It’s not difficult to understand the appeal of multiplayer gaming. The ability to play with or against human opponents is the most cited reason for multiplayer’s popularity. Yet the human element really encompasses a whole range of social interactions, including emotional responses, the mingling of different player personalities, all propelled by a certain competitive spirit. From MUDs to Doom to SubSpace, from Warcraft to Ultima Online and beyond, multiplayer gaming has enjoyed a great following and continues to evolve. And its path into the future seems clearly plotted by games like Tribes 2 and upcoming massively multiplayer games such as PlanetSide, Star Wars Galaxies, Dark Age of Camelot, and more.
