From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Passively Multiplayer Online Game (PMOG) is a multiplayer online role-playing game announced in an alpha release on Feburary 5, 2007. Initial funding came from the British Broadcasting Corporation, to explore the potential for passive online gaming to teach web literacy.

As of May 3, 2007 there appears to be 49 online and 647 offline users, including a number of known Electric Sheep Company (ESC) employees and affiliates. Justin Hall is the creative director, Duncan Gough the main developer, and Merci Hammon the writer/designer of PMOG which offers a "lightweight alternate fiction that happens in parallel with our web browsing"[1]. PMOG shares elements of lifelogging, alternate reality games, and casual games. The current version of PMOG uses a Firefox sidebar extension.
