An rpg online game is a role playing game you play with many other people online, where you collect money, buy weapons, and fight each other normally in turn-based battles.  Sometimes it's known as a MMORPG or Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game.

Rage, I beleive I have mentioned this to you before.  You can not play online games with satellite, whether it be RPG's or shooting type of games.  The latency is in the thousands due to the need for the signal to travel to a satellite 23,000 miles in outer space and then back to your satellite at your house.  I had satellite for one year and still had to use dial-up to play games on.  Do not get satellite if you want to play games.  Now downloading and general surfing it was not bad, got about 600K download speed.
