How An Online Spaceship Game Works

By Gordon R. Caters


There are many different options for gamers who want to find a fun online spaceship game that allows them to connect with other players in the virtual world. An increasing number of MMORPG's, or massively multiplayer online role playing games, are emerging onto the market with science fiction themes and fun space based battles. The popular genre of role playing games, or RPG's, functions as the basic building block upon which the more advanced system architecture of MMORPG's are established; they rely on the Internet to keep the game running. In what ways have game designers made such online worlds for gamers and what new technology do these modern games rely on?

Any spaceship game that is made as an MMORPG is based on a client-server technology that allows individual gamers to log on to the game's main server. A gaming instance is always running on the game company's server, allowing for 24 access to the game by players in any part of the world and for the constant environmental changes that make MMORPG's so much more detailed than most console games. 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 server system that many online spaceship game makers use enables you to play together with lots of other gamers in a way not previously possible in console games. As opposed to making your PC run the entire game on its own, your computer is actually linking up with an entire server of other players who are also sharing the same world. The server system is what makes chatting through text and voice with other players possible in the game; it also enables you to chat with them in real time.

Browser based RPG's used to be considered to be simple and rather poor graphically, but that is changing as designers take advantage of new technology. But these games are also simpler to log onto, demand less bandwidth, and are either free or much less expensive that games that require additional client software.

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