A MMORPG stands for the expression "Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game." As the name indicates, MMORPGs are online games in which users from all over the world interact in a closed online environment through a particular avatar to complete particular tasks. Because a large number of people participate in MMORPGs, a virtual "world" is derived from the interactions of the users, which usually occur through chatting on the screen and . As a result, in most MMORPGs, users not only have tasks to complete, but also can participate in virtual socializing and business-dealing. Some popular MMORPGs include RuneScape and World of Warcraft, which draw millions of users daily. Some researchers have criticized the addictive nature of such games, as they cause users to be detached from the real world.
