Massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMPORGs)

• MUDs evolved naturally into Massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMPORGs)
• As computation cycles increased, graphics were introduced, and then got markedly better.
• The internet also supported this allowing radically improved communication.
• These games have run on consoles and on PCs.
• One of the client server issues is how much processing to distribute to the client.
• With a thick client (like a console or a PC), its relatively easy to send commands, and have the client do the scene generation. This considerably reduces communication bandwidth.
• There is absolutely no reason you can't make one of these yourself; I'll consider it as a future final coursework.
• More and more MMPORGs are allowing player-created content.
