As if Facebook didn’t already have enough of a reputation as an addictive timewaster, it’s now getting a dose of the most notoriously addictive and unproductive of online pastimes: role-playing. On Thursday, Oyxgen Games announced that its existing game Duels will become the first massive multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) to integrate with Facebook.
Like most MMORPGs, Duels is based on character development and amassing equipment. Where it shies away from the traditional RPG is in its short-term form, which allows players to dive into character for 10 to 30 minutes at a time without having to commit to longer sessions.
