One of the biggest knocks against the massive online role playing games like World of Warcraft and Everquest is the amount of time they take to play. If you want to see all the content those games have to offer, be prepared to invest some serious hours at the keyboard.

Wouldn’t it be great if you didn’t have to work so hard? Didn’t have to spend long nights working on quests or searching for that one monster to kill?

Well, there’s a new game that might be up your alley. Launching today is one that rewards you essentially for doing what you already do at work and home - web surfing. The game is, appropriately enough, called Passively Multiplayer Online Game.

A few words from the game’s creators:

“So many of us spend hours each day on the web. What do we have to show for our time? PMOG gives players points for surfing with the PMOG Firefox extension. Those points can be used to leave traps or treasure on any web site, for other players to find. Suddenly, surfing the web is a casual multiplayer online game.”

Go here to check it out. One note, you need a Firefox-based web browser to play. Oh, and be prepared to start out your new life as a shoat.
