As soon as gaming took a step over peer-based systems, the experience have totally change the very foundations and "Musts"- Lists in gaming. MMO (massively multiplayer online) games have truly place the last nail in the coffin to complete the immersive experience that every gamer wants - putting up the live community to play and share the game with. In return, the network of players you get to play with imparts a more enjoyable world that is seemingly given much depth, and reality into it: A whole lot more immersive.

To start it all up with, we have been introduced with online games in the recent years. Games including Ragnarok Online, Khan, RF Online, MU Online, have pioneered online gaming, and have seen the golden years of it too. People have swarmed over the online games that provided something new and innovative at the time. Hence, even animation series conceptualized their plots to them as people dig in onto anything that relates to this “new” trend thing in games.

Loosely tied with RPGs, MMO games of the prior years (of its development) mainly attracted people by putting them in the shoes of a classic hero – tied into great destiny to save the world. The formula was perfect and consolidated by the fact that people get to mold their own character depending on how they wanted to, and clutter up the online world with other players. Community is built within it and there is some form of economy. People gathered loots, sold them for resources, and the structure of merchants and buyers strengthen the community that tied up progress in the game as it ages.

As the gaming community adapt to this new structure of peer-based gaming (which was originally pioneered by land games like Counter-Strike, Starcraft, Red-Alert, etc.), lots of renditions and game variations have been introduced and merged with the MMO concept. This includes today’s list of MOBA games (massive online battle arenas), community virtual games, browser-based games (introduced by the Farmville hype), and the different game genres plausibly merged into a communal environment.

MOBAs was popularized by DoTA (Defense of the Ancients), a game loosely based on the characters of warcraft – pitted down on a battle arena with multiple players playing at a single time. The same efforts are found in the popular game LoL (League of Legends), and have further advanced the infrastructure of the game by putting up an online listing of battles to attend to. Nowadays, there are countless of released MOBA titles that you may enjoy playing. Many of which have tons of other eager players to get you matched up with and compete.

Simpler and more laid back type of games introduced over browser based games also become pretty popular to the average and casual gamer. The hype of Farmville created the great leap of MMOs over the tasks of cooperative gaming in Farming, Restaurant Managing, City Building, and the lot of other well known activities and festivities happening in the social network. People enjoyed interacting with other people by the means of interesting new games that offer peer-based gaming and a live community to play with.

MMOs have continued to grow through the years. Arcade games like TCGs (trading card games) also show great promise as they get ported over the social network as peer-based games. Monster breeding games similar to console games like Pokemon have also been seeing light over the recent years in online titles.

The list just keep on growing - as people take on these games that offer social interaction with players around the globe, providing a great place to be with as they enjoy playing.
