How An Internet Based Spaceship Game Functions

By Erick H. Hane


If you want 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. Specifically, the category of MMORPG's, or massively multiplayer role playing games, has embraced the sci-fi genre despite the fact that it was once known just for fantasy games. The popular genre of role playing games, or RPG's, serves as the basic building block upon which the more advanced system architecture of MMORPG's are established; they rely on the Internet to keep the game running. What are some of the methods game designers use to create a believable, immersive gaming environment online?

In an effort to begin playing a spaceship game that functions as an MMORPG you will have to gain access to the game's 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. The client software you need to access the game from your computer is often sold and then a monthly charge is imposed to pay for the maintenance of the servers; a growing number of free games are also being developed and can be run directly in a Web browser.

The massively multiplayer aspect of your spaceship game will get into focus better if you realize that you and all other players are really logged into the same game together. Your PC is supporting 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.

While many paid MMORPG's tend to provide more content and better graphics, there are many browser based games that are gaining considerable popularity. The majority of these games are free for users, though they may contain purchasable premium content or in-game advertisements.

You can spend many hours exploring the world of your favorite spaceship game and develop an excellent character that you can be proud of. Thanks to the complicated design of their server systems you can log on whenever you want and find hundreds of other gamers to interact with.
