MMORGs are computer games that trace their roots to non-graphical online MUD games, to text-based computer games such as Adventure and Zork, and to pen and paper role-playing games like Dungeons and Dragons.
Some of the most popular MORGs are EverQuest, Ultima Online, and Asheron's Call. These commercial MMORGs generally require a monthly fee to play.
