Boy, it's been a while.

IIRC the system is very precise, so that in the above config 
http://assivelymultiplayeronlineroleplayinggames.org will work but 
http://www.massivelymultiplayeronlineroleplayinggames.org will not.
I think you may need to add another line to fix that:

[...]
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/localhost/htdocs/mmorpg
ServerName massivelymultiplayeronlineroleplayinggames.org
ServerAlias *.massivelymultiplayeronlineroleplayinggames.org     <---- 
add this
<Directory /var/www/localhost/htdocs/mmorpg>
allow from all
Options +Indexes
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
[...]

This may not solve your problem, but it may solve some others down the 
road. Also, keep in mind that some browsers don't send enough 
information for the server to know what domain you want, so you might 
want to check things out with another server -- as well as the apache 
logs -- before being certain that the config doesn't work.

See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/vhosts/name-based.html for more info.
