How An Internet Based Spaceship Game Works

By Gordon R. Caters


In recent years an extensive numbers of spaceship game options have become available to gamers who want to enjoy a science fiction based game online. MMORPG's, also called massively multiplayer online role playing games, are now being developed that feature futuristic worlds and space battles with excellent graphics. The popular genre of role playing games, or RPG's, serves 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 a few of the manners in which the Internet is used to manage such large online gaming communities?

Any spaceship game that is designed 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 constantly being run 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. The client software you need to enter the game from your computer is often sold and then a monthly charge is imposed to pay for the maintenance of the servers; a growing number of free games are also being developed and can be run directly in a Web browser.

The server system that a large number of Web based 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. All game interactions, from working together on a quest to chatting through a voice chat program, is managed through the server you and other players are connected to.

While many paid MMORPG's tend to offer more content and better graphics, there are many browser based games that are gaining considerable popularity. 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.

You can spend many hours exploring the world of your favorite spaceship game and develop an excellent character that you can be proud of. The special design of these kinds of games enables you to play from home but find yourself in a massive world filled with thousands of other gamers just like yourself.
