From Encyclopedia Dramatica

MMORPG is an acronym for Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Life Consuming Game. This can also be referred to as Massive Mega Online Raping Pokemanz Gurofest or in more accurate terms: Many Males Online Role Playing Girls. An MMORPG is an unpaid, expensive, hard, boring, tiring and drama-generating job. The whole sense of MMORPG is that you pay to become fat and to keep your virginity. MMORPG's are also unique in that they are the only known method of living your own life vicariously. Which is pathetic. And more than a little bit sad. Actually, it's very, very, very sad. Sadder than Richard Simmons, even.

MMORPGs are a sinister Communist plot. They enthrall people to the point where they don't bother to shower, shave, sleep, eat, drink, get up to go to the bathroom, or take care of their children. This must be communist magick because the gameplay of every MMORPG goes as follows: Do something. Do the same thing again. Keep doing it 9 hours a day every day for the rest of your life. MMORPGs are like having a job except you pay for it instead of making money. EverQuest, for example, is called "EverCrack" in an unfunny attempt at fanboy humor, but few know that the game is actually in fact laced with crack.

People actually fucking sell magic items from MMORPGs on eBay, thus unintentionally making a brilliant satire of capitalism. MMORPGs also have their own mafias, the members of which are obviously all azns Japanophiles who don't know all MMORPG's are made in Korea.

Massively Multiplayer Online Transgender Simulation

A lot of male humans IRL seem to enjoy playing a female character on MMORPGs. To most people this would be a sign of being queer or something similar, but when confronting a player who does this, they'll usually counter with something along the lines of; "I don't wanna sit around watching a guys ass move all day" or "I just want sum eyecandy". Is this really a desire for some softcore porn? Or is it a cry for a sex change? Do you ever hear of girls playing as guys on MMORPGs? As a matter of fact, have you ever heard of a girl playing as any kind of character on a MMORPG? Only the morbidly obese, and underage emos.

The alternative is that the player has a god complex -- usually evident to the player -- which causes them to create characters that act as a controlled underling rather than a digital version of the player. This likely comes from failing at real life, so someone will pay, even if that person is their own creation within someone else's creation.

The ONE Good Thing About Them IRL

MMORPG's are total motherfucking shit. EVERYONE knows THAT. However, one theory states that "the moar you win at an MMORPG, the moar you fail at life."

So, this basically means that all those fat-ass basement-dwellers living with their parents will spend OVER 9000 consecutive hours on their comps, eventually resulting in their death. This happens over 9000 times in China, where the only difference between an American MMORPG player and a Chinese one, is that the Chinese one actually gets out of the house and goes to die at a cybercafe. This has happened many a time. The azn sits himself down at a comp and STAYS THERE for OVER 9000 FUCKING HOURS until he dies of many a cause: dehydration, starvation, doesn't take a shit/piss, exhaustion, or the very fun ALL OF THE ABOVE.

Some of them make it though. They have a heart attack or faint or something and get rushed to a hospital. If they were really hardcore, then they'd commit an hero and screw everyone over at the cafe.

The less funny opposite to the theory is of course: "the moar you fail in an MMORPG, the moar normal you are IRL."

• Asheron's Call 2 - Game over, man.

• EVE Online - Space screensaver MMO by some basement guy in Iceland. Libertarians enjoy this game a lot.
• EverQuest - Ancient. Responsible for spawning almost everything else. Shawn Woolley killed himself over this shitty game. EQ also involves a lot of jumjum and COGS.
• EverQuest II - More like WoW than the first EQ game, and used to have a pizza-ordering system. In this game you can be a pink frog with angel wings that defeats a belly-dancing lich goddess of undeath. More COGS.
• Fallen Earth - Sandbox game with Second Life-esque characters. It's EVE on land after the apocalypse.
• Fiesta - MMO filled with childlike characters, perfect for pedophiles, complete with in-game marriages.

• Mabinogi - Another shit-tacular game from the guys who publish Maple Story. You can't get anywhere without spending money, so it is predominately played by spoiled rich kids who whine about everything.

• RF Online - Offline.
• Risk Your Life Series - More repetitive than a MMORPG could ever get!

• Runescape - Predominantly homosexual, 100% 12 year-olds.
• Sakra - Lame gangster shit.
• Silkroad Online - More like Botroad Online, the only way to own in this pissy shit oriental game is to bot, and pay some shitty e-ticket to bypass their overcrowded servers.

• Wiki Online: Age of Buttsex - Try to get to the endgame and you win the Internet!
• Wizard101 - Harry Potter the MMO! Also for kids.
• World of Warcraft - Current cause of 63% of waste of life. Will not be "killed" by your faggy fanboy MMORPG anytime soon, so stop hyping it up, fag. This has the worst community of any game ever.
• World War Two Online - Computer virus designed to lure in closet Nazis and pedophiles.
• Vanguard: Saga of Heroes - Originally flopped but somehow was fixed up. This is because a druggie called Brad McQuaid originally designed the game.
• MMORPG in Sherwood Forest!!!!

Kind-of MMORPGs

• Endless Online - Game with a poor economy.
• eBay - Grind to get items quicker than anyone else!
• Dungeon Fighter Online - Battletoads the MMORPG!
• Furcadia - Okay, not really MMORPG, but it is the closest furries have to a yiff MMO. The main gameplay is finding a 12 year old boy to cyber with, which thus increases your reputation power.
• Gaia Online - Now has its own shitty flash-based lagfest of a MMO.
• Graal - Basically Zelda made into a MMO, but it's really bad.

• Kingdom of Loathing - Browser-based game with stick figures.
• Pangya - Golf for XP!
• Progress Quest - Plays the game for you, just like a real MMORPG!
• Subspace/Continuum - Asteroids, the MMO.
• Tibia - German Ultima IX rip-off.
• Whirled - Like Gaia Online, only shittier.
• Wikipedia - Probably the first textbased MMORPG

Calling any of the above a "MMORPG" will bring forth rage from the diehard MMO players.

Developers

• Aventurine - The Norwegian/Greek developers of Duke Nukem Forever- I mean, Darkfall. They promised beta signups and release dates year after year... and somehow, they actually released the game.
• Blizzard Entertainment - With WoW being the current most-played MMORPG, Blizzard is able to build toilets made out of gold and shower in water imported from pristine uncharted tropical islands. Rumor has it that the WoW servers are adorned with diamonds.
• CCP - Icelandic jerks who cheat in their own game and display awesome pictures for their audiences to see!
• Cryptic - Who?
• FunCom - A bunch of Norwegians who always break shit repeatedly and keep wrecking Age of Conan over and over. They also litter Anarchy Online with ads for Faygo or something.
• Jagex - The faggots behind RuneScape. Enough said, right?
• NCSoft - Korean-based developers that will DELETE FUCKING EVERYTHING once one of their games' subscriber numbers drop below 100,000. See Tabula Rasa.
• NPCube - Some French fucks that got in trouble over Dark and Light. Non non rien n'a changé. They were dismissed and convicted by French court.
• Sigil - Founded and ditched by Brad McQuaid. Their flagship MMORPG, Vanguard, originally failed because the lead designed spent about 15 minutes working on the game, and the rest to do opium. Now absorbed by SOE.
• Sony Online Entertainment - Trolls the MMORPG community repeatedly and does an A Plus job at this. If they dare even breathe on one of their games, the players shit themselves. Somehow they fixed Vanguard after they fucked up SWG. They really like Rick Astley and use this meme over and over and over and over-
• Square-Enix - In the MMORPG world, they are mostly known for the Pandemonium Warden in FFXI - a monster that took over 18 consecutive hours to beat. Grats to them for trolling FFXIfags! They are probably the most patient humans to ever exist, ever.
