Abstract: Software at a MMO game website creates a team to perform a collaborative game task in the MMO game. Each player on the team is assigned from a queue of players who share one or more attributes. The collaborative game task is composed of a plurality of individual game tasks. Each player on a team is assigned an individual game task by the software. The software provides a game reward to a player after the player has satisfactorily completed less than all of the individual game task assigned to the player. The software determines that a team has satisfactorily completed the collaborative game task, according to game mechanics associated with the collaborative game task. Then the software provides a game reward to each player on the team.

Abstract: Software at an MMO game website creates a team to perform a collaborative game task in an MMO game. The collaborative game task is composed of a plurality of individual game tasks. Each player on the team is assigned an individual game task by the software. The software removes an existing player from the team, if the existing player is not participating, and the software assigns a new player to a team. The software determines that the team has satisfactorily completed the collaborative game task associated with the team, according to game mechanics associated with the collaborative game task. Then the software terminates provides a game reward to each player on the team.
