MMORPG = massive multiplayer online role playing game (must all be true and yes)

mmorpg:
massive - lots of people
multiplayer - playing at the same time
online - on the specific server
role - your online-self / ego
playing - enjoying / having fun
game - set of rules

What we got currently?

massive - yes, millions of people play different games
multiplayer - getting very close, many people in the virtual cities at the same time, 50+
online - no, too many servers
role - yes, good example is World of Warcraft, term epeen, epics, lore, feel
playing - yes, many things to do, many things to accomplish
game - no, too many hackers cheaters botters

today mmorpg is not MMORPG so whoever says that mmorpg is fun is actually dont even know what he is talking about and is complete ignorant or moron.

Amusing, I could say the same in closing about your argument.
Your definitions of online, and game are amusing at best. I'm assuming this is a troll attempt as it really serves no argumentative value.

Hmmm.... EVE sounds like a MMORPG to me.

To with-hold flaming. fact is your argument does not apply to the entire genre. Not every game has hacking. And hacking/cheat/bott does not prevent rules from being followed by the majority of players. I honestly dont understand the too many servers discounting Online argument

I simply dont agree

And just for future reference, 'role-playing' is hyphenated, so it counts as one word.

Playing as your alter ego.

They are part of the game and they do abuse certain aspects of the game which already makes it not a game which it is suppose to be, not talking about actual playing.

I'll make it simple of you, online is at the same time, in the same place, in the same virtual environment.

Is this supposed to be a failed attempt at trolling?

Yay for Dmitri the sped kid!!!!

Not always hyphenated but if you like to use hyphen between two words or not at all it is your choice not mine. Make no difference to me.
