translate English to German: MMOs enable players to compete with and against each other on a grand scale, and sometimes to interact meaningfully with people around the world. Most MMOs require players to invest large amounts of their time into the game (drawing one away from the real world), and are most suitable for a gamer that is not occupied daily with matters in the "outside" world.
Typischerweise interagieren und kommunizieren die Spieler miteinander und prägen somit das Fortschreiten der virtuellen Welt gemeinsam.
