Purpose	Role-Playing Games come in all sorts of styles and ways to actually play the Game. People may play the Table Top versions, or may even do some of the Live Action Role Play. Needless to say, these types are not the only types people may actually play. Now, on the internet a lot of people have developed their own rules, their own guidelines and manners of playing the game. Almost all of these "Realms" are "text" based which is done though typing, reading, and sending messages by one of the different types of methods.
Types of Realms
I have broken down these text based realms into four types to make it easier on anyone who comes to this page and find what they are looking for.
	Chats	Any type of Role-Playing which revolves mostly around entering chatrooms and interacting with each other.
	Message Boards	Any type of Role-Playing which revolves mostly around posting, reading, and replying to messages done on Message Boards.
	MUD	Multi-User Dungeon - A type of Role-Play which is mostly done in a "System".
	PBEM	Play by E-Mail. Any type of Role-Playing which revolves mostly around sending messages back and forth through emails.
