It's not 50 million players of mmos in the usa
It's 50 million players of ONLINE GAMES IN GENERAL. Look at that site, they include stuff like starcraft 2, cod, lol, diablo 3, farmville etc.. Actual number playing actual mmos is much lower. |

Originally posted by ShakyMo People don't seem to care about that distinction. PoE is discussed here, with its own board. So may be we can just broaden MMO to include online ARPGs. Personally i really don't care if a game is a ARPG, or a MMO .. i play it if it is fun to me. |

This game is awesome. I've been in closed beta for many months and have been a proud investor in there kickstarter for this project. My only regret is that I put more money invested in games that didn't deserve as much investment as this game deserves (gw2 and tsw). I do look foward to continuing to support this game in any way I can. The developers are amazing and have been very responsive not just on the forums but in game chat as well, taking time to answer questions from many random players. Grinding gear games is amazing and PoE is an impressive labour of love.

Originally posted by nariusseldon Success has nothing to do with PoE not being an MMO. It is not. Now whether MMORPG.com should talk about it or not, I don't care much, but they clearly decided to give credit to good online games in general. 2 things : Or forumers stop whining about their site's decisions, Or MMORPG.com stops talking about Diablo, PoE, and many many more to talk ONLY about MMORPGs. I think solution 1 is pretty good. |

Hm, yes interesting indeed that the nr 1 hyped game on MMORPG.com is not an mmorpg. Cant really see why you would call your site mmorpg.com but then list non mmorpgs. Does not make much sense to me. Maybe they should change the name of the site to MOG (multiplayer online game).  |

Proof of stagnations = everyone excited about ESO beta, when it's already so far along a bad path there is no turning back.

Originally posted by Yamota May be because the playstyle is close enough. Tell me .. is there a substantial difference between D3 gameplay (hti a button, go into a 4 player game), and WOW dungeon/raid gameplay? (hit a button, go into a 5-man or 25 man dungeon) If the playstyle is so close, it stands to reason that players interested in one would be interested in the other. Stringent definitions of MMOs are not very useful .. if it ignore what people are interested in.

Yeah, when Call of Duty and Texas Hold 'em appear on the games list, then you can wet your panties about games not being mmorpg.
How not to sell me on a game: "And most people that make it past the tutorial seem to appreciate [x game's] uniqueness, even if they don't find it fun." |

For those who say PoE is another brainless clickfest faceroll game obviously they haven't even attempted to play on the Hardcore League, or any of the other different leagues besides the normal Default Legaue. I guarantee you go into HC with that mentality and don't make wise decisions on your passive skill tree you won't last more than 10 levels if even that heh. Even on the default league you won't get incredibly far if you don't navigate the tree wisely with a good balance of defense and offense. As for it being a Diablo clone, it can be argued taht every game made to date is a clone of something else, which is pretty pointless. The fact of the matter is PoE is the same style of gameplay as Diablo games however adds many new mechanics and features that take the genre to awhole new level so I don't see how you can call it a clone. A clone is an exact copy of something else and PoE is by no means an exact copy of anything but rather it's own game that happens to fall under the same genre as the previous games it was inspired by. |

Originally posted by meddyck Lets just say your idea of proof and my idea of proof is very different. All this proves is that this site lists many games, not just MMO's and many people are excited about PoE. Anything related to MMO is strictly a supposition unsupported by your arguments. You know, in ancient Egypt. One of the hieroglyphics on the walls of the pyramids actually says 'I am upset as my heir will ruin my kingdom' or something to that affect. This is 5000BC stuff and you know what? Nothing has changed. :P |

People are just sad these days because once their MMO cherry got popped by the first special game all the rest feel just long and hard without any real charm.
Yes... I had to do it... entirely too many threads with whiners who wouldn't know a good game from their own ass if you gave them a flashlight, a map, and a stern talking to about which way their ass was relative to the game. |

This is just proof that mmos are overrated and not the end all and be all of gaming. You can throw in the Call of Duty franchise in as a great example.

The problem is MMORPG.com..
This website has lost sight of it's users and their games. It is now a one-stop marketimg gimmick. |

If you see no good or you see no bad in a game, chances are you are bias. |

Originally posted by meddyck So, I see you play Guildwars 2. How is your World of Warcraft clone doing? Fun I hope? Sorry, I just couldn't get over this to even get onto the topic. Pretty much that one term calling a game a 'clone' (which btw, is far from being like Diablo 2 compared to WoW and Gw2, even though it is NOT a clone) greatly harmed any bit of chance for civilized covnersation regarding the stagnation of MMos. |
