The MMO, massively multiplayer online, is a video game which is capable of supporting hundreds or thousands of players simultaneously. By necessity, they are played on the Internet, and feature at least one persistent world. They are games played on personal computers. MMOGs, massively multiplayer online games, can enable players to cooperate and compete with each other on a large scale, and sometimes to interact meaningfully with people around the world. They include a variety of gameplay types, representing many video game genres. The quality of these games is determined mainly by the ISP's service and the stability of the PC. lUCID HYDRA should provide HD video at the PC's top rates to the ISP. Benchmarking the ISP will aid in rankings and be useful for tuning the PC for Competition.
The quality of service of the ISP can be determined by the qostest, quality of service test, http://www.qostest.com/ Their stated Benefits are:
"Enable end users to determine if they are being given a fair quality of service level from their ISP (which promises "best-effort"), and if any QoS is being conducted on their network.
Enable end users to test the performance of their Internet connection and to compare if service standards from their provider are dropping or improving
Enable end users to choose between service providers based on their provision of Internet as a service and not a connection
Based on a large sample of data, allows us to draw some conclusions on Internet service connectivity and how it differs between countries, ISPs and if it is affected by network equipment
Can be used as a test of network/QoS implementation "
