Microsoft, Ubisoft, and Blizzard-like companies all jumped into the new gaming genre trend to pull in the big bucks and created many games, some of which will be in this article. So when did MMORPG become truly famous in the internet era? In the 20s, games like RuneScape, EverQuest 2, etc., took the market by storm and kept pulling in fans from all over the globe. In 1997 Richard Garriott coined the name MMORPG, and he created a game for the genre named Ultima Online. This is where MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online) gaming comes in, which previously was very successful in the community of gamers back in the 80s. Now RPGs didn’t have the capability or mechanics to support online playing or multiple players. The concept of Role Playing Games is simple the player controls one or more characters that are a part of the story of the game.

MMORPGs most impacted gaming history more than any other and are still doing now.
