Being Social In A Space MMO

By Berneice C. Brekke


The space MMO games, or massively multiplayer online games, grant players an opportunity to experience something totally different from standard, one-player games. One-player adventures make you imagine yourself as a sole hero who had to face everything on their own while massively multiplayer games force you to rely on your teammates during tough battles. This degree of interaction is possible because these games are served on the Internet where players connect to the same gaming servers and experience the identical game world after logging in. The social features of these games are essential, so you cannot act as if you were playing a one player game and still hope to advance through the online game's challenges.

You are often required to choose which team, faction, or group you will belong to when first getting started with a space MMO game. Your choice of faction is critical because it determines which characters you will see as allies and which are your enemies throughout the game; the former are the only ones you can form groups with. In games that are designed with two major warring factions, you will automatically be putting yourself in league with players in your faction and at war with those in the opposing faction.

You have a nearly infinite list of allies to choose from when your space MMO game has given you a mission that you cannot complete on your own and you are looking to form a group. Because you are likely to share missions with other characters in your general vicinity, you can ask them to team up and support one another by means of the game's chat system that is built directly in to the user interface. Keep track of the players that have been your finest allies so that you can continue to support one another on group missions in the future.

There are advantages to being social beyond just overcoming your enemies; your allies can also trade items with you and help you level up certain skills. A few folks get so caught up in fighting one battle after another that they forget to take the time to enjoy some of the more interesting social features of modern online games.

The science fiction gaming category has been significantly expanded through the development of space MMO games. Remember to be a good team player and to chat with other players regularly as you take full advantage of all of social features of your favorite online game.
