategy games like StarCraft and Age of Empires. While the basic gameplay itself is pretty similar to that of the single-player variation, the online part adds another layer of challenge, as the player needs to constantly be aware of dozens, hundreds and even thousands of other players and their moves. This amount of players leads to the creation of alliances, clans and Leagues on the one hand, and bitter rivalries on the other. Unlike with the MMORPG, in an MMORTS title, the MMO part can drastically change the experience.</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<h3>MMOFPS</h3>\n\n<p>Surprisingly enough, you don’t see a lot of <strong>MMO First-Person <a href=\"/en/games/genre/shooting-games/\">Shooters</a></strong>. There are plenty of online shooters, and some of them are pretty big and even implement some MMO elements, but proper <a href=\"/en/blog/mmofps-games/\">MMOFPS</a> titles are hard to come by. Destiny, for example, takes place in a massive persistent world, but only allows a handful of players to play together. Some would argue that the gameplay loops of online shooters are too short and repetitive to implement on a massive scale, but some games like Firefall and Planetside 2 have managed to do so with varying degrees of success.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"First Person Shooter\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2016/11/4.jpg\" style=\"width: 934px; height: 296px;\" /></p>\n\n<h3>MMO Racing</h3>\n\n<p><a href=\"/en/blog/mmo-racing-games/\">MMO racing</a> games are a relatively new creation, pioneered by games like Need for Speed World and The Crew. This subgenre is admittedly less popular than the previously mentioned ones, but it isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. Most of these games aren’t full-fledged MMOs, instead following the same pattern set my online shooters and go for the “MMO-light” experience.</p>\n\n<p>Now we get to the really fun part: hypothesizing about the future of MMO subgenres. To be more specific - coming up with new MMO subgenres and mashups.</p>\n\n<h2>Newer MMO Genres</h2>\n\n<h3>MMO Sport Games (MMOSG)</h3>\n\n<p><strong>Massively Multiplayer Online Sports Game</strong> is a game that lets players compete against each other in various team or individual sports. These MMOSG will be somewhat similar to MMORTSs in concept, with a few MMORPG elements thrown in: Players will join together in alliances, or “Teams”, to play against other Teams for Resources. Teams can then join Leagues and fight to win tournaments or major events for even bigger prizes. Now, depending on the sport, players can choose to play specific roles, or develop their character in several different attributes like speed, strength, reflexes and more. There’s not a lot of exploration or even story to find in MMOSGs, but they can be great competitive multiplayer games on a very large scale.</p>\n\n<h3>Puzzle MMOs</h3>\n\n<p>A huge group of players solving logic <a href=\"/en/games/genre/puzzle-games/\">puzzles</a> or a series of challenges together might sound like an almost impossible task, but you forget one thing - it’s already been done at least once. Remember when Twitch played Pokemon from beginning to end a couple of years ago? Literally thousands of players came together and played as one character in Pokemon Red in real-time. It was chaotic, hilarious and a bit groundbreaking, and may even pave the way for serious game developers to introduce a new genre - Puzzle MMOs. It might not be as epic and most role-playing games, but it could possibly turn out to be the most challenging video game genre in existence.</p>\n\n<h3>MMO Fighting Games</h3>\n\n<p>Multiplayer online brawlers and fighting games aren’t a completely new concept. However, we could start seeing online fighting games with much bigger scale. MMO brawlers could be something like a bigger version of Super Smash Bros, while MMO fighting games could deliver an actual <a href=\"/en/games/genre/war-games/\">war simulator</a>, where hundreds of players come together to defend against an invading army in real-time.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"MMO Fighting Games\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2016/11/47.jpg\" style=\"width: 800px; height: 296px;\" /></p>\n\n<h3>MOBA Games</h3>\n\n<p><a href=\"/en/blog/moba-games-guide/\">MOBAs</a> are pretty big right now. In case you’re new to this whole Internet thing, let me first congratulate you on finding out awesome site, and then explain a bit more. <strong>In a MOBA, or Multiplayer Online Battle Arena</strong>, two small groups of players fight across a map in an attempt to destroy each other’s base. Each player plays a character with different skills and strengths, and they work together to overcome the other team. I think that it won’t be long before someone tries to introduce the “Massively” part of MMOs into a MOBA. Instead of two teams, why not four? Why not more? Teams will have to be bigger, but we already have MOBAs with over a hundred different characters to choose from. It would also mean each match would be much more strategic, as each team now needs to worry about more than enemy. Teams could form and break alliances in the heat of battle, play more defensively and let the other teams destroy each other before unleashing a coordinated attack on the survivors, and devise many other clever strategies.</p>\n\n<p>The future of MMOs and new types of MMOs is interesting to say the least. With so many different game genres already existing today, there’s no telling where we’ll go from here!</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/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><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","date":"12/8/2016"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2016/3/blog_illustration_02.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"12738"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/friends-afk/"},"strings":{"title":"7 Things to Do While Your Friends Are AFK","category":"MMO Games Blog","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"180000","description":"<p>There are many reasons for people to step away from their computer while playing MMOs - all of which are inexcusable. There’s nothing that can justify leaving your party to wait for you while you go AFK (Away From Keyboard) to take care of your fragile mortal form.</p>\n\n<p>However, since Plarium MMO players are made from the stuff of legends, I see no reason to write a whole blog post about why you should never leave your raiding party mid-session, because I know you’d never do such a thing. Instead, here are a few things you can do while you’re stuck in place while your clanmates go AFK for the gazillionth time today.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"top\"}\" <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"top\"}\" 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/2019/10/RAD_RAID_EN_1920x1080_Serj_2018-0507_01Id5209_B74904_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSO.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2>Go AFK Yourself</h2>\n\n<p>Yeah, you have stuff to do, too! Just get up and walk away! Never look back! Give them a taste of their own medicine, and see how they like it! By the way, you’ve just started a vicious cycle that will never be broken, so you can forget about ever coming back and playing this MMO again. </p>\n\n<h2>Eat Away Your Frustration</h2>\n\n<p>Since you’re not going to get up from your chair and walk away from the computer, look around you and see if there’s something munchable within arm’s reach. We would advise against eating your laptop; it contains toxic metals and is terribly under-seasoned anyway. And besides, you’ll need it for the next tip.</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<p><img alt=\"\" src=\"https://i.postimg.cc/Yq1CWst3/Clipboard.png\" style=\"width: 300px; height: 300px; float: right;\" /></p>\n\n<h2>Play Another MMO</h2>\n\n<p>While you wait for one MMO to continue on your desktop, start up your laptop and play some other MMO. Don’t give me that “open the game in a new tab” nonsense! You need at least two different computers so you can play these online games simultaneously if the need arises. You’re not going to go AFK from your laptop once the action picks back up on your desktop, right?</p>\n\n<h2>Learn a Skill</h2>\n\n<p>Unless you are some radical MMO grandma, you probably don’t know how to knit. Now would be a great time to learn! Knitting, juggling, or making weird shapes with your tongue - learning a new skills is productive but can take a lot of time. Luckily, you’ve got plenty of that before your friend returns from the bathroom.</p>\n\n<h2>Write a Bestselling Gaming Memoir</h2>\n\n<p>You are a prolific gamer who has invested hundreds, if not thousands of hours into playing MMORPGS, online strategy games, MOBAs and even a few platformers. Share your memories and life experience with the world. Just be sure to omit the boring parts, like when you were sitting in front of your computer, waiting for people who went AFK and writing your memoirs.</p>\n\n<h2>Find Better Friends</h2>\n\n<p>Close your eyes and repeat after me (don’t actually close your eyes, because I need you to read on): “I deserve friends who don’t go AFK”. Now, while you wait for your so-called-friends to come back, whip out your phone and go prowling on every social network and app you know, and meet new people to play with. There are plenty of apps out there for players like you to “swipe right” on.</p>\n\n<h2>Complete the Raid by Yourself Like a Boss</h2>\n\n<p>Who needs a raiding party anyways? You’re the best MMORPG gamer there is! Equip your best sword/axe/staff/crossbow/book and head into the dungeon by yourself. That way you get to keep all the loot to yourself. Don’t be discouraged if you die 17 times in a row - it’s still better than sitting around doing nothing while your party members are off doing who-knows-what.</p>\n\n<p>I bet every MMO player has their own ways of dealing with annoying people who constantly go AFK, though I think the ones I provided you here will open a world of new possibilities before you. Whatever you do, don’t take this sort of abuse sitting down! Stand up for yourself! But only in the figurative sense, because your friends could be back any minute and then you’ll finally be able to go on that new raid you’ve been dying to complete.</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/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><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","date":"11/13/2016"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2016/3/blog_illustration_08.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"12687"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/speedrun/"},"strings":{"title":"Can You Speedrun MMOs?","category":"MMO Games Blog","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"180000","description":"<p>Gamers have been doing speedruns of their favorite games since the days of the original DOOM. It’s a long-honored tradition that showcases both skill and determination, and serves to differentiate the hardcore from the really super-duper hardcore.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"top\"}\" <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"top\"}\" 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/2019/10/RAD_RAID_EN_1920x1080_Serj_2018-0507_01Id5209_B74904_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSO.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2>What does speedrun mean?</h2>\n\n<p>For those not in the know, a “speedrun” is when someone plays a game with the goal of finishing it as fast as possible. While it sounds simple enough, decades of dedicated gamers have refined it to something akin to an art form. Master speedrunners know how to use bugs and exploits within the game to move faster, destroy enemies more efficiently, and even skip whole portions of the game. Every move is meticulously calculated to shave precious seconds off the game’s runtime on the way to another record.</p>\n\n<p>Now that we’re all on the same page, let’s get down to the issue at hand: Can you speedrun MMOs, and if so, should you?</p>\n\n<p>MMOs are sprawling adventures that can virtually go on and on. That fact alone seems to be enough to answer our question. How can you speedrun a game that never ends? You might be able to complete certain quests quickly, reach the level cap at lightning speed, or rocket up the leaderboards, but you will never ever stop that clock from running, as there is always more to do and accomplish. However, no one said you have to actually speedrun a game until the very end.</p>\n\n<p>If we think of it that way, then MMOs are pretty perfect for speedrunners. Instead of going through the whole thing, MMOs can be broken down into single quests, story-arcs or even certain achievements, thus transforming any one MMO into dozens of separate speedruns. Of course, it is still possible to speedrun entire MMORPGs, since most of them have some sort of main story-arc that does indeed have an end - until the next expansion is released, that is.</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>MMORTS</h2>\n\n<p>MMORTSs, or online strategy games, are a bit different. While some of them do have some sort of single-player campaign, advancing in this campaign requires a lot of effort in between missions - work that can’t be done in hours, or even days. Since these games are more about the thrill of conquest, and not a complex story-arc, speedrunners can focus on achieving specific goals in the shortest time possible. Reaching a certain level, building the perfect Castle, and maybe even ascending to an important role in their Clan. <a href=\"https://plarium.com/en/strategy-games/\">Strategy games</a> bring a whole set of new challenges for the speedrunner, since it’s not always about just being fast or knowing the ins-and-outs of the game. It’s also about knowing people, and how to work with them or outsmart them.</p>\n\n<p>Now that we know we can, in fact, speedrun MMOs, the questions is - should we? Personally, I say everyone should play the game in the way they most enjoy it. However, I still think that blazing through MMOs, especially MMORPGS, is kind of missing the point. Epic games usually come with an epic story, filled with truly breath-taking moments, so speeding through them could ruin the whole experience. However, since speedrunners usually complete multiple runs in an attempt to reach the best time possible, I guess that they could always take the first time slowly and enjoy everything the game has to offer.</p>\n\n<p>Overall, I would say that speedrunning other online games, especially online shooters or MOBAs is much more rewarding to a runner seeking to show off their skills. These game require the fast reflexes and deep knowledge of gameplay mechanics speedrunners love to boast about. However, that isn’t to say you shouldn’t try and speedrun an MMO or an online strategy game if you are looking for a different kind of challenge.</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/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><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","date":"11/3/2016"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2016/3/blog_illustration_03.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"12666"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/massive/"},"strings":{"title":"Do MMOs Have to Be Massive?","category":"MMO Games Blog","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"180000","description":"<p>Sea of Thieves by Rare is a pretty unique-looking game. It’s a game about adventuring together with friends on a pirate ship in a vast world. The catch is, you won’t encounter many other players while sailing the seas in search for treasure, mainly to help preserve that sense of exploration and discovery. There’s nothing more disheartening than following an old map to a desolate island only to find 50 other crews all digging for the same treasure. Now, this begs the question - is it still an MMO without many other players sharing the same virtual space?</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"top\"}\" 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/2019/10/RAD_RAID_EN_1920x1080_Serj_2018-0507_01Id5209_B74904_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSO.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2>Single Player MMO - is it Still Massive?</h2>\n\n<p><a href=\"/en/blog/the-definitive-guide-to-mmo-games-intro/\">MMO</a> stands for Massively Multiplayer Online, with \"Massively\" usually being the most important aspect of the genre. Classic MMOs, like World of Warcraft, have millions of players in-game at the same time, occupying the same virtual world. In other words - a massive amount of players are playing together simultaneously. Wherever you go in the game world, you’ll always find other players around you in real-time. But is the number of players all that defines an MMO? Can these games fulfil the “massive” criterion in different ways? Must they even be massive at all? Is a Single Player MMO, indeed an MMO?</p>\n\n<p>The word “Massively” doesn’t necessarily apply to the number of players, but also to the size of the world. Any huge world shared by a large amount of players can be considered an MMO (as long as it’s online, of course). You don’t have to constantly be surrounded by other players to feel like a part of a huge online community. One could argue that the mere possibility of encountering other players is enough to make you feel like you’re in a living world where other players' actions are just as important or meaningful as your own. Naturally, you still need to have a relatively large number of players in the world at any given time, but you wouldn't need to constantly see them to know they are there. </p>\n\n<h2>Are MMOs with Only a Few Players Considered Single Player MMOs?</h2>\n\n<p>There’s a recent trend of big online games where you don’t see a lot of players around you at all times. Games like Destiny and The Division are good examples of that, although MMO purists might not agree on the second one. There are even some Survival MMOs that let you encounter very few players, but these encounters are so jarring, and so unpredictable, they are more than enough to be significant. These kinds of games prove you can scale down the amount of people each player interacts with, and as long you have a rich world to explore and plenty of content to engage the player with, your MMO will be just fine.</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>The Smallest MMOs </h2>\n\n<p>What about the extremes? What if one would take \"Massively\" out of the equation altogether? Well, then the game is no longer an MMO. Let’s say you have plenty of players around you, but the game world is confined to a small set of rooms. That’s basically the situation in many competitive multiplayer <em>shooters </em>or <em>MOBAs</em>, and they are definitely not MMOs. On the other end of the spectrum, you have games with huge world, but very few other players to engage with, if any. Well, these are <em>sandbox games</em>, and there are plenty of stellar examples of single-player sandbox experiences.<br />\n <br />\nTo sum it up - you can’t really take the \"Massively\" part out of an MMO, but you can play with it a bit. You can either have tons of players adventuring together in a large open world, or you can reduce the number of players to just a few groups, and still retain the signature MMO and MMORPG experiences. MMORTS might be a whole other story, since the more enemies and allies you have, the more fun you can have. Nevertheless, one important notion: when it comes to an MMO - every letter is important.</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/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><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","date":"9/22/2016"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2016/3/blog_illustration_09.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"11598"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/mmorpg-character/"},"strings":{"title":"What Does Your MMORPG Character Say about You?","category":"MMO Games Blog","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"180000","description":"<p>There are always so many different races and backgrounds to choose a character from in an MMORPG, but for some reason we are usually drawn to very specific types of MMORPG characters.

Generic Warrior</h2>\n\n<p>If only life were as simple, straightforward, and easy to understand as playing the generic warrior class. All you need to master is the fine art of swinging your biggest pointy stick and jamming it into the fleshy parts of nearest bad guy. No muss, no fuss - that’s how you like it. It’s usually either that or you’re simply very new to the MMORPG scene and the chracters you can choose from.</p>\n\n<h2>2. Dark Warrior with Spiky Armor</h2>\n\n<p>You’re a total badass. At least that’s what you want every other player to think. This MMORPG character is basically the same as the generic warrior class, but with <em>extra flair</em> and a need to stand out among the sea of identical knights.

Sneaky Assassin</h2>\n\n<p>You might not bea horrible person, but you might also need to stop and think about what is it with stabbing unsuspecting monsters in the back that you find so appealing. Then again, it might just be that you’re the worst kind of practical joker, and you simply enjoy that whole “gotcha!” moment, especially with this very unique but popular MMORPG character.</p>\n\n<h2>4. Magic Type Person</h2>\n\n<p>There’s something about destroying monsters the size of buildings with the power of your mind that really gets you going. You tend to look down on the brawny barbarians, and laugh maniacally as you melt their skin with fire and lightning. Just like you always dreamed of doing to your high school bullies. This MMORPG character might have more significance to it than you would have imagined...</p>\n\n<h2>5. The Quiet Healer</h2>\n\n<p>Being unappreciated is better than being ignored, am I right? But is the constant cursing, swearing and other forms of verbal abuse you get worth it? They’ll never notice your hard work when everything goes right, and will always blame you when they die. But as long as they acknowledge your existence, you can take it.</p>\n\n<h2>In Summary</h2>\n\n<p>Next time you start a new <a href=\"/en/games/genre/mmo-games/\">MMO game</a>, think hard about the character you’re going to play. Or don’t, because the only thing your character of choice really says about you is that you love MMORPGs and occasionally poking random people with pointy sticks!</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/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><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","date":"6/23/2016"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2016/3/blog_illustration_04.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"11476"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/right-avatar/"},"strings":{"title":"Choosing the right MMO avatar","category":"MMO Gaming Tips","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"180000","description":"<p>Gamers are always on the lookout for the right avatars. The good news with <a href=\"/en/games/genre/mmo-games/\">MMOs</a> is that you can play virtually any type of character, with any avatar you want. You can play as any conceivable character including a dwarf, shapeshifter, troll, warlock and others. It’s entirely possible to play across gender lines with males playing with female avatars and females playing with male avatars, as roleplaying as the other gender is very common and simple to do in the most popular MMO games.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"top\"}\" 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/2019/10/RAD_RAID_EN_1920x1080_Serj_2018-0507_01Id5209_B74904_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSO.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<p>Lots of research has been conducted in the area of avatars and how players select them in games like World of Warcraft, Final Fantasy and scores of others. The avatar is essentially an idealized concept of who a player wants to be. It is also a way for players to experiment with different types of identities. Several players just use avatars as a means to an end, getting from point A to point B by assuming a character and playing accordingly. </p>\n\n<p>Players who are driven by achievement objectives tend to focus on their avatar’s equipment but players who are focused on things like immersion tend to focus on the appearance of their avatar. Identity in the virtual world is an important topic. </p>\n\n<h3>Avatars in MMO and in the Real World</h3>\n\n<p>There is a school of thought that believes that anything can be created in a virtual world and that the constraints of real life do not exist in the virtual realm. With <a href=\"/en/games/genre/mmorpg-games/\">MMORPGs</a> it’s really easy to see how the trappings of the real world, power structures and all those affiliations transfer over. </p>\n\n<p>There is a world of difference between the <a href=\"/en/blog/eastern-games-vs-western-games/\">MMOs of the East and the MMOs of the West</a>. The characters of Asian MMOs have specific character appearances, but the characters of MMORPGs have a wide degree of customization with myriad physical characteristics. </p>\n\n<p>It appears as if players in Western countries are more concerned with their appearances, but there is nothing to substantiate that. For Asian players there is a tendency to avoid character-creation systems that allow for maximum personalization of avatars, especially among higher-level players.</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>What Makes up the Demographics of Player Avatars</h2>\n\n<p>It’s interesting to note that in a recent poll of MMO players in terms of gender and age distribution, the highest percentage of female players was in the 23 – 28 age group (27.9% were female), and the highest percentage of male users was in the 18 - 22 age group at 24.2%.  </p>\n\n<p>The next highest user-group category was the 23 – 28 age range for male users at 23.5%. For the females it was 27.3% in the over 35 age group. This data was compiled from 35,000 MMORPG players via online surveys by Nick Yee. </p>\n\n<h2>What Can We Learn from MMO Avatars?</h2>\n\n<p>It’s interesting in that the demographics also paint a picture of the avatars that are selected and why they are as prolific as they are. With regards to avatars, it is evident that there are expectations that avatars are used as a reason for participating in a particular environment. For those players who are goal oriented, avatars are more likely used as tools to achieve goals.</p>\n\n<p>This also brings into question different personality types – for example introverts and extroverts. Do role-reversals take place in MMO games and are these reflected in the avatars selected by players? You bet they do, and they are!</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/how-to-download-unauthorized/?plid=147426&pxl=seo\"><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","date":"6/1/2016"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2016/3/blog_illustration_11.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"11392"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/female-avatars/"},"strings":{"title":"Female Avatars in MMOs","category":"MMO Games Blog","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"180000","description":"<p>International Women’s Day is here, and it got me thinking about <a href=\"//plarium.com/en/mmo-games/guide-for-women/\">women in MMO games</a>, or more precisely - female avatars and the people who play them. Naturally, a lot of women choose a female avatar when creating their characters. I makes sense, as they will probably relate more to a female character to a male one. However, they are not the only ones to choose to do so. A lot of men also decide to play as a female character, preferring to take the appearance of a woman in-game.</p>\n\n<p>“So what?” I hear you scoff, “people also play Elves, Orcs and Lizardfolk in MMOs, and these aren’t even human.” Well, that’s true. People play games to experience something different than real life. Maybe to some men, playing as a woman is the same as playing a Night Elf - it’s simply a way to experience what’s it like to be someone, or something, other than themselves.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"top\"}\" <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"top\"}\" 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/2019/10/RAD_RAID_EN_1920x1080_Serj_2018-0507_01Id5209_B74904_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSO.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2>Role-playing</h2>\n\n<p><a href=\"//plarium.com/en/mmo-games/\">MMOs</a> and video games in general give us the opportunity to be whatever we want, so why not take it all the way and play a gender other than the one we identify as? Seems like a reasonable assumption, right?</p>\n\n<p>However, I believe playing as a female can be more than simply “playing pretend”. It can be an interesting experience just to see how other players act around a character they perceive as a woman. It might give you some insight into how it feels to be a woman playing MMOs, or more importantly - teach you how you think female players behave.</p>\n\n<p>When men play a female character, they automatically change their behavior and try and play how they think a woman would play. More often than not, they are completely off the mark. Studies show that men move in different ways when they play a female character. They tend to jump more, stand at a distance from the rest of their party, and use way more emoticons. It’s as if they are actively trying to be noticed, which leads to another possible reason - attention.</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>Female characters stand out</h2>\n\n<p>Female characters stand out in MMOs. It may be because there are less women playing, but also because most female avatars are portrayed as sexually attractive. Some men use female characters to ensure they will always find a group to play with, or to make sure there voice is heard. There’s also a myth about players being nicer to, and less likely to attack, players with female avatars, so that’s another reason why men might consider using one.</p>\n\n<p>Weirdly enough, women don’t often play male characters when given the choice. The percentage of female gamers playing a male character is much smaller than that of male gamers playing as females. I wonder why that is? Do they feel more comfortable with their gender and sexuality than men? Do they not feel the need to try and be someone else, just for a little bit?</p>\n\n<p>Whichever the case may be, it seems that most women and even some men agree - it's simply more fun to play MMOs as a woman.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"bottom\"}\"
