How to Be an Ace MMORPG Player - By: Allan Michael Taylor

Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games (MMORPG) is the genre of choice for most gamers these days. These types of online strategy games beat turn-based strategy games, especially for those players who want to dominate the game in their own pace, and who want to interact with other players real-time. If you are looking at playing any MMORPG, be it one of those free online strategy games or those that you need to pay for such as World of Warcraft, you need to be ready to exist and work in groups, or at least interact with the other players.

When it comes to interacting with fellow online strategy games players, you need to remember certain important codes of conduct. In a nutshell, these codes of conduct are all about playing well and in a nice respectable manner. For example, one of the main attractions of war strategy games like World of Warcraft is that it makes it possible to meet other players of different strategies and personalities. While this makes the game more exciting, it also serves as a potential cause for conflict.

The first thing that you should remember when talking to other players is to never type in upper case letters. The rule is the same as when you are sending an SMS or writing an email. Typing in upper case is similar to shouting at the person you are interacting with. You should also remember, as a general rule, to avoid making insulting or hurtful statements to players, especially those that you have just met. Don't forget that there is another person at the end of the avatar that you are interacting to.

Now let us move on to forming your groups. Sometimes, in the course of playing an MMORPG, you will be faced with a task that is impossible to complete alone. For this, you will need to band with other players and form a group. Playing in groups to finish tasks is a faster and easier way to level up. However, to stay in a group, you have to make playing with you an enjoyable and rewarding experience for your group mates.

There is an unwritten rule on forming groups in MMORPGs: never invite someone that you do not know to join a group. This is like asking a stranger to go out with you, which is just not ethical. Before inviting someone, make sure you two have had enough talk time and are comfortable with each other. In case the player you invite begs off, take the rejection lightly. Do not resort to bitter tactics because word does get around in the gaming circles.

Finally, one other important concern when it comes to forming groups is how to divide the loot that you collect. In case of spoils, don't demand to keep everything, including those that you don't actually need. Keep in mind the other players who did their bit to help you complete the task. For example, if a team member needs an item that is available, let him have it, especially if it something that you won't find any need for. To be safe, you can suggest to agree on a way of dividing the loot before setting out to tackle the task.
