Most of us might wonder right now why a lot of computer shops exist as compared to the past decades. Moreover, internet connection is now proven to be a necessity to a lot of individuals for different purposes. Aside from the informative purposes of the internet utilized by a lot of researchers as well as by individuals to express their ideas and other purposes, the increase on the demand of the internet is further reinforced by none other by gamers. What started as online games based on building networks among users through the internet, became online games that now evolved into more sophisticated and complex games.
From the year 2000, the games developed from simple games to virtual societies. The MMORPGs (Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games) were then popularized. Games such as Ragnarok online and MU online provided gamers the "freedom and power" to choose their character, choose what their character specializes in (e.g. in Ragnarok online, one could choose to be a merchant, blacksmith, swordsman, mage, acolyte etc.), customize their avatar and many more. These games have scenic backgrounds from the towns, deserts, forests, underwater, hellish dungeons etc. These games also have their own currency varying from gold, rupiah, coins, zen, zenny etc. which are used to buy weapons, armours, potions, and scrolls depending on the economics and currency of the game. The games’ genres and themes may vary but in most online games, you need to create a character in which you would choose a certain race with certain history and specialization. A player must then customize their character’s appearance (hairstyle, facial features, skin tone, height, length, etc.).
With these kinds of features, the number of online gamers still increases up to date, even being popular among children as well. The software distribution of these games also varies among places. Also, such games also come in CD installers that make software installation faster and easier. Interested gamers or even those who just wants to have online games as their past time may also download the installers from the internet through direct downloads provided in the respective homepage of the different online games or through torrent downloads. All the gamers have to do is to choose the type of game that suits them and play! Online gaming, however like any other activities, should be done in moderation. Also, children should be supervised if necessary.
