MMORPGs 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 MMORPGs are EverQuest (1999), Ultima Online (1996), and Asheron's Call (1999). Of all MMORPGs, Lineage has the most subscribers and is the most popular in Korea. These commercial MMORPGs generally require a monthly fee to play.
