This is the page for the WikiProject Massively multiplayer online games. It covers all massively multiplayer online games (MMOs or MMOGs) as well as articles related to the subject of MMOs.

Scope

Any and all articles about computer and video games falling under the genre/classification of MMOG.

Goals

To create more articles about MMOs.
To update existing articles about MMOGs.
To set guidelines for articles about MMOGs.
To get more articles under the scope of the project to GA and FA status.

What this WikiProject is not

Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information and thus details of operating the game, walk-throughs, cheats, etc. should not be in articles within this WikiProject or Wikipedia in general. Other websites such as StrategyWiki would welcome information of this sort.

Through the help of a few project members, the first good article listed during our project's existence under our scope is World of Warcraft! Thanks to all who helped! Soon before the project was created, Make Love, Not Warcraft (also under our scope) became the first article under our (future) scope to make it to good article status.
