ab: Summary: The number of players of Massively Multiplayer Online Games is
    increasing quite fast, and the mechanics of these virtual worlds are
    getting more and more complex. Due to the eminently distributed nature
    of these games and their growing necessity of modern AI techniques, it
    is time to introduce design methods that take advantage of the power of
    Multi-Agent Systems in order to face the challenges of designing a
    modern Multiplayer Online Game. In this work, an introductory step into
    the characterization of Multiplayer Online Games as Multi-Agent Systems
    is presented. It is based on using mechanisms and concepts derived from
    the agent theory, like Electronic Institutions and Agent Organizations,
    as foundations for building the game system and the virtual
    environments.
