How An Online Spaceship Game Works

By Gordon R. Caters


In recent years a large numbers of spaceship game options have become available to gamers who want to enjoy a science fiction based game online. Specifically, the category of MMORPG's, or massively multiplayer role playing games, has embraced the sci-fi genre despite the fact that it was once known just for fantasy games. The popular genre of role playing games, or RPG's, functions as the core building block upon which the more advanced system architecture of MMORPG's are established; they rely on the Internet to keep the game running. What are some of the ways in which the Internet is used to manage such large online gaming communities?

In order to begin playing a spaceship game that functions as an MMORPG you will have to gain access to the game's server. The world of an MMORPG is constantly changing and evolving, just like the real world around you; this is possible because the official game server never shuts down and is always managing an instance of the game for players to access. Although the grand majority of such games require you to pay a monthly fee for access to the server, not all companies are using this model and some even offer free Internet browser based games that do not need additional software to run.

The massively multiplayer aspect of your spaceship game will get into focus better if you realize that you and all other players are really logged into the same game together. A console game runs directly from your console to your TV, but MMORPG's are very different; they are run on the game's server and you just log on whenever you want to play. This creates a totally interactive experience and also makes it possible for you to chat, both with text and voice, while you are playing on the same server.

Even though paid MMORPG's tend to feature more expansive game play, many modern browser based games are gaining ground on them in regards to graphics and game play. Another great advantage is that they are less expensive or even totally free in some cases and require much less bandwidth to play.

A spaceship game designed to be played online with other gamers can offer you countless hours of fun in a beautifully crafted virtual world. Thanks to the complicated design of their server technology you can log on whenever you want and find hundreds of other gamers to interact with.
