Taking Advantage Of The Social Design Of A Space MMO

By Pauline S. Schamberger


One-player games are designed quite differently from modern Space MMO games, which are also called massively multiplayer online games. You are obligated to interact with and work along with hundreds of other players who are in the identical game world as you instead of trying to confront each challenge with just your own character. This is done thanks to the way in which these games are hosted on the Internet; when you begin playing the game, you are actually logging in to a large online server which other players are also logged in to. The social features of these games are critical, so you cannot act as if you were playing a single player game and still hope to advance through the online game's challenges.

You are often required to choose which team, faction, or group you will belong to when first getting started with a space MMO game. Each game is different due to the fact that some only have two or three factions while others ask you to choose from several; remember that this decision will control who your character can team up with in the future. One common MMO game design is to establish two warring groups and ask you to choose which you will belong to, thus establishing permanently which side is the enemy throughout the game.

If you are stuck in your game or just need some help in order to make it through a multiplayer mission, you can call on the help of your space MMO allies who are available to team up with you. One of the easiest ways to request assistance from other players is to use the game's automatic chat system and simply request to form a group with them; if they are in the same area as your character, chances are they are working on the same mission. Pay attention to the players that have been your finest allies so that you can continue to support one another on group missions in the future.

There are benefits to getting social beyond just overcoming your enemies; your allies can also trade items with you and help you level up certain skills. The principle game will probably consist of battles and item gathering, but there are a lot of fun things to do in the social elements of the game that you will enjoy if you take the time to do them.

Space MMO games have forever altered the way that players interact with each other in what were one just one-player adventures. Remember to be an excellent team player and to chat with other players regularly as you take full advantage of all of social features of your favorite online game.
