You sound fat

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

ok but what is the difference between a moba and an mmorpg

mmorpg = massively multiplayer online rpg. basically an online game built around classic rpg elements (leveling up, quests, etc) but geared towards a multiplayer play style and built to accommodate thousands of players all playing in the same world

moba = multiplayer online battle arena. often lumped in with mmos due to the online element but they're really more like fighting games (built around "rounds", static characters with powers and abilities, etc). Emphasizes "skill" over luck or powerleveling which is like catnip for assholes who consider themselves "professional gamers". i think some skeletal lore thrown in for flavor?

that one player who tried to join tlv with a sociopath character and identified as an irl sociopath was playing from a moba canon, for what it's worth

it's more like a competitive RTS (real time strategy, think Starcraft or Command & Conqueror and its ilk) played in teams, where you don't have to build much, but you still gotta summon soldier and shit.
