Massively multiplayer open online role-playing games (MMORGs or MMOs) are now being used in education.
First, they are played via the Internet.
Second, they enable very large numbers of players to interact with one another in a virtual world.
Third, the games continue regardless of whether someone is playing or not.
Examples:
SourceForge is a resource for numerous open source MMO games to download for free.
EdWeb.net has a database of educational games, many of which are free and/or open source.
Fedora, too, keeps a list of free and open source games available for Linux.
