massively

Massively is an English adverb used to indicate a large degree or extent. It modifies verbs, adjectives, or nouns to emphasize scale, as in "massively popular" or "massively increasing." The word derives from mass and shares a sense of bulk or magnitude. In everyday language, it often signals emphasis rather than precise measurement.

In video games, massively is widely associated with the phrase massively multiplayer online games (MMOs). MMOs describe digital worlds where hundreds or thousands of players participate simultaneously within a shared environment. Player interactions, persistent worlds, and evolving economies are common features. The degree of scale varies by game and server technology; examples include long-running fantasy MMOs as well as science-fiction titles.

Massively is also the name of a dedicated online publication that focused on MMORPGs. The site published news, features, and community content, serving as a source of information for players and fans of massively multiplayer games. Over time, like many niche gaming outlets, it underwent organizational changes and shifts in ownership or branding, and its role in the ecosystem has changed accordingly.
