                    [Summary] => 2004. The Year of the MMORPG. A year when every kid and his novena-praying grandmother knew the meaning of the words "mana," "NPC," and "top up." When no less than four MMORPGs laid claim over a sleep-deprived, crackers-and-cup noodles dieting, game-crazy nation. In the time it took a fifth-grader to blow his lunch money for a fifteen level spike in his character’s level, the MMORPG had become an indelible, immutable part of our pop culture lexicon, right up there with lunchtime variety shows and locally dubbed telenovelas.

Internet cafes first became popular because of the disc-based games played by many players attached to the LAN (local area network) but when the excitement of such games–dominated by CounterStrike–wore thin, most of the Internet cafes almost collapsed were it not for Level Up’s Oz World, the very first to introduce MMORPG in the country.
