From http://mpogd.com/news/?ID=4981

Following in the footsteps of other browser based games, the fantasy MMORPG Eternum Online is the latest addition to Facebook's ever-growing portfolio of multiplayer games.

The latest integration with Facebook will allow players another means of accessing the game, making it one of the most portable MMORPG games on the market today.

The article says Eternum is "following in the footsteps" of other games but which other MMOs are on Facebook? And before you say it Farmville is NOT an MMO!

I'll say it in spite of your prohibition, because Farmville is more of an MMO than virtually any of the MMOs in discussion on this site.  It is far more massive in scope, it is multiplayer, and it is online.  Whatever one might think of the game, to try to claim otherwise is nonsense.

However, none of what *we* would usually think of when we think of MMO(RPG)s that I know of ... geez, how about being spammed every time somebody downs a boss in WOW? :/  Hope the DBM folks are as grossed out as that thought as I am... ("Give DBM-FB permission to automatically update your status?") 

... then half of facebook's status read : " XX YSDDF is FIGHTING THE BLACK KNIGHT, 23%, 7/10 alive! Click HERE to join him!

How dare you present him with logic! Don't you understand? He fights epic fights, in epic games, with epic toons....eats epic food and takes epic dumps! He has more e..pic..icity...ness in his little finger than you have in your whole unepic body! - ChicagoCub

You might as well come out with it and just sign up to Habbo.  This game is an MMO in much the same way iphone apps are games. Yes,  "technically" so, but if youre anything in the way of a discriminating gamer...

Just to make things clear...
I speak for myself and no one else, unless i state otherwise mine is just an opinion. A fact is something that can be independently verified, you may challenge such but with proof. You have every right to disagree with me through sound argument, i believe in constructive debate, but baseless aggression will warrant an unkind response.

Discriminating taste doesn't change definitions.  Definitions are technical, if they are not then they define nothing.

 

See you in habbo, I heard you had a really great room with a beer fridge. :D

Are you honestly comparing Eternum Online to Habbo?? If we're being "technical"here, Eternum is more like oldschool EQ...

I have to cringe at all these people trying to label Farmville as some sort of hardcore MMO. If you ask me, any game where 90% of the content is done in isolation from any other players is a single player game with rankings and a chat room. AFAIK Eternum is the first of the "Proper" MMOs to utilize Facebook.

Guys, seriously. Farmville does NOT meet all the criteria required for something to be an MMO.


It's a farming flash game...

I must say, actually, Farmville has a MASSIVE user base (like 50mill I heard...) even WoW will whince at that...

Oh my, Farmville is NOT a MMO by any means!.  It is strictly a multiplayer strategy game.  That is it.  It is hilarious you even think it is.
