MP has 3 meanings
1. What does MP stand for in fantasy video games?

Mana points

In fantasy video games, such as League of Legends (LoL) and Final Fantasy (FF), MP is typically short for "mana points." A character's mana points represent a pool of magical power from which they can draw to cast spells (or activate other abilities).

When a player's MP are depleted, they can't cast spells. Thus, you may see a player say they're "out of MP" or "OOM" when you ask them to cast a spell. This means the player can't cast the spell until their MP regenerate. (Typically, a player's MP regenerate over time.)

In some games, MP may stand for "magic points." While these games use different terminology for MP, their function remains the same.

2. What game mode is MP?

Multiplayer

Gamers sometimes use MP as shorthand for "multiplayer." In MP games and game modes, more than one player can play in the same game world at the same time. This is a contrast to single-player games, in which only one player can play at a time.

MP games may be cooperative, in which players work together to achieve a goal, competitive, in which players compete against each other, or a combination of the two. In most cases, MP games allow players to interact with each other - so players can help their teammates and hinder (or kill) their opponents.
