RPG Browser Games are among the most popular browsergames and because of their mechanics very time consuming. Almost all roleplaying browser games, especially those of the fantasy genre, require you to create a character at first. Normally you can choose from a number of different classes and races of a fantasy world to use in the game. I most cases you can also choose your gender, and in some less likely cases you can also customize your appearance like height, hair colour, facial features and other unique traits of your avatar.

Then, the actual game begins and you get yot first quests. You always have to complete quests in order to get better in the game. RPG browser games are all about killing monsters and completing quests (which normally means to kill even more monsters) to get experience points and to get the money to buy better gear. Often you can collect thousands of different weapons and armors which will grow in power depending on your level. A newborn character will start off with, for example, just a shirt and a club, whereas a fully developed character will have something like a dragonslayer sword and a magical full plate mail.

In these roleplaying browser games you will get a number of turns per day or a number of actions which have a real-time duration. So you are forced to come back another day when you have reached your action limit. Normally you will send your character on one final long-time mission like "working for several hours" before you go to bed. That way you can reap the rewards, either experience points or money, when you log in again and your character completed the task. Although the game itself is free, in most games, you can buy special advantages, even more game actions, with real money that will be converted into the premium currency of the game. That way, very impatient players can level up and get more powerful faster and thus dominate over other players.
