Review of Related Literature

A massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) is a video game that

combines aspects of a role-playing video game and a massively multiplayer online game.
As in role-playing games (RPGs), the player assumes the role of a character (often in a fantasy
world or science-fiction world) and takes control over many of that character's actions.
MMORPGs are distinguished from single-player or small multi-player online RPGs by the
number of players able to interact together, and by the game's persistent world (usually hosted by
the game's publisher), which continues to exist and evolve while the player is offline and away
from the game.
MMORPGs are played throughout the world. Worldwide revenues for MMORPGs exceeded half
a billion dollars in 2005,[1] and Western revenues exceeded a billion dollars in 2006.[2] In 2008,
the spending on subscription MMORPGs by consumers in North America and Europe grew to
$1.4 billion.[3]World of Warcraft, a popular MMORPG, had over 10 million subscribers as of
November 2014.[4] World of Warcraft's total revenue was $1.04 billion US dollars in 2014.
[5] Star Wars: The Old Republic, released in 2011, became the world's 'Fastest-Growing MMO
Ever' after gaining more than 1 million subscribers within the first three days of its launch.[6][7

Today, the Internet offers a variety of online games for everyone. There are harmless
cartoon-like games for young generation as well as aggressive and violent examples.
Whether it is a small kid or an adult man, every person will find anything to his taste.
Students are also active players in online games. There is nothing surprising in the fact that they
may spend the whole day or night playing online. However, such passion for online games may
result for them both positively and negatively. Let’s see what pros and cons for students online
games have and if it is worth playing them.
Positive impact of online games
It may be astonishing for somebody to hear that online games may have a positive impact on
college students. That depends mostly on the type of games students prefer to play. There are
games that only encourage development and improve cognitive operations. Playing them
students get a number of benefits even not realizing actually that it happens.
1. Motivation
It is not surprising to hear the words of a mother: “First, do your homework, then,
you can play on the computer!”. Though it concerns school children usually, the
situation with college students does not differ greatly. There might not be a mum
saying that, but a desire to play results in the necessity to cope with assignments
faster. Consequently, games motivate students to complete their task quicker.
2. Enables activity of the brain
One of the greatest benefits regarding online games is connected with the brain
development. In comparison with gambling, there are online games like
 strategies, adventures, puzzles that stimulate brain activity and allow gaining very
important for life skills without putting much effort. They are:
● Hand and eye coordination, improved motor skills;
Such games like simulations, for example, require great visual-spatial
ability and hand and eye coordination to achieve the desired goal.
Constant practices improve these skills greatly.
● Memory;
Some games require storing some information, memorizing maps,
rules, routes and it develops memory.
● Math and reading skills;
A necessity to read the rules, messages, explanations teach students to
be attentive and grasp the content immediately. Some games require
excellent quantitative analysis to be able to win, so it is useful for
improving math skills.
● Quick thinking and decision making;
To be able to win a game it is not only important to make a right
decision but also do that quickly to speed up your competitors. As a
result, players learn to make right decisions 25% faster, be accurate,
test different hypotheses to find a right solution.
● Concentration;
You can become a winner only when you concentrate on the
gameplay. Children concentrate on the hints and game texts so they
start recognizing written texts in studying better too.

Improving problem-solving skills

Most of the modern online games have a strategy that must be recognized by the player to win a
game. Making one or another step players solve puzzles, look for wayouts, try different
approaches to continue their progress. Such various strategies develop students’ problem-solving
skills.
Experimenting with aspects of individual identity
In games, every person can try on a variety of roles. You can be a negative character or a hero
who saves the world. Such possibilities help to open new features of your character and realize in
what direction you would like to develop.
Bringing up perseverance, accuracy, and logic
To become a winner you should try to go through one or another level for several times until you
learn all the secrets and hints for its successful completion. Such numerous repetitions bring up
perseverance and accuracy in attempts. If you do not act logically and accurately, your efforts
will never bring about desirable results.
Development of teamwork and cooperation skills
Many modern online games can be played in pairs, groups, teams. Connected via the Internet
players can communicate with each other to act together and achieve desirable results. These
games teach to work in teams and be important team players.
Negative consequences of playing online games
Of course, many people do not desire to admit that playing online games may bring about some
positive effect as negative consequences seem to them more apparent and serious. It goes
without saying that too much time playing online will make a negative impact on a student and
usually it can result in:

Lack of time for more important activities like studying or outdoor games
When students dedicate much time to games they so ply do not have time for other activities.
Even college assignments lose priority if an important battle is planned in the evening. That
results in poor grades and academic problems. Moreover, such students do not go for a walk and
exhaust their organisms sitting in front of the screen.
Negative online games
Addiction
One of the most serious problems connected with online games is an addiction. People become
obsessed with the virtual world, lose a sense of reality and spend all their time on playing. Most
often it concerns gambling, online casinos but simulations and other games may be dangerous
too. If a person can be easily influenced, the probability of him to get addicted is much higher.
Addiction is a serious psychological problem that requires treatment so it must be timely
detected.
Aggressive behavior
Many students are so influenced by games they play online that they transfer their virtual
characters into reality. They get used to solving problems as their nasty heroes and this
aggressive behavior becomes a customary thing for them. Such bursts of aggressiveness should
be eliminated immediately or they might grow into a habit.
Isolation from society
The online world is an opportunity to get away from real problems and students facing many
troubles in studying find this sense of freedom in games. They become so involved in playing
that lose a sense of reality and become isolated from society. That results in the absence of
friends, inability to solve real problems, communicate and be a member of the society.
Detrimental influence on health
Sitting in front of the computer, tablet or mobile screen is incredibly detrimental to students’
health. First of all, there is a negative influence on eye-sight that is in a constant tension.
Sometimes it is necessary to wear headphones all the time, so ears are under pressure as well.
Secondly, it is the body position. A sitting or lying position influences negatively your back,
neck and if you do not change it regularly, it may result in health troubles.
Conclusion
Online games are incredibly popular among students who seek new emotions in the virtual
reality. They take a big amount of their time as it is a perfect way to get rid of stresses,
exhausting assignments, and annoying roommates. However, despite the big number of benefits
brought about by online games, it is important to schedule your time of playing or negative
consequences will outweigh all the benefits greatly.

Positive and Negative Effects of Online Gaming

played online games in their entire life. One thing we know that is playing online games will
bring eye stress to the players. The actual truth is playing online games will have both positive
and negative effects. Let us discuss them in detail.

Positive Effects of Online Gaming

Enhances the Cognitive Functions – The online gamers can improve their cognitive functions by
playing online games. The combination of focus and the surges of neurotransmitters will
strengthen the neural circuits that make the brain.
Decision-Making and Accuracy – The online gamers can able to make the quick decision. Online
gaming trains the brain to take quick decisions without losing the precision. Without any doubt,
you can oo these games in order to make quick & accurate judgments.
Hand and Eye Function – It is needless to mention that, the online gamers will play their games
with the utmost coordination of their hand and eyes. Every online game requires the players to
use their hand and eye for the game to be successful.
Enhance the Teamwork – Multiplayer online games will enhance the teamwork among the
gamers. The gamers will use the most of their skills to win the game for their team. The gamers
will learn about winning the game as a team.
Negative Effects of the Online Gaming
Aggressive Behavior – Every player would like to win the game and hence they develop
aggressive behavior. The shooting games will induce bad vision to the gamers and the gamers
see the society in the same vision.
Loner – Of course, the gamers that spend most of their time in playing online games cannot
spend time with their friends and families. If the same thing continues, they want to be alone all
the time.
Wrong Values – Certain online games teaches wrong values to the gamers. The online games
depict women as weaker characters and sexually provocative characters. The gamers will take
that and they do behave badly with the women in reality.
Impact on Health – Yes, the gamers that take part in playing the online games would not like to
participate in any such activities that make them fit and fine. Not taking part in the fitness
activities leads to health disorders like video induced seizures, obesity, skeletal and postural
disorder, never compression, muscular disorder, numbness in shoulders, hands and elbows.
Bad Academic Performance – Playing online games for a long time will create a negative impact
on your child’s academic performance. The more your children spend in playing online games,
the sooner they fall asleep. Lack of concentration will be an issue to the children that spend more
time in playing online games. Some children would fall to the online games and a kind of
addiction will happen to them. Teenagers and students are more prone towards the harmful
effects of online games.
Verdict
Now, I hope that you might have understood the optimistic and pessimistic effects of playing
online games. There are some advantages and disadvantages of online games, playing is not a
bad one, but you should stick to your limits. Don’t waste too much time and take it as
entertainment to relieve stress.

What is an Online Game?
An online game is regarded as a video game that is played over a computer network. This
network is usually the Internet, but games have always used the latest technology: modems
before the Internet and hard wires or cable terminals before modems. The expansion of online
games reflected the general expansion of computer networks from small local area networks to
the Internet and the growth of Internet access itself. Online games can range from simple text
environments to games that incorporate complex graphics and virtual worlds that are populated
by many players at the same time. Many online games have linked online communities and made
online games a form of social activity that goes beyond solo games.

Positive Effects of Online Games on Students

Improves cognitive functions: online players can improve their cognitive functions through
online games. The combination of concentration and neurotransmitter waves strengthens the
brain’s neural circuits.
Precision and decision making: online players can make a quick decision. Online games train the
brain to make quick decisions without losing precision. Without a doubt, you can play these
games to judge quickly and accurately.
Hand and eye function: It goes without saying that online players play their games with
maximum hand and eye coordination. For every online game, players must use their hands and
eyes for the game to be successful.
Improve teamwork: online multiplayer games improve teamwork between players. Players will
use most of their skills to win the game for their team. The players learn to win as a team
Negative Effects of Online Games to students
Negative Effects of Online Games to students
Of course, a good number of people do not want to admit that playing online games can have a
positive effect because the negative consequences appear more obvious and serious. It goes
without saying that spending too much time playing online games has serious negative effects on
students, and can generally lead to the following results:
Lack of time for more important activities like studying or outdoor games
When students spend a lot of time playing video games online, they have no time for other
activities, and that’s one of the negative effects of online video games on anybody.. Even college
assignments lose priority when a big battle is planned for the night. This leads to poor grades and
academic problems. In addition, these students don’t walk around and exhaust their bodies that
sit in front of the screen.

Addiction
One of the paramount serious problems associated with online gaming is addiction. People are
obsessed with the virtual world, lose their sense of reality and spend all their time playing. Most
of these are games of chance, online casinos, but simulations and other games can also be
dangerous. If a person can be easily influenced, the likelihood of becoming addicted is much
higher. Addiction is a serious psychological problem that needs to be treated and therefore
identified early.

Aggressive behavior
Many students who play online games are so influenced by the games they play online that they
transfer their virtual characters into the real world. They now get acquainted with solving
problems like their evil heroes in the game, and this aggressive game induced behavior becomes
a habit for them. These outbursts of aggression must be suppressed immediately or can become a
habit.

Isolation from society

The online gaming world is an opportunity to seclude oneself from real problems, and students
who have a lot of learning problems will find that sense of freedom in games. They are so
involved in the game that they lose their sense of reality and cut themselves off from society.
This leads to the absence of real human friends, the inability to be real and solve real problems,
to communicate, and to be involved in the society.

Harmful impact on health.

One of the Negative effects of online games on students is the facts that it is harmful to their
health. Sitting a long time in front of the computer screen, tablet or mobile phone screen is
extremely harmful to the health of the students. First, there is a negative impact on the view,
which is in constant tension. Sometimes it is necessary to wear headphones constantly so that the
ears are under pressure. Second is the position of the body. A sitting or lying position has a
negative effect on the back and neck and, if not changed regularly, can lead to health problems.
Research Methodology

research study is trying to understand the essence of a phenomenon existing and
that is the effect of online games, by examining or knowing the views of people
involved in such case. One can perceived that this study is suitable for an
ethnography case, however the respondents are not baisly judged. 

In reality, mostly of the few accomplished research papers done by

psychologist concerned in this field have adopted a qualitative research design.
Some of them perceived that the future direction the field of this study will have
more sophisticated method to be used under a qualitative type of research study.

students experience lack of sleep, always tired and stress.

Interpretation

Among the given alternative of the common reason that can really affect the behaviour,
followed by stress, lack of time, lack of sleep and tiredness. All of these are factors of online
games to the students. Moreover being straight-forward is hard thing to do because it might
possibly create weakness, social relationship with other, low grades, low academic performance
and lack of time to study. Any chance of existence of the students addicted due to online games
this is the main reason that they experience low grades. Some parents said that their children are
usually play Mobile Legend.
