摘要：
The paper addresses the issue of how massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPG) affect the behavior of players. Basing on a series of research, the paper analyzes how massively multiplayer online role-playing games are created and highlights their specifics that possibly contribute to the development of psychological addiction to such games. The authors describe the outcomes of their own research on motivation in persons with gaming addiction aged 18 and up, with over 1 year of gaming experience. These outcomes suggest that current traditional criteria developed for assessing gaming addiction cannot be applied to this particular form of addictive behavior.
