Abstract
The process of massive multiplayer online gamers and their social environment is analyzed in this context. Video games offer a platform for players to develop essential social and emotional skills with online gamers, such as predicting behaviors, providing support, and building relationships. Gaming serves as a communication channel, and games played in groups promote increased socialization instead of isolating individuals. Supporting each other during gameplay strengthens friendships, and MMOs ensure that ties with old friends are not broken. Multiplayer games can help players form lasting social connections and memories by fostering a positive and enjoyable gaming experience. Through shared experiences, players can form close bonds and support each other in difficult situations. Online gaming enables individuals who have never met face-to-face to establish strong and meaningful friendships. Players may be meticulous when recruiting people to their group to ensure that they are skilled, friendly, trustworthy, and will enhance their gaming experience.
期刊介绍：
The mission of the International Journal of Game-Based Learning (IJGBL) is to promote knowledge pertinent to the design of Game-Based Learning environments, and to provide relevant theoretical frameworks and the latest empirical research findings in the field of Game-Based Learning. The main goals of IJGBL are to identify, explain, and improve the interaction between learning outcomes and motivation in video games, and to promote best practices for the integration of video games in instructional settings. The journal is multidisciplinary and addresses cognitive, psychological and emotional aspects of Game-Based Learning. It discusses innovative and cost-effective Game-Based Learning solutions. It also provides students, researchers, instructors, and policymakers with valuable information in Game-Based Learning, and increases their understanding of the process of designing, developing and deploying successful educational games. IJGBL also identifies future directions in this new educational medium.
