Developing Your Space MMORPG Character

By Alicia Z. Thomson


Many video game makers are now giving attention to the space MMORPG market; that term refers to massively multiplayer online role playing games that are hosted online and played by people around the world. While MMORPG's are unique in many ways, they also share some traits with traditional role playing games, or RPG's. For example, their online base and the fact that there are massively multiplayer adds a social element to the game that you cannot find in one-player console RPG. All RPG's do feature progressive characters and plot lines, however, that help you develop a strong character whose abilities have improved considerably over time.

Space MMORPG games typically Provide players a variety of character classes to choose from and ask that you do so early in the game since it will determine much of your character's progress and abilities. To some extent, the character class that you choose will influence the way in which they can progress, especially in regards to how quickly they can use specific skills. Supportive character classes are fantastic for setting up groups with other players but are not often strong when fighting alone; offensive classes, on the other hand, are strong but need support to take on many enemies.

Nearly all space MMORPG games feature a leveling system that sets a numeric level to your character's current progress and increases as they gain experience. This experience can be gained in several ways, such as defeating enemies, completing quests and other challenges, collecting specific items, and working together with other players in groups. While not every new level will bring massive changes in your character's skill set, you will notice improved stats and more abilities as you progress through the game.

Despite the fact that your character's level is a critical part of the game's progression, there are other ways for you to boost your character's skills. For instance, lots of games feature additional challenges and tasks that will not give you experience points but contribute to improving your character's items, weapons, and equipment.

The world of space MMORPG games is constantly evolving, with new challenges to overcome and new in-game features being added on a daily basis. Creating a powerful character and getting them to a high level takes time and will also teach you how to work together with other players as you overcome enemies and win battles together.
