It's your DNS configuration. You haven't set anything up for  
massivelymultiplayeronlineroleplayinggames.org. I just tried adding  
an entry to my host file and your VirtualHost configuration works.  
Add an A record or CNAME record for  
massivelymultiplayeronlineroleplayinggames.org and it will work just  
fine.
