Here are the classes of online games and their examples. First Person shooter game wherein multi players come to battle head to head with each other such as Doom and Counter-strike; Real-time strategy games such as Age of Empires and Facebook's Poker games; RTS games by which players meet at the lobby initially before heading to the game room; Cross-platform online play such as NFS: Underground and Phantasy Star Online. Browser games mostly come on a webpage as a Flash plugin which is why browser games are also known as Java or Flash games, example of this are Castle of Heroes and Neopets but as our technologies becomes more multifaceted and diverse so are online games, with the growth of MUDs which is a multi-user real-time virtual worlds, online gaming becomes more accepted and examples of this are Sims and World of Warcraft so as more advancement came, Massively multiplayer online games rise up to the top of the challenge.

People who assert that online gaming are for people who got nothing to do with their life are wrong because even those busy people find respite and entertain their tedious workaholic life through online gaming and if you only know how to utilize it and not get too much of it, I believe there is nothing wrong with it.
How does most online gaming nowadays operate? It could be that players can meet in game rooms and play but as for most MMOG games, you must create an avatar or a self-made character in the game and assure your character level up. Also, several gamers utilize this as an opportunity to make money, believe it or not but in some countries especially in Asia, online gaming is a nice business where you get to form your own team and then fight with other teams; it can be classified as either a sport or a gamble, depending on your opinion.
Online games provide everyone the opportunity to challenge oneself or either meet new friends or enemy for that matter so to make the most out of online gaming ensure that you have configured your computer to operate wholly with your chosen game.(See Igrice)
