Titans of Time

We are bombarded daily about how video games hurt us. But can a Browser MMORPG actually be good for you? The answer is yes, and this is no fly-by-night answer either. Colleges, Universities, as well as private organizations and companies have spent millions on studies to find both the pro’s and con’s of playing video games.

For example; Popcap, one of the free online game kings, shelled out over $23,000 dollars in a study to see if video games can improve your mood. Yes it can. The subjects showed increased levels of dopeamine during game-play. Dopamine is believed to play an important role in many functions of the brain, including mood, voluntary movement, and learning.

Another example; since the Browser MMORPG requires interaction with other players, it requires empathy, the ability to understand another’s feelings. If you’re fighting an opponent, you generally have to predict their next move. If you’re working with an ally, you will have to know their next move to maximize your own. It makes perfect sense.

When I play a Browser MMORPG, I expect a few puzzles here and there. For this reason, video games have been proven to improve cognitive health. In various studies people in their 60′s and 70′s showed better short-term memory and parents noticed their children’s problem-solving skills had increased.

There are many more examples, but my time is short. Keep playing; it’s for your health!

Ok, so here’s the deal, for the purpose of this article you need to understand that MMORPG stands for Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game. I figured most of you knew what it meant already for the simple fact that you are here reading this, but I had to make sure just in case. =D

I wasn’t always a Browser Based MMORPG gamer. Point of fact, I wasn’t always a gamer period. Thank god I waited until after high school to really play, I would have never known what a social life was. But that’s getting off topic. I can remember my frist MMORPG ever, what fun!  Come on, you remember how stoked you were the first millisecond that download was done and you logged in to create your very first character, how awesome!

Now, I was lucky. I was a newbie in a game that was a newbie itself, so NO ONE had a clue what they were doing unless they, A. were able to check out the Beta version of this particular game; or more likely, B. they played a Browser Based MMORPG or some other MMORPG of some kind previously, giving them a general (and I use the term general loosely) idea of how these things work.

Anyway, since everyone was learning together we helped one another. If you asked a question, you would actually get an answer, or at the very least the respect of an answer of some kind.

Well, I took a bit of time of a recently logged back on to check things out, and it was awful. There was very little trading going on in the channel labeled “Trade,” and when someone clearley new to the game asked a question they would get teased and harassed for being a newbie. Now that’s not fun! I guess those people forgot that at one point or another, they didn’t know the answer to that question either. It’s frustrating. And then when 3 weeks later, when I see the same person complaining about not being able to fill a spot in their group for a quest, I will remind them that maybe that “newbie” could have been able to help had they had their question answered instead of Mr. “I’m-Better-Than-You” stroking his ego.

I guess what I am trying to say here, is no matter if you play A Browser Based MMORPG, or any other game for that matter please respect your fellow player. You never know when they can become a valuable ally in the future.

Let me just say this right now, the answer is yes. A Free MMORPG Without Downloading Is right for you. How do I know this? Because you are most likely one of these things. A: Alive, B: Breathing, C: Human. And if so much as one of the previous options applies, congratulations, the answer is yes.

Now that my whole article is blown, let’s get down to the nitty gritty of the whole thing.  First of all, any person alive likes the word FREE. Guess what? It DOES appear in FREE MMORPG Without Downloading. Fantastic, I think I can halt the explanation there on that one.

Second, most people, myself included, don’t have the time to sit around and wait for a game to download. I mean, let’s face it, when I want to play, I want to play. I don’t want to have to wait to download the game, patch it, load it up, and all that sort of bull. I want what I want, when I want it, that’s the way it’s going to be. And… big suprise here… that is ALSO in the title of the subject at hand; Free MMORPG WITHOUT DOWNLOADING!

So in summary; thank you oh wonderful video game gods for giving us this gift. This amazing gift of a genre of games that give the impatient, new-generation of gamer the chance to finally feel content. For those of you out there that are with me; Free MMORPG Without Downloading, in a world of downloads and money, thank you for being there when we need you the most.

One of the most frustrating things in any RPG is combat balance. There is nothing more frustrating then knowing for a fact that you are at the top of your class, or role, or whatever, and that you cant kill a certain something.

Whether it be a Free Browser RPG, or an RPG with 1874687346120 players, it doesn’t matter. If your character, (toon,) has absolutely no equivalent chance, there is no point in playing.

There was a time, in the early days of the MMORPG I used to play, where my healing class wasn’t as good as another.  I can remember one fight where my role was as follows; “Don’t move, don’t heal, don’t do anything unless the other healers are dying. If you get the enemy’s attention you will die and they wont. That’s the goal.” Really? What fun is that? I know in this particular case it’s probably for the best, but why does it have to be that way?

Let me explain. When all character options are 100% balanced the game won’t be as fun. If all classes could do the same stuff, where would the  challenge be? If every fight were predictable in a Free Browser RPG, or any other, why bother?

What gives toon’s their allure is what they can offer that others can’t. My point it, choose what fits you. Every person has a play style, a way their mind thinks. If you find yours, any Free Browser RPG will be not only fun, but a gateway of learning to the entire RPG world!

Technology sure has come a heck of a long way since I was a kid. Thinking back on it, the first video game I ever played I am pretty sure was Pitfall on the ColecoVision. I home some of you still remember that goofy vertically-rectangular controller, with the numerical pad and the knob at the top. And with the coiled up cord, it pretty much looked like a telephone receiver. Oh, and when I got my first Game Boy, holy crap that was the best day ever. I could play Mario… anywhere?! Awesome, let’s be  honest here, who doesn’t like to having the option to game anywhere, anytime?!

Well, in the last 20 years or so, the browser video game, including the Browser RPG, has progressed like wildfire and has created a whole industry itself. What’s so alluring you ask? First off, portability. With the technology these days, cellphones, ipads, laptops and pretty much a computer wherever you go, you can access your game anywhere you have an internet connection. And to be honest, with entire cities going WiFi, it’s not that hard to find one.

Secondly, most can be played with other players. Growing up, video games were more fun with friends, browser games are no exception. Take the Browser RPG for example; most require you to party with other players. I know I like to play with my friends, but with my schedule, sometimes I can’t. So while they work,  we do some PvP and what-have-you. I know, terrible.

In the end, if you were thinking a Browser RPG, or any browser game for that matter, wasn’t the thing for you, think again. If you like having fun with friends, taking a break from a hard work day, or need a study time-out, they are definitely the release you need!

MMORPG; what does it stand for? Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game.  Now, when you play these games, RPG’s that is, whether it is a Browser MMORPG, Console, or PC based, they are all  time consuming. Life is time consuming, you are role-playing  real life.  Now that we have the RPG part down, in order to put the two M’s and the O in MMORPG, you have be online playing with other people, correct? Now to the point…

Lets say that you begin a dungeon run that requires a healer, a tank and some sort of high damage dealer. After some time, you find a priest who can heal your whole party, awesome. You are now halfway through the “Temple of Doom”  or whatever it is called, that much closer to the end where you have a chance of winning your staff of amazingness or whatever and all of a sudden….no priest. This causes you to either sit around and atempt to recruit a replacement or your party will simply disband, basically wasting your time. Browser MMORPG or major release title, this sucks.

It all comes down to a player-to-player respect thing. I understand that you  want to do that temple or dungeon, I get it, I’ve been there. I understand you may need only one item, or boss and you have other in-game things you could be doing. Trust me, I’ve been there too. But seriously, it’s no reason to screw over people who may have busy lives who have set aside the appropriate amount of time to complete the task at hand.

Since these games require cooperative play, it pays to be, well, nice.  So please, whether it be a Browser MMORPG, or whatever kind of RPG you may be playing, have a little respect, and make a commitment to your group and stay for the dungeons duration!

Ok, my fellow vidiots out there, (for those that aren’t in the loop, that’s video-idiot,) have you ever QQ’ed about a  Browser Based MMORPG, or even any online game where something  that worked perfectly fine, was all-of-a-sudden busted after a patch? Or how about this; have you ever given an admin an earfull because you couldn’t get what you needed to finish that dungeon right then and there?

One must consider the amount of time it takes to overcome the many limitations of web based programs. One thing I’ve learned is that the human brain detects that something is just a little off with 2d or 3d Browser Based MMORPG games. The reason for this is that they are close to a desktop game but not quite their since the latency of a web server can be significant and web based programming languages were not designed to run such games, they were designed to display websites. This causes some one to focus in on these imperfections.

Don’t get me wrong,  I encourage such boundary stretching.  I do so with my own games. One thing is that your average online game player will not be aware of these limitations that web based game programmers face. Soon however this will not be an issue as new technology is narrowing the gap between web based games and client based game.

I have had an interesting opportunity for the last couple years. I was able to witness a Browser Based MMORPG go from infancy, to one of the best 2D games i’ve played. I’ve even gotten the opportunity to help with it both creatively and technically. And let me tell you, it’s no easy task. There are always things that can be unforeseen. Thankfully, dedicated creators and staff are there to scramble the moment something goes awry.

I’ll admit it, I wasn’t  born a gamer.  When my mother found out she was having a daughter it was all Barbie dolls and dress-up.  I didn’t discover my love of video games, until 8 or 9;  RPGs, and Browser RPG‘s came much later.

I often wonder, if I had discovered PC games much earlier, would my inner gamer have come out before I was 16 lol.

Now, a big argument in the RPG world is the amount you have to spend to play, but that’s changed.  Now, console games have downloadable maps, items and other neat little things available for a fee. The Browser RPG is no different. You can usually play for next to nothing, but if you want the extra edge, fork out the extra cash, and BAM… your opponent is done, so it’s definitely worth it.

Granted, newer console are capable of browsing the web, they cannot do it quite as gracefully as a PC.  I’ve seen sites as popular as pandora.com crash on a PS3, but whatever. There are so many games available for free online, it’s crazy. Just search on Google for free games or something more specific like free Browser RPG and thousands of games will be at your disposal. In addition to that, the keyboard mouse game control combo in my opinion trumps all other setups. The precision for me at least is un-matched.

Browser RPG‘s have reminded us that you don’t need to sell a kidney to play a fun game. Just invest a little time, and maybe a little cash, and you can have a fantastic time.
