A competitive/cooperative online role-playing game (commonly abbreviated CORPG) is an online genre of computer and video games centered around the creation and development of an avatar with the intent of competing with and against others in a global competition or cooperating together in a private instance of the game world.

The term was first coined along-side the creation of Guild Wars, after the developers decided that their game did not to fit under the usual MMORPG moniker, due to its almost total use of instanced playing areas and focus on player versus player (PvP) content.

Other games in this category could include Diablo and Phantasy Star Online.
