Language English Abstract As educators focused on second language learning, we must acknowledge that technology permeates virtually every aspect of our students' lives. Indeed, there is a wealth of material available online in all major languages at their disposal. This study will investigate online role-playing games designed for entertainment purposes and how they might be used not only to learn a language, but to increase motivation and the desire to spend time in the target language. In addition, it will discuss technical issues encountered and how they might be solved. Finally, it will take a look at the role of the teacher in such an undertaking and analyze the structure necessary to make a computer game educational.
