Ways In Which Players Can Link On A Spaceship Game

By Erick H. Hane


If you would like to play a spaceship game online that will offer a lot of fun challenges, you should be happy to know that there are many options. An increasing range of MMORPG's, or massively multiplayer online role playing games, are emerging onto the market with science fiction themes and fun space based battles. The system architecture that developers have used to create these complex games goes far beyond the more basic programs that are used in traditional RPG's on classic gaming consoles, especially in regards to the Internet. What are some of the ways in which the Internet is used to manage such large online gaming communities?

Any spaceship game that is made as an MMORPG is based on a client-server system that allows individual gamers to log on to the game's main server. The world of an MMORPG is constantly in flux and evolving, much like the real world around you; this is possible because the official game server never shuts down and is always managing an instance of the game for players to access. Certain companies sell the client software and also enforce a monthly fee for gamers to stay connected to the servers which need to be constantly monitored and maintained; other games are free to play and run directly on a Web browser.

A spaceship game can only be massively multiplayer if it allows massive access to its game server and also allows players to interact within the game. Your PC is running a client program, but the game itself is really on the game studio's servers; you and all the other players are just logging on to the game. All game interactions, from working together on a quest to chatting through a voice chat program, is managed through the server you and other players are connected to.

Browser based RPG's used to be considered to be simple and rather poor graphically, but that is changing as designers take advantage of new technology. Another nice advantage is that they are less costly or even totally free in some cases and require much less bandwidth to play.

You can spend hour after hour exploring the world of your favorite spaceship game and develop an excellent character that you can be proud of. The special design of these kinds of games enables you to play from home but find yourself in a massive world filled with thousands of other gamers just like yourself.
