Chapter 4

1: And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I havegotten a man from the LORD.

2: And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.

3: And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.

4: And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:

5: But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.

6: And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenancefallen?

7: If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.

8: And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose upagainst Abel his brother, and slew him.

9: And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?

10: And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.

11: And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;

12: When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.

13: And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear.

14: Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.

15: And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.

16: And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.

17: And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of thecity, after the name of his son, Enoch.

18: And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech.

19: And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.

20: And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle.

21: And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ.

22: And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah.

23: And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt.

24: If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.

25: And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed meanother seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.

26: And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.

Unlike most video-games, MMORPG offers the possibility to not just interact with other players, but to create a whole background for yourself, be part of a online community, and have a reputation. Some games offer this posibility such as Tibia. In games such as this, there are different jobs, vocations, professions, etc. MMORPGs are usually medieval based (though some are futurist) and vocation dynamics usually are: Different kinds of mages or druids that use all sorts of magic, knights that use melee fighting, archers that use bows, and some games even have merchants. The name may change but the dynamic usually is the same in all MMORPGs. Usually, vocations complement each other in order to enhance the community. [edit] Genre challenges Most MMORPGs require significant development resources to overcome the logistical hurdles associated with such large production efforts. Online games require virtual worlds, significant hardware requirements (e.g., servers and bandwidth), and dedicated support staff. Despite the efforts of developers cognizant of these issues, reviewers often cite non-optimal populations (such as overcrowding or under-populated worlds), lag, and poor support as problems of games in this genre. These problems tend to be worse for free MMORPGs. Peer-to-peer MMORPGs could theoretically scale better because peers share the resource load, but practical issues such as asymmetric network bandwidth and CPU-hungry rendering engines make peer to peer free MMORPGs a difficult proposition. Additionally, they become vulnerable to other problems such as cheating. Several MMORPGs have suffered through technical difficulties through the first few days (or weeks) after launch. Early successes such as Ultima Online and EverQuest managed to pass through this stage with little permanent damage. Few games may have significant failures, leading ultimately to their demise, if they launch too early and contain frequent bug fixes, downtime, or structural game changes that may discourage players from continuing to play the game. Due to these problems, games such as Anarchy Online and World War II Online struggled to regain good press after their first month, and gained good press after stabilizing their servers. Dark Age of Camelot and City of Heroes showed hardly any signs of such difficulties. In addition to the challenges faced in making an MMORPG, designers also must face problems largely unique to the genre:
