Online RPGs are Not Just a Fantasy Market

When you think of the online rpg, or any rpg for that matter, you think tend to think of the big name games–all of which are tied together by one crucial component. It’s a crucial component. It has, in fact, had a lot to do with these games audience draw as well as their success. What it is? Their setting, of course. No matter what world you are playing in, when you are playing in an rpg setting, you are playing in a fantastic world of swords and sorcery. Up until recently, the fantasy rpg has been the only game in town and it has been a truly enjoyable game, but there are still those of us who would like to stretch the boundaries of the genre. Now, thanks to the popularity of online games and rpgs, we have that option. Whole New WorldsIf you’re looking to try out a new world or a new rpg genre, then you’re in luck. These days, available rpg settings range from horror to steampunk to mafia and gangland to paranormal and even modern day settings. The benefits of this massively enlarged imaginary landscape cannot be overvalued–instead of one imagined world players now have access to a myriad of glittering universes. Where you once had the option to play a role like mage or knight or forest ranger, you now can play games that put you in roles like Al Capone’s, a Vernian inventor, a government agent, or zombie survivor. Intense CustomizationThe range of roles, like the range of scenarios and settings available for you to explore through online rpgs, has dramatically expanded all of a sudden. It allows the player even more avenues for the kind of game experience customization that can make or break their rpg gaming experience. Further, it exposes you to even more online gaming opportunities and communities than ever before.
