Reseña del editor:

Approximately two million people play on line massively multi player games (MMGs), and more than 300,000 have signed on in just the last six months. In 2004, these games earned $440 million in the US and Europe. This book helps would-be gamers select the right game for them, choose a guild or group that best suits their playing style, get up to speed on rules and strategies, join the fray, and avoid getting outdone in that first gaming session by more experienced gamers. The author covers the history of MMGs and delivers the lowdown on the XBox Live service as well as top games like "World of Warcraft", "Final Fantasy Online", "Everquest" I and II, "Ultima Online", "Dark Age of Camelot", "City of Heroes", "Lineage", "Star Wars Galaxies", "D&D Online", "Lord of the Rings Online", "The Matrix Online", "Tabula Rasa", and "EVE Online". The DVD contains trial versions of popular MMGs that readers can try for free.
