A massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) is a genre of computer role-playing games (CRPGs) in which a large number of players interact with one another in a virtual world. As in all RPGs, players assume the role of a fictional character (often in a fantasy world), and take control over many of that character's actions. MMORPGs are distinguished from single-player or small multi-player CRPGs by the number of players, and by the game's persistent world, usually hosted by the game's publisher, which continues to exist and evolve while the player is away from the game.

There are Kid friendly Role Playing Games out there but these games are heavily reliant on in game communication between players. In order for you to be succsesful in most of these games you will want to join a guild or group of others to accomplish a goal or to win a battle etc.. You may not know who your child is talking to online. There is real time chat in most of these games and these converstaions are not monitored. If you choose to let your child play these games be aware that people can be easily drawn into these games and possibly become addicted.
