By definition…
• Quoted from the wikipedia:A Massively Multiplayer Online
Game (MMOG or MMO) is a type of computer game that
enables hundreds or thousands of players to simultaneously
interact in a game world that they are connected to via the
Internet. Typically this kind of game is played in an online,
multiplayer-only persistent world.
