This pattern is a still a stub.

Examples
Using the pattern
where several, sometimes even thousands, of players share the same Game World, which itself has an existence independent of the players themselves. The high level of Social Interaction that occurs in these games can over time give rise to both Social Statuses among the players and Social Organizations given some support through the game design.
For practical reasons, Massively Multiplayer Online Games are have computer programs as Dedicated Game Facilitators that mediate the gameplay and other interactions between players.
Some Live Action Roleplaying games do approach the same numbers of players as Massively Multiplayer Online Games but differ in many other ways and the two patterns have relatively little in common.
