That being said, even in single player games the game designer doesnвЂ™t want the difficulty of the game to change as you play, so consequently the enemies in the storyline typically get stronger as well. Eventually the progression stops when the game is over. For example in a single player game, the player accumulates progress as they move through the story. There are some genres where infinite accumulation doesnвЂ™t present a problem.

Accumulation implies that something in your game is changing over time, which means that something about the gameplay experience is changing over time. While that stuff is commonly XP, characters also progress by accumulating all manner of things (items, cosmetics, buildings, currency etc.) From a long-term game design standpoint, itвЂ™s important to be extremely thoughtful about anything which вЂњaccumulatesвЂќ. Progression in an RPG represents the accumulation of stuff. RPG video games tend to rely heavily on stat progression to motivate players to set goals for themselves and give them a sense of pride and accomplishment when they finally achieve those goals, with varying degrees of success. Although collaborative storytelling and вЂњrole-playingвЂќ remains an important aspect of many RPGs, the use of character progression through stats/experience points has come to define the genre, particularly in the medium of video games. The genre includes not only video games, but also table-top role playing games like Dungeons & Dragons, which usually emphasize both collaborative storytelling and the progressive improvement of your characterвЂ™s вЂњstatsвЂќ. As many of you know, RPG stands for вЂњrole-playingвЂќ game, which is to say a game in which you as a player inhabit a character in a game world. I would like to hone in on the вЂњRPGвЂќ component of MMORPG.
