The term ‘persistent world’ was coined by Richard Bartle, a British writer, professor, and researcher in the field of MMORPGs, and according to him a persistent world is a virtual world, such as a game environment, that is ever-changing internally even when no people are interacting with it.
The connectivity of MMORPGs is unparalleled, with hundreds, even thousands of users playing the same game, at the same time, in a persistent world that is hosted by the game’s developers. MMORPG stands for Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game, which essentially means that unlike RPGs, which do share a lot of features with MMORPGs, the world of these online games is continuously evolving, even when a user is offline.
