-A semi-commonly used abbreviation for '''Massively Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game'''. People will often use "online RPG" instead, though that is flawed, for a few reasons. The first reason is that there are single player rpgs found online, thus technically being online RPGs. The second is because the "Massively Multiplayer" term differs it from normal multiplayer in that a MMORPG is constantly evolving, changing, and going on without a player being there. In a normal Multiplayer RPG it starts and ends when the players who are connecting to a server start and end it. It also itsn't evolving, and a MMORPG will usually have many more features than a standard rpg that can be played online with other people.
