Talk:Persistent browser-based game

message: Can this article and its revisions be moved to a new page called "Persistent browser-based game" and this page be made a redirect?  I think the full name of the term being described would be a more appropriate title than the acronym. B7T (talk) 03:39, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Move and redirect? 

message: *I changed the beginning of the article to paraphrase the pbbg.org definition, so it doesn't look so much like the article is promoting the site or just copy-pasting information.
*I wikified a bunch of technical computer terms in the article (and a few other terms).  I'm unsure about Object (computer science) being linked at "game objects"; I wasn't certain if that phrase was meant to refer to computer data or things in the game world.
*The Security section may need cleanup; I tried to edit it to make it clearer, but after a while it stopped making sense to me.
*I added a See also section; I included Browser game and Persistent world because they seemed to exemplify the two criteria that define a PBBG, and Virtual world because PBBGs tend to be games that take place in one.

thread_title:  About my edits 

message: There's lots of original research in this article. This is just another Persistent world, but with some information on how they might take place in a browser. There's no need for a separate article, here, and I think it would be useful to redirect readers to Persistent world so they can understand the fundamental game concept. 67.8.162.48 (talk) 05:55, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merger proposal 

message: I understand the reasons behind this suggestion. But the term PBBG has evolved out of the necessity to distinguish them from application based MMORPG's. A while back, it was difficult to locate PBBG's without wading through an endless pool of MMORPG data first, now that this standard has been adopted, it is much easier to locate and distinguish PBBG's from MMORPG's. I've watched this from the beginning when several developers were adopting different terms such as MMBRP, BRPG, BBG, and eventually PBBG. Though I understand the spirit in which it was given, I respectfully cannot support the merger proposal as I think it will only further confuse researchers.

text: Comment - The article does have a lot of incoming links from related articles, so Wikipedians who edit such articles already seem to find it useful on its own.  The only reason to merge it right now, is because it's short.  However, it used to be longer (though probably not as encyclopedic), so there's certainly been interest in improving the article.  I think the topic has enough depth, such that if it is merged into browser game, it would probably have to be split again soon.  But if there is a merge, I think it should be something like TheSeer's suggestion, essentially incorporating the existing article as a subsection of browser game with the original title tagged as a redirect with possibilities; B7T (talk) 19:06, 5 November 2016 (UTC)

replies: text: Seems okay to me.  The list is getting long, so I alphabetized it.  If it gets very long, we may want to reclassify them by genre, or create a new article for the list. B7T (talk) 20:51, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
