The Walt Disney company has now joined the world of MMORPG, with the launch of Disney's Virtual Magic Kingdom. This is a free-to-join version, and allows gameplayers to explore Disney's Magic Kingdom park, interact with each other, and undertake tasks and games in order to earn 'credits', which can be used to purchase clothing, posters, pins etc. Gamers can also customise their own 'room' and make friends with each other. There are strict guidelines concerning speech - if a gamer attempts to type in a word that is considered unsuitable (such as 'love' for instance), it will be replaced by a series of hash signs in the sentence. There is also the opportunity to continue to play your game if you visit Walt Disney World in Florida, by going to DisneyQuest, their virtual-reality and simulator attraction.

The Duel Arena is only available to subscribers. Located in the Al-Kharid desert it allows a more formal fight where the players can pre-agree the exact terms of combat, and what items will be gambled. It is possible to change a large number of settings to restrict exactly which items and combat styles are required, and players can choose either to duel for fun (in which case no items change hands), or to wager items which the winner will receive. Because of the option to limit the risk to a level of a player's do choosing, this way of testing a player's combat prowess against other is popular with many players.
castle Wars
Castle Wars is a mini-game involving two teams in a capture the flag-type game. The aim of the game is to take the enemy's standard (flag) from their castle and take it back to the standard in your own castle to gain points. You must prevent the opposing team from taking your flag by blocking them from your castle (place barricades, lock doors or collapse tunnels underground), or by killing them. Slain players will respawn within the game, so both sides are constantly fighting in most games. The game lasts for 20 minutes, and the team with the most points at the end of the game is the winner.
