When some people hear the phrase online gaming they shudder. They think, ‘No way am I losing another cent on Texas Hold Em.’ Well, online gaming does not refer only to poker and casino websites. Instead it can mean fantasy, shooter, strategy, or adventure games you can play online with people all over the world. Age, occupation and, gender are all immaterial; everyone is welcome to play. World of Warcraft is one such online game and it is wildly popular.

The phrase online gaming is not about any specific game. It is used to describe a technology that enables people to come together through a network, generally the internet, to play certain games. Even a simple card game can be enjoyed by individuals who are thousands of miles apart. These are multiplayer games. Single player games can also be found online.

Today, the big rage is MMOGs, which is an acronym for massively multiplayer online games. Currently the leader of this market is World of Warcraft (WoW.) WoW is a role-playing game set in a fantasy universe. No other online game can come close to the number of WoW subscribers.

As mentioned earlier there are different types of online games. If first-person shooter games are your cup of tea, then you can match wits with thousands of people worldwide trying to kill you. Maybe you prefer strategy-based games, allowing you to assume the role of a king attempting to manage his realm. Sports games are also available. Golf, baseball, hockey, American football, and football are all fun choices.

The game itself is the main draw at first. But the reason people want to stay is the sense of friendship with other users. Players get to know other players and, even though they are not in the same room, they feel as though they are.
